Chinatown, and if any amelioration of those conditions should ensue, I shall feel that I have not written in vain. The kid napping of Moy Yen, as told in the chapters entitled The Shadow of Quong Lung, can be matched by many cases that have actually occurred in Chinatown. Of course, the best thing to do with Chinatown would be to burn it down; but the scheme is too Utopian to be discussed in a mere preface.
