S.M.C. confidence in our high standing as: law-abiding citizens, but unfortunately encourages bandits to try their luck when a solitary foreign woman walks along Vu-Yuen Road Is it not.possible to take half-a-cozen policemen off Nanking Road for patrol work in the Western area? At every street-corner along Nanking Road, at the entrance to every alleyway, a policeman is posted, and heaven knows how many more there are in private, clothes patrolling that thoroughfare—presumably to discourage "incidents." If it is quite impossible to withdraw any of these men—most of whom look half-asleep would it be possible to have the British military patrol which supplements the elaborate police precautions in Nanking Road put on similar duty in Vu-Yuen Road? If not, the only remedy for us unprotected' taxpayers will be to take out Japanese naturalization papers, and our demand for S.M.C. police protection will then meet with prompt response.
