SOCIAL PARASITES.
In the same way the investigators did not find a central organization for kidnapping women and girls, but to quote the Report : " As there is said to be ' honour among thieves,' so these conspirators play into each other's hands when it suits them to do so ; but, in spite of a world-wide cameraderie (which incidentally served well the purposes of the investiga- tors), there would appear to be no organized international group. . . . These pests of society are real parasites who live on the body as well as on the soul of their host."
There has never been a more sinister and organized attack on the very soul of man than this one of the traffic, not merely in women and children but traffic in the weaknesses, abnor- malities, morbidities, which can be stimulated in human nature.
