Abstract

Reviews the books, He White Slave Market, 2nd Edition by Archibald Mackirdy and W. N. Willis (1912) and A New Conscience and an Ancient Evil by Jane Addams (see record [rid]2009-05340-000[/rid]). Mackirdy focuses her study to the traffic for the markets of the East, which includes, Egypt, Burma, China and the East Indies, to which women are shipped from Europe and America whilst the authorities are practically powerless. Addams points out the same fact from the human as well as the economic standpoint and argues that there is an obligation resting upon the state to discover how many victims of the white slave traffic are the result of social neglect, remedial incapacity and the lack of industrial safeguards.
