country. ! have never had to enter the
struggle for work here. but l have
studied the problems of the German
girls who have. And | have found that
hundreds of decent girls are brought to
disgrace and death through sheer iS-
norance or ne almost equal peril OF
loneliness. Most OF the girls on arriving
here know no language but their own.
and unless they go directly to friends
they are likely TO suffer anything.
There are plenty Of bad men and women
on the watch for the green ones as
they call them. and prepared to force
