Geneva December 4 The League of Nations appointed an advisory committee to study the white slave traffic with a $75,000 expense offer from the American Bureau of Social Hygiene. The expert panel led by F Snow and including M Hennequin Demeuron and Sugimura conducted fieldwork in 28 countries from 1924 to 1925. The second part of the report, detailing each nation’s vice conditions, was heavily edited by governments before publication and a diluted version with redactions is to be released to the council for possible publication.
