Whose Agent Is He?
Paterson, Isabel | February 11, 1931 issue

add to cart   close window

This article focuses on the indignation that has been expressed over the convictions, of girls charged with soliciting on the streets of New York, the protests have significantly and rather sickeningly avoided touching the real issue. Nobody has cared or dared to face the fact that the law under which such convictions were obtained and the New York law is typical of most American State laws on the subject, which is a source of corruption because it is inequitable by intention. In itself it is a kind of blackmail, being a legalization of privilege, of the double standard.
