Four years ago 2.000 Chinese seamen were living within a stone's throw of the West India dock gates. Now it is doubtful whether there are 700, says the Daily News. During the war London's Chinatown ha? its most prosperious days, for quite a number of British ships were manned by Chinese crews. But when the war ended the edict went forth "British crews for British ships." I and as the Chinamen were paid olt they either went back to China or to some other country where their labor was in demand. The result was that Chinese traders In Chinatown began to suffer, and one after another had to put up their shutters. Then suddenly there came a boom. A beautiful actress died while attending an opium smoking party. Stories were printed about the thrills to be experienced In Chinese opium dens and public attention was focused on the sinister alleys and byAavs of Chinatown.
