to. cheer.
At the time this article was written I had believed. for some time that
columnists. in the Times and other journalists had been making references to
my situation. Nothing unusual about this you may think,. plenty of people
have the same sort of ideas and obviously the papers aren't writing. about
them, so why. should my beliefs not be as false as those of others?
What makes this article so extraordinary is that three or. four days
immediately preceding its. publication, I had a meeting with a friend,
during. the course of which we discussed the media persecution, and in
particular that by Times columnists. It seemed to. me, reading the article
by Levin in Saturday’s paper, that. he was describing in some detail his
"artist’s impression" of that meeting. Most telling. are the final
sentences, when he writes,. "The madman bursts into tears, and swears it is
all true. And it is." Although I did not "burst into tears". (he seems to be
using a bit of poetic licence and exaggerating) I. did try hard to convince
my friend that. it was all true; and I am able to concur with Mr Levin,
because, of course, it. is.
At the beginning. of the piece Levin reveals a fear of being attacked by the
"irrational" subject of his story, saying "I have no reason. to believe that
he is violent, but he should certainly be. approached with caution". This
goes back to the xenophobic propaganda of "defence" against a. "threat"
which was seen at the. very beginning of the harassment. The impression of a
"madman. running loose" who needs to be controlled through an agency which
assigns to itself the mantle of the "police" is also one. which had been
expressed. elsewhere.
In the final paragraph of this extract, his reference to Everyman’s. Library
as having "died a lingering and shameful death a decade or. so ago" shows
clearly what sort of conclusion they wish to their campaign. They. want a
permanent solution, and as they are prevented from achieving that. solution
directly, they waste significant resources on methods which have. been
repeatedly shown. to be ineffective for such a purpose.

    Canton, and a man kidnaped me. He said: 'Come with me; your mother
    told me to take you to buy something for her, and you are to take
    it back.' I have never seen my father and mother since. In 3 or 4

    68 in the North American_, 31 in the S.E. American, and 22 in the
    Australian stations (_all unprotected_); and _gonorrhoea_ was
    _higher than in any other naval station in the world_. This
    _official_ misleading feature is to be found in other quarters
    than Dr. Murray's Reports; for in the _Navy_ Report for 1873
    (p. 282), Staff Surgeon Bennett, medical officer of the ship
    permanently stationed in Hong Kong, says--"Owing to the excellent
    working of the Contagious Diseases Acts, venereal complaints in
    the colony are reduced _to a minimum_. The _few cases_ of syphilis
    are chiefly due to private prostitutes not known to the police."
In a representation made to the Secretary of State by W.H. Sloggett,
Inspector of Certified Hospitals, October 7, 1879, we get an exact
account of what led to the passage of the Contagious Diseases
Ordinance of 1857. He says: "In 1857, owing to the very strong
representations which had been made to the Governor during the
previous three years, by different naval officers in command of the
China Station, of the prevalence and severity of venereal disease at
Hong Kong, a Colonial Ordinance for checking these diseases was passed
in November of that year."
When Lord Kimberley was Secretary of State he wrote (on September 29,
1880) Governor Hennessy of Hong Kong in defence of the Ordinance of
1857,--at least as to the motive expressed by Mr. Labouchere for
consenting to the passing of the Ordinance: "These humane intentions
of Mr. Labouchere have been frustrated by various causes, among which
must be included that the police have from the first been allowed to
look upon this branch of thei
