Title: Wat de Indische Zedenmisdrijven ons te zeggen hebben
Description: Een critisch woord naar aanleiding van hetgeen hierover in de Indische- en de Nederlandsche Pers werd geschreven. Amsterdam, De Ploeger, c. 1940. sm. 8°. printed wrs. 24pp. At the end of the 1930's the discovery of an alleged network of homosexuals on Java triggered a witchhunt by police-authorities and the Dutch East Indies Press Press, leading to feverish discussions both in the N.E.I and in the Netherlands. J.H. François (an author of homosexual novels himself) made an attempt to place the events in the correct perspective. Interesting.
