ROCHESTER FINDS A MAYOR AT LAST Rochester's week-long search for a mayor (unpaid, no exvenses found) ended recently.

Mr. Knight sald “I have no woman relntive who could act as mayoress.” So the city’s large gold bangle and diamond . pendant, which are th mayoress’s badges of office, will be wmused for a year. Rochester's main difficulty In find- ing a mayor has been due to the fact that the city pays nothing towards his expenses (which may be os much os £2,000)... Dut it was the mayo- ress problem, not this, thant made Mr. Knight hesitate. He sald: “£ hope our mayors will eo {never be paid o salary.” Mr. Knight is secretary and mana- ger of a frm of coal factors.

Pleading that thoy thmselves were the -victims: of the robbers whom thoy wero assisting at the time, pleaded not guilty at Criminal S: robbery: by. two or more. The men were alleged to have been with two uncoaptured robbers in a junk which held up another junk and took the cargo of $00 worth of steam- ed water grass. The robbery oc- curred near Lung Ku Tan on October 12. The defendants were apprehend- ed in.o sompan off Castle Peak. . Mr. Justice E, H. Williams heard the case ‘before the following. Jury: Messrs. V. Walker. (Foreman), Yu Fook-chin, Lim En-tet, J. Cc. R. Humble, Wong “Wah-ding, Yuen Kwok-ching and B, Soltau. ~ Mr, J. B. Prentis, Assistant Crown Solicitor, | prosecuted and Sergt. Willcox assisted. In his outline Mr. Prentis said a {man named Ng Min bought the grass in Chinese territory for the equivalent jet $00 and hired o junke owned by Leung Chrong to bring the cargo into Leung Cheong had since ' yongkong. China and could not be returned to traced. About 2 p.m. on October 10, they were coming down stream into the New Territories when o boat con- taining the two men, onc stecring and the other in the bows, and two armed men, ordered them to stop. Under threat of revolvers, the cargo was transferred to the pirate boat. When Ng Min asked that some of tho cargo be left, first defendant spoke to an armed companion who thereupon gave Ng Min $3 and another foki fifty cents. When arrested, the two men de- clared that they had previously been robbed by the two armed men and had been forced to accompany them and assist In robbery. Case for Pity First defendant in his statement said that when Ng Min protested ut the robbery, he stid “Brethren, this is aw cuae for pity. Give them some ack.” The question. for the jury to decide said Mr, Prentis, was whether the two men were really under compul- sion. He suggested that they must have had ample time and opport- unity to escape if that was the case. _ Ng Min gave evidence benring out the Crown case, and after formul evidence, first defendant entered the witness box and deposed that he and second pccused were part of the crew of o junk previously ‘captured by other pirates, They had been coerced Into manning the pirates’. boat ana thelr own boat wag taken away pre- sumably for the sime purpose.

Although the Finance Ministry is maintaining its policy of leaving over those items which are not of urgent Lnecessity, it will take o “positive attitude’ towards plans relating tc reconstruction work following the hostilities. Efforts are being made, it is pointed out, to provide as fully as possible for the war relief measures. It is understood that the total amount of the Government estimates, including those for the Service Minlstrics, will run into enormous figurcs, It Is estimated that there will be an Increase of about Yen 225,000,000 in the coming fiscal year in the internal revenuc which will malnly be derived from the temporary profit taxes imposed In connection with the China Incident.

The Broadcasting We DO NOT intend to enter into controversy with the anonymous writer who regularly contributes Musical Notes to a morning contemporary, and who yesterday made this newspaper the subject of an attnck because it demands brighter and better balanced = programmes from ZBW. _ Were it not for the fact that the writer in question makes particular reference to our com- ment on the playing of Chopin's “Wuneral March’ and suggests by innuendo that we are guilly of disregard for the solemnity of Armistice Day, his comments would go unchallenged. In referring to the broadcast- ing of the “Funeral March”, we merely illustrated the typical dullness of ZBW programmes. We drew attention to the fact that, on the day in question, listeners were inflicted with six and a half hours of solid classical or semi-classical programmes, and no attempt was made to provide entertainment for the type of listener who abhors and does not understand what it is all about, and who is content only with lighter entertainment. That is not our idea of a balanced programme, nor is it an isolated instance of the local station's disregard for the re quirements of the. bulk of listeners, the proletarian class who make the financing of broadcasting in this Colony possible, We hold no especial bricf for jazz, and would be as quick to deplore any attempt to revolu- tionise broadcasting in Hong- kong to the extent that it would become a continuous purveyor of the “red hot mammy” type of programme so dearly-beloved in Manila, Frankly, we are irritated at the smug complacency of people auch os “Eeyore,” when they dismiss as n product of the “Silly Seacon” the legitimate com- plaints of Hsteners who have as much right to entertainment as the biggest taipan on the Peak or as himself. : We refor that writer to the broadcasting programmes pub- lished in the South China Morning Post on November 11, and invite him to compare the programmes for ZBW and Daventry. In one programme he will sce a constant repetition of the type of pro- grammo which, while it might bo. constructive, educational and. high-brow, fa completely boring to most; Ilateners, In the other . Reich.” EUROPEAN CROSS ROADS jN the early years of this cen- tury a famous _ picture depicted an aged, bearded patriarch, bent low over'a globe, a lean finger pointing at the earth’s surface over which the old man’s sad eyes seemed to wander searchingly. _ The picture bore the one word “Whither?” symbolising the plight of East European Jewry fleeing from massacre in Tsarist Russia. and the - anti-Semitic terrorism of Rumanin, Four million Jews left Eastern Europe in the 84 ycars between 1080 and 1914, to scck refufe in Europe, America and across the Seven Seas, Recently ut Evian, on the shore of Lake Lausanne, representatives of 30 nations, convoked by | President Roosevelt, sat round a conference table to solve the problem of Europe's Refugees, ficcing to-day from Hitler's Persccutlon ond threatened by mass expulsion and penury,. The Evian Conference was abor- tive,‘and to-day the statesmen of tho world, the statesmen at Evian like the aged) Jew in the: picture,- are searching the globe for an answer to his query, “Whither?” In Germany 500,000 Jews are under sentence of doom; Hitler de- “No more Jews in the Third Goering, in Hitler's name, proclaims a Four-Year Plan for the “liquidation” of Australla’s 350,000 Jews. Goebbels declares, “No room in German Austria for the Jews.” Polnnd’s statesmen under Gere, man influence, proclalm a policy of “Polonisation,” a purge of 3,000,000 Jews from all branthes of Statelife. Col. Beck, the Foreign Minister, an- nounces that “at Icast 1,000,000 Jews must emigrate.” One million are already on the starvation line. King Carol of Rumania has said that “hundreds of thousands of Jews are not entitled to citizenship,”. and Hungary decrees an 80 per cent, purge of Jews from trade, the pro- fessions and the Civil Service, Scores of thousands of Nazidom’s victims have already fied; the mile lions await fearfully their sentence of outlawry, Where are they to go? President Rovsevelt, at least, has realised that the Jewlsh problem jn Eurape must per dealt with on san international atsis. But President Roosevelt’ and the. other democratic leaders who seck to aid the Jews ore faced with thls devastatlng dilemma—while Europe prepares to shut the door behind the Wandering Jew, the rest of the world hos already all but closed it in hie "ace. So the searching fingers of the statesmen pass to and fro over the Rlobe's surface, from one country to the other, only to find written above them the words “No entry.” But over one Iand the Gngers pousc—over the Eastern corner of —the Daventry—programmo, he will find balance and porfec- tion, the type of complete pro- gramme which provides entor. tainment for all classes of Usteners. ‘i We do not feel ‘sufficiently m crushed by “Eeyoro’s” criticism to withdraw our allegation that ZBW is a. most. -hopelossly unente broadcasting station, : : ‘ Five million Jews are asking that question, and thirty nations seek an answer. BY A. L. EASTERMAN the Mcditerrancan where, 2,000 years ago, the Jews lived as a nation, There, it is asserted, must be found the answer to “Whither?” In Palestine. . Here, in the Jewish Nationo! Home proniulgated by Great Britain by the Balfour Declaration of 1917 and en- dorsed by the League of Nations, 420,000 Jews have sctticd slnce 1920, In what was previously derelict desert land and malarial swamp they have created a fruitful soll and raised every kind‘ of agricultural product, from the orange to the household vegetable, “On sandy wastes. modern cities have risen connected by great motor roads and rail, Water has been brought to the towns and the desic- cated fields, electricity in light and power to the remotest village. They have brought new industries to the backward Near East. They have built hospitals ond schools and a great University which stands proudly on. Mount Scopus, in Jerusalem. . . Since 1033, 136,000 Jews have fied from Nazi Germany. One-third of them, some 45,000, have been settled in Palestine, bringing with them £10,000,000 in capital which they have Invested In agriculture and Industry. Fourteen thousand of these Ger- man Jews—former artisans, profes- sional and bus'ness men—have gone on the land, 9,000 In private small holdings, 6,000 in the “communal” settlements. The others have been established in the towns and “colonies .as tradesmen and workers, Profcs- sional men, the Jawyers, doctors, teachers, have found employment in bullding, brickloying, road cone struction, and in the factories as well as in the hospitals, schools and colleges. : This Jewish scttlement has been accomplished despite drastic im- migration restructions and years. of terrorism ond civil. unrest, Had Britain, the © Mandatory Power, opened wider ‘the doors of Palestine there ig no doubt that. many more of Germaony’s refugees would have found asylum there. - Saye e Assuming freedom of entry, ¢x- perts maintain that Palestine can settte comfortably another million of Europe's homeless and hopeless Jews. i Viscount Samuel, formerly High Commissioner of Palestine, is by no means on extravagant advocate of . large scale Jewish immieration. Yet he has declared that there js room in Palestine for a population of not Jess than 8,000,000, including one million Arabs. With an existing . total populo- tion of about 1,800,000, there is, on this ‘basts, accommodation for at least 1,500,000 more people.

On 8,400 square miles 900,000 Arabs are settled—100 to the square mile. But Palestine alone is not cnough, for there are still four millions left, in Europe. Of these, one million will ° - require to be absorbed by other countries, the United States, South America, and elewwhere, at the rate of 100,000 o year over the next ten years, Two millions must remain in Europe.

Justice demands that these remaining two millions must be given the right to Hve and cam, unless they are to perish. Above all, the statesmen will have to consider ‘means to facilitate emigration to the one country which’ hns shown thd capacity _to absorb those for whom Central Europe de- * clares there is no place. ‘And this involves pressure on Great Britain, the custodian of the Jewish National Home, to end poli~ tical uncertainty in Palestine and to provido facilities through the removal of immigration restrictions for the. entry of Jews secking asylum and’. freedom. . . ‘A Refugee Tragedy’ 8 London. ° One of the most heartbreaking tragedies of refugees occurred re- cently when a Home’ Office letter stating that he had been selected as one allowed to practise In Britain reach ed an Austrian refugee a-fow days after he was found hanged’ in his ay room.

That a grievance over the Joss of a job was the motive for the crime, was suggested by the Crown at the Criminal Scssions yesterday when the trial of Li Man, alias Li Wai-man a 43-year old unemployed ship's greascr, on a chargo of having murdered a man named Pun Shing in a boarding house on September 4, was com- menced before Mr. Justice R. E. Accused pleaded not guilty. The following Jury was empancelied to try the case: Messrs, Ip Kwaiechung (Foreman), Ma -Shum-ka, J, Chan, Chan Chi-wing, P. P. Botelho, Wong Ha-kityy and H, U, Irciand. Mr, J. Whyatt, Crown Counsel, prosecuted, and Mr, H, Somersct | Fitzroy, instructed by Mr, F, X. D’Almada, Jnr., was for. the defence. Mr. Whyatt suld the case which the Crown would present in support of its allegation that prisoner was guilty of the charge was not, as so often in trialg of thls nature, one which epended upon Indirect evidence or deductions; nor was it one which depended on the veracity or even ree liability of its “witnesses, On the contrary, it ‘depended almost, though not exclusively but in a large men- sure, upon prisoner’s own admission that he stabbed deceased. The scene of the crime, went on Counsel, was the Lucn Hing seamen's bourding house in 24a Connaught Road Central, Anyone wishing to rc- side there had to become a member and contribute $2 2 month whilst in employment, In return for that contribution, he was entitled to stuy in the premises whenever he war aut of employment and receive two meals a day. Deceased was a seaman and he had been unemployed since February last, Being a member, he went to the boarding house und stayed there con~ tinuously until the time of his death. During his stay, he was Known as a quiet person, Accused had also been residing in the boarding house, but much longer than deceased, having been unemployed since 1936. Sense of Grievance There was no trouble between them untH August last when an event, quite Innocent in itself, oc- eurred which subsequently Ied to a sense of grievance on the part of the prisoner und finally, in the submis- sion of the Crown, to the murder of deceased, : On August 6, 9 mon named Tong Yat-kwong, who was employed. 2 engineer on a Taikoo Dockyard tug, visited the boarding house, with o view to engaging three men to fill certain vacancies which he thought were pending. He explained the ob- ject of his visit to Lam Chun, an as- sistant accountant, In the presence of Soo Wah-kit. Lam went out for a while and returned with three men, one of whom was accused, Tong told them he was not engaging anyone at the moment but sald that he would return in the middle or end of the month, should there be nny vacancy. In the meantime, deceased told Chau Fook, another inmate, of Tong's visit. Being an_ acquaintance of Tong, Chau went and saw him and evéntunlly succeeded in obtaining the jobs for himself, his brother and a clansman, Accused soon learned of this and he appeared somewhat disappointed. He gave expression to his feclings in a conversation on the night of September 2, when he lald the blame on deceased, saying: “You have told people to go and get my work. You have gone round behind my back.” Deceased replicd, “You do your own work and I'll do mine.” Accused seemed angry at this reply, and he must have adopted a threa- tening attitude, for when he was on his way to. his bunk, deceased was heard to say to him, “I am not afraid of you.” Nothing further happened until the night of the murder, Deceased went to bed about 11 p.m., and about the same time accused was seen lylng In his bunk. There was no disturbance during the night, but about 5.45 a.m. Cheng Kwai-fook, a shroff, who was sleeping near deceased, heard shouts. He Immediately got up, and then saw deceased in apparent pain and blood coming out of a wound in the abdo- men, Cheng did not see anyone moving, but os a result of what de- ceased told him, he went to the rear of the premises but could not find the person. The police was notified and while nwalting thelr arrival, Chan Wal- hing, the Heensee, mustered the 29 persons on the floor. He checked up their names, and found accused missing. A’Chinese constable arrived about 6.30 a.m. and deceased was removed to Queen Mary Hospital, where he was immediately Operated upon by Dr. Denn Smith. Deceased rallied after the operation, but complica- tions followed and he died on September 8. / No Signs of Struggle The premises were carefully exa- mined by Inspector Whant, who found no signs of any struggic, nor were there any indications of the floor having been broken into, Stcps were taken to find accused, and on the morning of September 5 he was found by a Chinese detective sitting on the pavement outstde an opium divan in Percival Street. | : When formally charged, accused made an Incoherent statement to the effect that -someone hod threatened to put him to death. At the Magis- tracy, he gave.evidence end said that -[the clerk of the club told him he would, get hima Job If he stabbed Pun Shing to death, lie obtained o knife, a-lttle over four inches long, and stabbed Pun Shing, after which he ran to Wanchai. Mr, Whyatt concluded by saying thot in view of this frank and candid statement, it wag clear that accused committed the murder, and no nmount of {ngenulty could alter that. smade® by Lindsell, Acting Chief Justice: The first witness called was Mr. F. C, Neville, of the P.W.D., who pro- duced coples of a plan of the board- ing house. In answer to Mr, Fitzroy, witners sald the dopr was bolted from inside and nobody, in his opin- ion, could have broken into the floor. The fire cscape, when he saw it on September’ 12, was. obstructed and, in his view, it was impossible for a huntan being to get in or out. ‘Sergeant T. G. Mackny, police photographer, testified to having tuken photographs of the scene, and Chan Wai-hing, the licensee of the boarding house, told the Court that shortly after the crime, he mustered those on the floor and found accused missing. Evidence regarding the visit madc by Tong Yat-kwong was then given by Tong himself, and Lam Chun, an assistunt accountant. Tong sald that when he saw accused he thought to himself he would not' engage him as he knew him to be an oplum-smoker. Overheard Quarrel Chau Fool spoke of having obtain employment from Tong, and Wont Ping, another inmate of the boarding house, deposed to having overhear:! u quarrel] between deceased and ace cused ‘on the night of September 2. Wong suid that deceased passed u remaris nbout having lost n job, to which accused replied, “You will know about It later.” After corroborative evidence had been given by Lung Pak, Hui Cho- chong, servant boy, said that he bolted the door that night. Chang Kwal-fook, a shroff, stated that about 5.45 a.m. on’ September 4 he was awakened by shouts from dc- ceased, He got up and saw Pun [n apparent pain, and blood was coming out of hig abdomen. As a result of something he was told, he went to the rear part of the premises and saw that accused's bunk was empty. The door leading to the staircnse was half open. Lo Ching, an oplum divan keeper, said that accused spent most of September, 4 In his place at 20 Per- cival Street, ground floor; and evi- dence of.arrest wae given by De- tective Chan Hung, C641, who stated that he took prisoner into custody while he was siting on the pave- ment outside the house in the carly hours of September 5. Inspector L. KR. Whant and De- lective Mak Fu, C467, spoke of having visited the scene of the crime, the former adding that there were no signs of any struggle. . After Tsui Yan-chui police inter- preter, had read out the statement accused when formally charged, the ecnse was adjourned until 10 a.m, to-day.

A. D. Forrest at the Central Magis- for the police, while the Jury’ com- prised Mcsars. H. M, dos. Remedios (Foreman), Sung Tak-lcwong ond I. M,. Sasso. Sait Dr. P. B. Wilkinson, who fs in charge of .the Victoria Mortuary, said that he performed ‘a post-mor- tem on the body of Pitman on Oc- tober 17 of 9.30 am.;A_ clreular wound In the scalp ond inch above the right enr, about half an inch in dlameter, was discovered. The sealp hair about the wound showed signs of scorching, while just above the side of the left car was another wound. . In his opinion, the cause of death wus wounding and laceration of the brain, hacmorrhuge and cardiac failure. The wounds were probably caused by a bullet The body was identificd: by Sub- Inspector W. N, Darkin the same morning as that of F. G. Pitmani Sergeant G. J. Perkins, the pollee armourcer, testified to having had been fired recently, while the working, parts of the revolver were -covered with blood. - Evidence of showing Pitman to his room on the fifth floor of the China Ficect Club on October 15 was given by the bar boy, ¥ce Kwal, who said the C.P.O. uppeared to have had a few drinks that night, but was not drunk at the time. On entering the room at 10 o'clock the next morning, he saw Pitman lying in the bed with his face covered with blood. He left immediately and reporied the matter to Mr. W. Thynne, the assistant manager, who reported the matter to the police. Sub-Inspector Darkin then arrived on the scene, and discovered a service revolver under Pitman’s right arm in the bed. A_ bullet wound was also noticed on the right side of his head. The bullet was later found imbedded in the pillow. Revolver Obtained by Ruso How the revolver was- - obtained from the ship was then told by Lt. Comdr. J. P. de W. Kitcat, of H.M.S. Birmingham, who sald‘ Pitman told him on October 14 that he hud been invited to Stonecutter's Istund for a practice shoot and asked for permis- sion to take a service revolver ond a, rifle. Pitman was also a member of the ship’s rifle and revolver team, and could have obtaincd ammunition by asking the Commissioned Gunner for it. He had known deceased for over a year, and he had always appeared to be very cheerful. He did not scem to have been worrying about anything, while his health had al- ways been good. . Evidence to show that Pitman had not been invited to a practice. shoot at Stonccutter’s Island way given by Captain G. P, Carless, in charge of the Stonecutter’s Rifle Range, while Mr. J.S. Cleary, Commissioned Gunner of the Birmingham, testified that Pitman had received a revolver and rifle from him on Saturday mor- ning. The rifle was, however, re- turned later in the forenoon. A short summing up of the evi- dence was given by Mr. Forrest, who sald the evidence showed that it was either accident or sulcide.. “Deceased was an expert in the use of guns, ond not ot all likely to make ao mistake,” sald Mr, Forrest. “The person last to see him alive said he was sober, and therefore not likely to misuse the revolver through being intoxicated. If he was not In- toxicated, he must have had the re- volver there for a purpose. “He had obtained leave that after- noon, and drawn a revolver by giv- Ing a false reason.” Concluding, Mr. Forrest sald It appeared that Pitmaon’s mind became unbalanced a few days before the suicide, while the circumstances showed that It was o case of suicide. Without retiring, the Jury return- ed a verdict of suicide.

Abbit” Hits Five Fours And A Six In An Over From Longfield ELK.C.C. Badly Thrashed By Royal Navy On Saturday There was on excellent game’ on the Clab ground Inst Satur- day botween a weakish Club side ond ono of the most conclusive beatings thanks very largely to some bad batting on their ‘part and time, some very good cricket by Manners who made a most’ century. 1 sald at the beginning that the Club were rather a weak side, but when I come to look into the team It seems to me that there were only three people playing who are not -eputar members of the first eleven. Truc, two of those places belonged to Bowker and Beck, and had they been in the side the bowling would have been much stronger. It is also true that Owen-Hughes had a damaged toc which may have inter- fered, to n certain extent, with -his batting and he had to have a runner all the time, It did not, however, seem to worry him very much as regards bowling, as he sent down fourteen overs later. The fact is that the Club batting wants a good deal of improvement if they are going to be as strong 2 side os I thought they were golng to be. Kil- bee scems quite out of form 50 far this year, nor has T, A. Pearce sct- tled down yet. Ride has, more or less, corried the Club on his shoulders for the last three matches or so, and he played very stoutly for 40 runs, though he was possibly a shade lucky not to be given Lb.w. to Moore fairly carly on. Kyrke bowled very fast, and I thought much better ‘than he has done before. He kept far more on the offside and sent down some ex- cellent balls. The one off which he got Alec Pearce caught at the wicket was o beauty, as it went about a foot over the top of the middic stump and had the batsman com- pletely ‘beaten... If he can only eliminate the leg ball and the ball which is‘bumped aot the batsman he ought to do vety well indeed. I had heard great things of Moore (or is it Moores?) but he was not on his length on Saturday, and I think that he would do much better If he turned the ball a bit Iess. However, I am told he Is definitely useful and he certainly took a very smart catch at point to dismiss Nelson, while the catch at second slip which sent back Owen-Hughes was also a pretty good one. Apart from Ride who bit strongly unt ne hit right across one from manners (whicn' came up a good acul. further than. he expected)..and always seemed comfortuble, no-one aid very much, Stokes has im- proved a good deal, though I still think he Is rather a lucky bat, and after the amount of escapes he had hitting Paxton on the leg side, it was not very bright to steer ‘the ball ,straight into Whitmarsh’s hands at square leg. However, he is develop- ing into quite o useful run getter and the Club can do with all. that. The only other batsman to show any form whatever was Owen-Hughes, who played. quite a.nice knock, thouch he di8“not get oa grdat. deol of the. bowling.’: It was only from PIMMS CUPS — WE HAVE JUST RECEIVED © the Navy, and the Club got that they have had for o long delightful Light Blues Lose At Rugger London, Nov. 21.

The pume between Crai- pengower and Recrelo at the Valley on Sunday’ was, I gather a: pleasant function but Craigengower were by no means ot full strength and missed Ernie Zimmern and Bilimoria badly. They could only get 85 of which Souza claimed 24 runs.

He found Robble Lee very accurate and curbed that tendency to nibble at balls on the off stump, a source of despair to all coaches. His 21 runs were made with beaullfully tlmed off drives. He lost Fisher carly when Owen-Hughes flicked the off bull, S-l-1. Crory and Law _ took the score to 34 with very good and correct cricket until Lay unfortun- ately pulled a very wide ball on the off on to his middle stump, 34-2-21. Crary followed his skipper's foot- steps and watched everything right on to his bat. Malden followed maiden from Lee. Hutchinson drove Owen-Huzhes for five, but in the next over from Sargent who: took over from Owen-Hughcs, mist!med one giving Goodban a loftly catch, 43-3-6, Crary and Kew added 17 runs, Kew also keeping a very watehful defence with a straight bat, pulling Lee_ delightfully to the leg boundary off two long hops. Crary touched o bumping ball from Sar- gent ond was taken in the slips by Lee, 60-4-22, Owen-Hughes then relieved Lee and found a length immediately knocking back Kew’a middle stump 60-5-9. EFFECT OF BASEBALL? It seemed as though the end. was near but Cheung followed up his brillinnt bowling with a plucky though unorthodox 20, running out to mect Sargent half way, and some- times more, to crash the full toss to the leg ‘boundary. Two runs came from Mucauley, but the innings closed at 82 when Cheung was run out after calling a second run with the ball safely in Youngsaye’s hands. None of the remalning batsmen scored. There Is a distinct baseball flavour in the stroke play of the later batsmen and one wonders whether the popularity of the American game dees have an ad- verse effect on the English game. I have already suld how potsonous It was to let youngsterr play “the ball fame”, Owen-Hughes and Sargent shared the spoils with 5 for 30 and 4 for 28 respectively, while Lee's one important wicket was obtained for 23 runs In 12 overs, six of which were maidens, a mute testimony to his necurncy and the keen watch- fulness of Lay, Crary and Kew.

Str,—I am n very keen softball! fan, and have followed almost every ame played this season, whether the - men's league or the friendlies nmong the girls.

It is estim- ated that the cost would be £30,000,000. The plan contemplates impounding a huge volume of water from the watersheds of northern Queensland. It would be carried by tunnel and nqueduct through the Great Dividing Range, and empticd into the Inland flowlng rivers for irrigatlon and the watering of stock in the Great Aus- trnllan Basin extending lo the New South Wales border, : Dr. Bradfield estimates that the scheme would make possible an in- creose of 20,000,000 sheep in Queen- sland's flocks and would, expand the annual income of Queensland by £ 10,000,000, At present Iosses of stock caused by drought in Queensland aggregate £2,500,000 ao yenr, Dr. Bradfield states. At 4 per cent. interest, that sum would pay the interest on ao capital expenditure of |£60,000,000.

Mr. Knight sald “I have no woman relative who could act os mayoress.” So the clty’s large gold bangle and diamond ‘pendant, which are the mayoresa’s. badges of office, will bo unused for a year. Rochester's main difficulty in find- Jing a mayor has been due to the fact at the city pays nothing towards hin expenses (which may be 2s much ts £2,000). But it was the mayo- ress problem, not this, that made Mr. Knight hesitate. He sald: “I hope our mayors wi never be paid a salary.” .

Leung Cheong had since returned to China and could not be traced. About 2 p.m. on October 10, they were coming down stream into the Now Territories wben o boat con~ taining the two men, onc steering and ‘he other in the bows, and two armed men, ordered them to stop.

When arrested, the two men de- clared that they had previously been robbed by the two armed men and had been forced to accompany them and assist In robbery. Caso for Pity First defendant In his statement sald that when Ng Min protested at the robbery, he said “Brethren, this is oe for pity. Give them some ack.” The question for the jury to decide snid Mr. Prentis, was whether the two men were really under compul- sion. He suggested that they must have had ample time "and opport- unity to escape !f that was the case. Ng Min gave evidence bearing out after formul witness box sand deposed that he.and second accused were part of the crew of a junk previously captured by other pirates, They had been coerced into: manning the pirates’ bont ana their own boat was taken ‘uway pre- sumably for the same purpose.

Ng Ping did not appear to be acting under threat when the robbery was commitied. Second defendant said his story was the same as first accused's, The Jury considered for «a few minutes, and returned a verdict in favour of both prisoners, who were thereupon acquitted. 7 CROWN CASE FAILS Solitary Identification Not Sufficient Depending on the identification evidence of one witness, the Crown failed to sustain a charge of robbery by two or more against Chan You 3! the Criminal Sess.on yesterday be- fore Mr. Justice E, H.

Broadcasting Wwe DO NOT intend to enter into controversy with the anonymous writer who regularly contributes Musical Notes to a morning contemporary, and who ‘yesterday made this newspaper the subject of an attack because it demands brighter and better balanced programmes from ZBW. Were it not for the fact that the writer in question makcs particular reference to our com- ment on the playing of Chopin’s “Funeral March” and suggests by innuendo that we are guilty of disregard for the solemnity of Armistice Day, his comments would go unchallenged. - In referring to the broadcast- ing of' the “Funeral March”, we merely illustrated the typical dullness of ZBW programmes. We drew attention to the fact that, on the day in question, listeners were inflicted, with six and a half hours of solid classical or semi-classical programmes, and no attempt was made to provide entertainment for the type of listencr who abhors and docs not understand what it is all about, and who is content only with lighter entertainment. That is not our idea of a balanced programme, nor is it an isolated instance of the local station’s disregard for the re quirements of the bulk of listeners, the proletarian class who make the financing of broadcasting in this Colony possible. We hold no especial brief for jazz, and would be as quick to deplore any attempt to revolu- tionise. broadcasting in Hong- kong to the extent that it would become a continuous purveyor of the “red hot mammy” type of programme so dearly-beloved in Manila. Frankly, we are irritated at the smug complacency of people auch as “Ecyore,” when they dismiss as a product of the “Silly Sencon” the legitimate com- plaints of listeners who havo aa much right. to entertainment as the biggest taipan on the Peak or as himself. We refer that writer to the ‘broadcasting programmes pub- Nshed in the South China Morning Post on November 11, and invite -him to compare the programmes for ZBW and Daventry. In one programme he will see a constant repetition of the .type of. pro- gramme which, while it might be constructive, educational and high-brow, {s completely boring to most Hatencrs. In the other IN the early years of this cen- tury a famous picture depicted an aged, bearded patriarch, bent low over a globe, oO lean finger pointing ot the earth's surface over which the old man’s sad eyes seemed to wander searchingly. - The picture bore the one word “whither?” symbolising the plight of Enst European Jewry flecing' from massacre in Tsarist Russia and the anti-Semitic’ terrorism of Rumania. Four million Jews left Eastern Europe in the 84 years between 1880 and 10914, to seck refuge in Europe, America and ‘across ‘the Seven Seas. Recently at Evian, on the shore of Lake Lausanne, ‘representatives of 30 natlons, convoked by President Roosevelt, sat round a’ conference table -to solve the problem of Europe’s Refugees, ficcing to-day from _ Hitler’s = persecution = and threatened by, mass expulsion and penury. The Evian Conference was abor- tive, and to-day the statesmen of the world, the statesmen at Evian like th> aged Jew In the picture, are searching the globe for an answer to, his query, “Whither?” _..... In Germany 500,000 Jews are under sentence of doom; Hitler de- crees, “No more Jews in the Third Reich." Goering, in Hitler's name, proclaims a Four-Year Plan fov-the “liquidation” of Australia’s 350,000 Jews. Goebbels declares, "No room in German Austria. for the Jews." Poland’s statesmen under Ger- man Influence, proclalm'a policy of “Polonisation,” a purge of 3,000,000 Jews from all branches of Statelife. Col. Beck, the Forelgn Minister, on- nounces that “at least 1,000,000 Jews niust emigrate.” Ono million are already on the starvation line, King Carol of Rumanio has said that “hundreds of thousands of Jews are not entitled to citizenship,” and Hungary decrees an 80 per cent. purge of Jews from trade, the pro- fessions and the Civil Service, Scores of thousands of Nazidom's victims have already fied; the mil- lions await fearfully their sentence of outlawry. Where are they to go? President Roosevelt, at least, has realised that the Jewish problem in Europe must be peal with on an International nsis, But President* Roosevelt and the other democratic loaders who seccic to ald the Jews are faced with this devastating diemma—while Europe prepares to shut the door behind the Wandering Jew, the rest of the world has already all but closed it in his ‘face. So the searching fingers of the statesmen pass to ond fro over the globe's surface, from one country to the other, only to find written above them the words “No entry." But over one Iand the fingers pause~—over tho Eastern corner: of —the Daventry——programm he will find balance and perfec. ‘tion, tho type of complete pro- ‘gramme which provides enter- tainment for all..classes of listeners. : °, Bae ee ne We do not feel sufficiently crushed by “Eeyore’a” criticism to withdraw our ‘allogation that ZBW is a: most unentertaining . ‘station EUROPEAN CROSS ROADS —By Strube tn the London “Dally Express” Five million Jews are asking that question, , cae % and thirty nations seek an answer.

Britain by tho Balfour Declaration of 1917 and en- dorsed by the League of Nations, 420,000 Jews have settled since 1920.

On sandy wastes modern cities have risen connected by great motor roads and rall, Water han been brought to the towns and the desic- cated ficlds, electricity in Nght and --power to the remotest village.. They have brought new industrics to the backward Near East. They have built hospitals and schools and o great University which stands proudly on Mount Scopus, in Jerusalem. Since 1933, 135,000 Jews have fied from Nazt Germany, One-third of them, some 45,000, have been settled in Palestine, bringing with them £10,000,000 in capital which they have invested in agriculture and industry. Fourteen thousand of these Ger- man Jews—former artisans, profes- sional and business men—have gone on the land, 9,000 in private small holdings, 5,000 in sctticments. ..The others have been established in the towns and “colonics” os tradesmen and workers, Profes-, slonal men, the lawyers, doctors, ‘teachers, have found employment in Building, bricklaying, road con- the “communal” struction, and in tke factories ag well. os in the hospitals, schoola ond colleges, This Jewlsh scttlement hoo been accomplished despite drastic im- migration restructions and years of terrorism and civil unrest.

There is room, therefore, it is claimed for another 60,000 families, _ 900,000 additional individuals. Alongside each agricultural , two non-agricultural familtics could be settled, giving another 600,000 individuals for ‘industry and -the professions, This is the Jewish economy jn Palestine, one=. third to agriculture, two-thirds to ~ trade and industry” 0 Jowish experts calculate’ that’! over a period of tem years Pales-' tine cim absorb, without difficulty, over 1,000,000 new inhabitants. This estimate takes no account of the! potentialities of Palestine. ay the entrepot of the Near East and. tho effect upon it of the necessary davo- lopment of the surrounding countrics, providing new opportunitics for an increased trading population. — ‘ Nor does the estimate take futo account the possibilities of Jewlsh co-operation with Transjordan, vast, fertile, sparsely populated - and -un- . developed, and of tho great areca of Southern Palestine, the .

On 5,400 square miles 900,000 Arabs are settled—180 to the square mile. But Palestine alone {s not cnough, for there are still. four millions left in Europe. Of these, one million will require to be absorbed by other countries; the United States, South America, and clowwhere, at the rate of 100,000 a year over the next ten © years, Tivo millions must remain in Europe, For them there is no escape.

REPORTED that an Italian Franciscan priest, Father Pio Belli, who has been for 33 years in China, was arrested by the Japanese on’ November 16, allegedly for bribing Chinese to destroy buildings in the Chinese city, where the fires recently raged. Father Belli, who was working in the refugee zone near the Han River, was taken into custody owing to the accusation of an unknown Chinese that the priest was paying him sums ranging from $5 to $16 to set fire to various houses. On the ‘same night, five Japanese soldiers (believed to be officers) subjected Father Belli to third degree, urging him to sign a confession, which the priest emphatically refused to do, denying the accusation, and disclaiming all knowledge of his accuser, On November 17, the priest .was again interrogated with his hands tied behind his back, The Itallan Vice-Consul sent a representation to the Japanese authorities requesting that Father Belli be permitted to return to his residence, and subscquent interven- tion by responsible Japanese military authorities resulted In his, release on November 17.

COMMITTEE, _repre- senting the American Chamber !of Commerce and the amalgamu- ted association of ten leading missions, issued a statement to- day giving the views of Ame- ricans in Shanghai with. regard to the Japancse reply to the American note or protest. The rtatement observed; ‘Jopan's reply has left no coubt in the minds of Americans in the Far East ns lo the real intentlons and objectives of Japanese imperlalism.. . “A situation has develcped, affect- ing American interests, which no longer ean be met with the orthodnx methods of diplomacy.” . : The statement characterised the ‘Japanese reply and explanations as ssophistrics or mis-statements nf fact, and it cited the rapid dectine” of American trade in Manchukuo, which was a prelude to similar events in the rest of China. The statement sald that Japan's plans for a tripartite bloc aimed primarily to act as a bulwark .for Jopancse military power, and secondarily to ald Japanese economy “credits.” This was tantamount to America underwriting her own un- doing. , “American residents in China have no doubt of Japan's dire intentions to throttle and expel American com- merce, and to control American mis- slonary and philanthrople enterprises. “Once China's resources are har- nessed to Jupunese economic and war machines, the menace to America is upparent, but then jt may be too late for peaceful means,” - |.

T IN JAPANESE COMMONS > TO URGE ANTI-GERMAN “ACTION: Government Accepts Labour Motion LONDON, Nov. 21. AN OUTSPOKEN AT- TACK on the anti-Jewish policy of. the German Government was made by Mr. Noel Baker (Lab.) in the House of Commons ‘to-day when moving a resolution noting with concern the deplorable treatment of certain racial, religious and political minorities in Europe, and requesting an immediate and concerted effort among the nations, including the United States, to secure common policy to deal with the refugees. Mr. Baker recited a list of revolting details of anti-Semitic inclacnts in Germany, which he asserted, he could guarantee were true, He declared that all the attacks he cited were organised in advance, and he cluimed that the events were not the spontaneous Indignatidn of the people, but the consummation, or perhaps the penultimate stage of a long-term plan, the spirit and purpose of which was plain. Mr. Nocl Baker sald that the Tong-drastic measures against the Jews were not supported by the German people. It was, he sald, no crime of disloyalty or treason which brought this fate on the Jews, who had shown a self-restraint in Germany, as they had in Palestine, which was aslmost superbumam. .. 3. -- FORCED ON ATTENTION - OF GOVERNMENT z Replying to the debate, Sir Samuel Hoare announced that the Govern- ment accepted Mr. Nocl Baker's motion. He was opposed: to open Interference in the affairs of other} ;. Powers, but the antl-Jewlsh measures in Germany forced ‘them. on the attention of other countries, “However deep our . sympathics, this problem must be an international one,” declared Sir Samucl’ Hoare. “Whilst we are perfectly prepared to take a full shnre of solving or mitigating the problem, it Is a> pro- blem for all the 32 countries at pre- sent members of the Evian Com- mittee.” Active enquiries would be made among those States, and Sir Samuel Hoare sald that he hoped steps would be taken in the immediate future, when the committee meets. in ten days’ time. ° SIR SAMUEL'S WARNING Dealing with immigration to the United Kingdom, Sir Samuel said that England was thickly populated with a large number of unemployed.

Arthur Lay paid the penalty of a bad shot but McLellan and Perry played out time comfortably. The Reercio fielding hns been described to me as superb, The bowllng was not particularly good and E. L. Gosuno- could not find a length until Jate on. “K.C.C. were ot home to Craigen- fower and had rather the better of n-drawn game. Neither side was at full strength and Cralgengower es- pecially missed Bilimoria; without him the attack Is somewhat innocu- ous. Tom Madar (43), Robert Lee (31), and Ernie Fincher (25) were top scorers for the K.C.C. Donald Anderson did not yo in until Num- ber cight and was not out 9, For Craligenpower G. Souza falled for once but A. R. H. Esmail made 27 and with two or three double figure Innings they managed to play out time with the score reading 116 for 6 wickets. ' UNIVERSITY WIN AGAIN The Recrelo second were very firmly dealt with by University Who put them out for GO, R. Singh (I do wish they would print” thelr nime properly) sent down 13 overs for 20 runs ond 6 wickets, an excel- Jent performance. Of the Recrelo only H, M. Xavier did anything. He ' got 22 out of a total of 60. quite honest Ree University were not very much better but they did man- ; age to crack up 74 for 8. NAVY TWO In spite of a statement of 1 con- temporary that the Navy drew with the H.KC.C. second eleven 1 still maintain that the Club won by four wickets. For the Navy, Clayton batted excellently for, 32 going In (if my memory serves m2) rather tater than usual, Divett, whose figures rend. 0-1-21-5, howled excel- lently. The score of 107 was not sufficient, Lowe made n nice 39 and N. P. Fox (who to my mind, but for this difficulty about wicket keepers, js well worth his place In the first) 30 not out, including a terrific 6 somewhere about middie wicket which nearly carried into the new concentration camp, It was, I gather, a cheerful game. THIS GOSANO BUSINESS - A joke Is a Joke and all that sort of thing but to my mind Recrelo are'poing a bit too fur with this Gosano business. On Sunday . they had no less than four of that ilk, G. L.G., J., and A.V. playing, while cer- tainly E. b. (and possibly a few more) were not playing. I really had thought that I had a couple of them parked safely In the La Salle team but not na bit of itl If the Secretary of the Reerelo has the clightest compassion upon a poor cricket scribe he will send mec photographs with blographical sketehes, finrer. prints and birth- marks of each Gosano who (a) has played (b) ts playing and (c) may possibly; at some future date play for the Club de Recreio! Thanks, 1 feel better now having got that off my chest! The game between Crai- rengower and Reereio at the Valley on Sunday was, I gather a. pleasant function but Cralgengower were by no means at full strength and missed Emie Zimmern and Bilimoria badly. They could only get 85 of which Souzn cliimed 24 runs. G. Gosago (one of the La Salle clan) took five wickets for fifteen in 6.3 overs and then proceeded to make 36 retired, n stood performance even ff the at- tack was not very formidable. Re- ereio won by 7 wickets, W, A. Reed (32) und E. M. L. Soures (24) put- ting up over 60 for the first wicket. Sammy Tsang, head, ‘An exciting tween Eastern and 8t.

Diocesan Boys Lose At Cricket (Continued from Page 8.) season's total is not fur he is scoring atu faster pace in all matehes, He found Robbie Lee very accurate — und curbed that tendency to nibble at balls on the off stump, © source of despair to all couches. His 21 runs were mide - with beautifully timed off drives. He lost Fisher early when Owen-Hughes filcked the off bail, 8-1-1. Crary and Law took the score to 34 with very good and correct cricket until Lay unfortun- ately pulled a very wide: ball on the off on to his middle stump, 34-2-21. Crary followed his skipper's foot- steps and watched everything right on to his bat. Maiden followed' maiden frum Lee. Hutchinson drove Owen-Hupnes for_ five, but in the next over from Sargent who took over from Owen-Hughes, mistimed one piving Goodban a loftly catch, 43-3-6. Crary and Kew added 17 runs, Kew also keeping a very watehful defence with a straight bat, pulling Lee delightfully to the Icg boundary off two long hops. Crary touched n bumping ball from Sar- gent and was’ taken in the sHps -by Lee, 60-4-22. Owen-Hughes:. then relieved Lee and found a length immediately knocking back Kew's middle stump 60-5-9. EFFECT OF BASEBALL? lt seemed us though the end was near but Cheung followed up his brillant bowling with a plucky though unorthodox 20, running out to mect Sargent half way, and some- times more, to crash the full toss to the Ieg boundary.. Two runs came from Macauley, but the innings closed at 82 when Cheung was run out offer calling a second run with the ball safely in Youngsaye's hands. None of the remaining batsmen scored. There is a distinct baseball flavour ‘in the stroke pliny of the futer batsmen and one wonders whether the popularity of the American game does have an nd- verse effect on the English game. I have already sald how poisonous it was to let youngsters play “the ball game", Owen-Hughes and Sargent shared the spoils with 5 for 30 and 4 for 28 respectively, while Lee's one important wicket was obtained for 23 runs in 12 overs, six of which were maidens, a mute testimony to his accuracy. and the keen watch- fulness of Lay, Crary and Kew.

Sir,—1 am a very keen softball fan, and have followed almost every game played this scason, whether the men’s league or the friendlies among the girls. It {gs evident that most of the girls have not a complete understanding of the rules and the fine points of the game—this fs thelr first season, and one cannot chalk It up ogainat them. But I don’t see how they are going to learn, or the game made more attractive to both pinyers and spectators alike, if In- dividuals who know less of the rules of the game than the girls themeclves nre asked to oMciate. At one of yesterday's fricndiles it was clear that the umplre’s knowledge (7) of the rules was rudimentary, Two stanzns of his decisions were all 7 could stomach, and I loft, feeling sick and disgusted.

E RECENT VISIT of the Financial Adviser to the Hall-Patch, to Tokyo, has nroused deep aprchension, combined with mistrust in Chinese economic circles. The Chinese papers in this visit, the Yi Pao emphasising towards the Anglo-Japanese customs agreement. city comment at length on the Britain’s compromising attitude Far East as evidenced by the conclusion of the The Chinese: people, it is ‘declared, are inclined to believe that the visit of Mr. Hall-Patch may have a bearing upon the Japanese attempt to undermine the Chinese currency, concessions to Japan the Yen bloc as a and they fear that Britain by monocuvring the Chinese currency condition for 2 guarantee on the part of the may moke further into Japanese to respect what is left of British interests in China, The paper expresses the view that such .apprehension ts unwarranted, stating that since the present conflict began, no financlal deatings whatso- ever have been conducted between the two countries and it would therc- fore be impossible for England to {join with Japan in a plan to link up ‘Chinese currency with the Yen bloc. Moreover, the currency reform which was carried out in China with co-operation of Britain was intended us economic weapon against Japan, Mr, Chamberlain, it is declared, would not be so foollsh as to assist Japan by destroying the Chinese currency. since It would moercly provide Japan with a deadly weapon for attacking England. As the largest Investor In China, England must de- pend upon Chinese currency retain ing its purchasing value, and in view of the fact that the continued exist- ence of forelgn rights and interests in China depend solely upon the con- tinuanee of Chinese resistance to the invaders, the paper points out the necessity of England assisting China to safeguard her currency during A AND MORE FLAVOURED THE PERFECT DRINK FOR THE C MONTH SsSTRO the perlod of war. BELONGS TO STERLING BLOC “The Morning Leader also attempts to dispel undue apprehension on part of the Chinese merchants_over the Tokyo visit of Mr. Hall-Patch, de~ claring that the Chinese currency be- longs to the sterling bloc and that Britain, even if she wished to do 50, could not destroy it because the greatest part of the currency reserves are deposited in the United States. Moreover, following China's currency reform, competition began between England and the United States to Induce China to join the respective blocs and Britain succecd- éd because of her greater investments in China. Should Britain now abandon her policy of assisting China financially, America would take her place. The third point advanced by the paper os argument ogainst the possl- bility of England going over to the yen bloc is the fact that since enforce- ment of the foreign exchange control in China, notes are the only medium of exchange in the country,, and Britain . must help maintain the stablilty of these notes in order to safeguard her own interests in the For East. A collapse of the Chinese currency would also mcan a fall of the British market. ‘The paper goes on to point out that Japan $s desirous of establishing o Far Eastern economic bloc in order to control China financlally, but in view of her dwindling financial re- serves, Japan requires assistance from outside, particularly from Britain. Japan has made an attempt to dis- rupt the Chinese currency by clr- culating military notes in the occupied areas, apparently hoping to absorb the Chinese. legal tender in this manner, but the attempt falled because of the Chinese currency re- | serve deposits.

Accused wus an oplum-smoker and, uccording to Taylor, 9n opium addict wag subjected to detective reusoning and gradual deterioration of the braln. hat accused must have been w vice thm of these was shown by his ram- bling statement in the Magistracy and the fact that after the murder, it he did it, he went, of all places, to an opium divan and was later found by the Police sitting; on the pnve- ment outside. _ Counsel concluded by asking the Jury, if they believed accused di commit the murder, to take into con- sideration the question of his sanity at the time. EVIDENCE OF QUARREL “In the course of his summing-up, His Lordship said that evidence had been given that there were no signs of a fight or on affray, and therefore the charge could not conceivably be reduced to one of manslaughter. As regards the question of motive, » His Loraship asked the Jury to con- sider the significance of accused's re- marks to deceased, “You will know about it later,” and said that there was abundunt evidence of 2 quarrel. Further, prisoner had himself ad- mitted that it was on account af the trouble over the job that he was in- duced to stab deceased. No explanation had been put for- ward for accused's disappearance after the murder, and his admission, though containing a number of lies, should not be partly or wholly dis- regarded, because it was mude in answer to the charge. Referring to the question of in- sanity, His Lordship said it was up to the Jury, as men of the world, to con- sider whether accused was subjected to hallucinations just becouse he smoked opium. No evidence Nad been called in support of that, Counsel merely in- viting the Jury to consider the ram- bling and contradictory. nature of the statement, coupled with the fact that Prisoner was an opium smoker, : no, EVIDENCE OF INSANITY a ls) my duty,” concluded fila Lordship,” to tell you that that is no evidence of insanity. On the con- trary, docs it not suggest to you that he must have known what he iad done by the very fact that he dis- appeared from the boarding house immediately after the murder and did not return?” i os MANILA SHARES The following quotatl celved afte: the close of the morning seasion through Reuters: Business Dohe Parecale ... a a anne ae ni Is Sat Culbertson on morning’: : Ua ioe : ¥ ‘Prices were lower in a quict = . fon.

Broadcasting E DO NOT intend to enter i into controversy, with the anonymous writer who regularly contributes Musical Notes to a morning contemporary, and who yesterday made this newspaper the subject of an attack because it demands brighter and better balanced programmes — from ZBW. Were it not for the fact that the writer in question makes particular reference to our comn- ment on the playing of Chopin's “Funeral March” and suggests by innuendo that we are guilty of disregard for the solemnity of Armistice Day, his comments would go unchallenged. In referring to the broadcast- ing of the ‘Funeral March”, we merely illustrated the typical dullness. of ZBW programmes. We drew attention to the fact that, on the day in question, listeners. were inflicted with six and a half hours of solid classical or semi-classical - programmes, and no attempt was made to provide entertainment for the type of listener who abhors and docs not understand what it is all about, and who is content only with lighter entertainment, That is not our idea of a balanced programme, nor is it an isolated instance of the local station’s disregard for the re- quirements of the bulk of listeners, the proletarian class who make the financing , of broadcasting in this Colony possible, We hold no especial brief for jazz, and would be as quick to deplore any attempt to revolu- tionise broadcasting in Hong- kong to the extent that it would become a continuous purveyor of the “red hot mammy” type of programme so dearly-beloved in Manila. Frankly, we. are irritated at the smug complacency of people such'as “Eeyore,” when they dismiss as a product of the “Silly Season” the legitimate com- plaints of listeners who have as much right to entertainment as the biggest taipan on the Peak or as himaclf. ‘ We refer that writer to the brondeasting programmes pub- lished in the South China Morning Post on Novembcr 11, and invite him to compare the programmes for ZBW and Daventry. In one programme he will sea a constant. repetition of the type of pro- gramme which, while it might be constructive, educational and high-brow, is completely -boring ‘to most, listeners. . In the hs, * from to withdraw our allegation that other | i the early years of this cen- tury a famous picture depicted an aged, bearded patriarch, bent low over a globe, a lean finger pointing at the carth’s surface over which the. old man’s sad eyes seemed to wander searchingly. The picture bore fhe one word “Whither?” symbolising the plight of East European Jewry fleecing from massacre in Tsarist Russia ond the untl-Semitic terrorism of Rumania. Four: millicn. Jews left Eastern Europe In the 84 years between 1380 and 1914, to seek refuge in Europe, America and across the Seven Seas, Recently at Evian, on the shore of Lake Lausanne, representatives of . 30 natlons, convoked by President Roosevelt, tuble to Europe's sat ‘round a conference solve the problem of Refugees, ficelng to-day Hitler's persecution and threatened by mass expulsion ond penury, The Evian Conference was abor- tive, and to-day the statesmen of the world, the statesmen at Evian like the aged Jew in the picture, are searching the globe for an answer to . his query, “Whither?” ° In Germany 600,000 Jewa are under sentence of doom; Hitler de- crees, “No more Jews in the Third Reich.” | Goering, in Hitler's name, proclaims a Four-Year Plan {ov the “Hquidation” of Australia’s 360,000 Jews. Goebbels declares, “No room in German Austria for the Jews.” Poland's statesmen under Ger- man influence, proclaim a policy of "Polonisationy’--at purge of 3,000,000 Jews from all branches of Statelife. Col. Beck, the Foreign Minister, an~ nounces that “at least 1,000,000 Jews rnust cmigrate.” One milHon are already on the starvation Linc, King Carol of Rumania hos said that “hundreds of thousands of Jews are not entitled to citizenship,” and Hungary decrees an 80 per cent. purge of Jews, from trade, the pro- fesslons and the Civil Service. Scores. of thousnnds of Nazidom's victims have already fled; the mil- lions await fearfully their sentence of outlawry. Where are they to go? President Rovsevelt, at least, has realised that the Jewlsh problem in Europe must pe cea with on an international asis, But President Roosevelt and the other democratic Icaders who secl to aid the Jews are faced with this devastating dilemma—while Europe prepares to shut the door behind the Wandering Jew, the rest of the world hag tlready all but closed it In his ace. So the scarching fingers of the) statesmen paso to and fro over the) globe's surface, from one country to! the other, only to find written above them the words “No entry.” But over one fIand the fingers pausc—over the Eastern corner of —the Daventry—programme, he will find balance and perfec- tion, the type of complete pro-| >, grammo which provides cnter- tainment for all classes of listeners, We do not. feel sufficiently crushed by “Ecyoro’s” criticiam ZBW is a.‘ most. hopelessly unentertaining |. | broadcas station, et - [say that the watercan do. you EUROPEAN CROSS ROADS —By Strube in the London “Daily Express” W HITHER?

L.’ EASTERMAN the Mediterranean where, 2,000 years ago, the Jews lived os a nation. here, it is asserted, must be found the answer to “Whither?” In Palestine. Oe Here, in the Jewlsh National Home promulgated by Great Britain by the Balfour Declaration of 1917 and en- dorsed by the League of Nations, 420,000 Jews have settled since 1020, In what was previously derelict desert and ond malarial swamp they have created a fruitful soll and ralsed every’ kind of agricultural roduct, from the orange to the household vegetable, On sandy wastes modern cities have risen connected by great motor roads and rall, Water has been brought to the towns and the desic- cated fields, electricity in Nght_and power to the remotest village, They have brought new Industries to the backward Near East, They, have built hospitals schools and a great University which stands proudly on Mount Scopus, in Jerusalem, Since 1933, 135,000 Jews have fied from Nazi Germany. One-third of them, some 45,000, have been setiled in Palestine, bringing with them £10,000,000 In capital which they have invested In ogriculture and industry, Fourteen thousand of these Ger- man Jews—former artisans, profes- sional and business men—have gone -on the land, 9,000 in private small and J holdings, 5,000 in the “communal” settlements, Tho others have been established in the towns and “colonics” as tradesmen and workers. Profes- sional men, the lawyers, doctors, teachers, have found employment in building, bricklaying, road con- structlon, and in the factorics as well as In the hospitals, schools and colleges. < This Jewish settlement has been accomplished despite drastic = im- migration restructlons and years of terrorism and civil unrest. Had Britain, the Mandatory Power, opened wider the doors of Palestine there ts no doubt that many more of Germany's refugees would have found asylum there, Assuming frecdom of cntry, ¢x- perls maintain that Palestine can settle comfortably another million of Europe's homeless and hopeless jews, Viscount Samuel, formerly High Commissioner of Palestine, 1s by no means on extravagant advocate of large scale Jewish immigration. Yet he has declared that there is room in Palestine for a population of not less than 8,000,000, including one million Arabs, j With an existing | total popula- tion of about 1,800,000, there is, on this basis, accommodation for at lenst .1,500,000 more people.

I met an Englishman in the comfortable lounge of the Copacabana Pasace Hotel, : “Just arrived?" he asked by way of Introduction, I nodded. “Off {he Almanzorn?” he continued, and again he was right. “you'll find this a queer country to stay in,’ he went on after a pause. “Thesy Brazzles (as he called “the Brazilians) arc a poor lot.

The Englishman wilted only very slightly, “About a month,” he said. “Of course come of the chans who've been heré a long time have been telling mo ali about it. They know, of course.” At this stage I saw fit ‘to mention that I had been ten years in Brazil. and knew somewhnt different. shocked the-Englishmon by saying I liked Brazil, lovd the Braxilinns. admired. their habits, and had never seen man rhot or a woman knifed. As I say, I shocked him. I know he hoped ond prnyed I was wrong. A forelen country simply. could not be even half decent, a Unfortunately he was'not thg only Englishman aercna. eal. opes for the Brother! a Le claim to be burdened by surplus Jews is well on the way to solution. It is conservatively estimated that in Western Palestine there are 500,000 acres of irrigable land of which less than one fourth has been made avallable for agriculture. If the whole available aren were cultivated, 75,000 families could be settied on it. At present, only 16,000 familics live ly on the land. There is room, therefore, it is claimed for another 60,000 families, 300,000 additional individuals. Alongside each agricultural family, two non-agricultural familitics could be_ settled, giving another 600,000 individuals for industry and the professions, .This is the. basis of Jewlsh cconomy In Palestine, one- third to agriculture, two-thirds to trade and industry. - ? Jewish experts calculate that over a period of ten years Pales- tine gan absorb, without difficulty, over 1,000,000 new inhabitants, This’ estimate takes: no acount of the potentialities of Palestine as the entrepot of the Near East and the effect upon It of the necessary deve- lopment of the surrounding countries roviding new opportunities for an Increa: trading population. : . Nor docs the estimate take into account the possibilities of Jewlsh co-operation with Transjordan, vast, fortile, sparscly populated “and” un-~" © developed, and of the grant aren of Southern Palestine, the Negev, 18 yet unsurveyed and unpeopled, which may become available for Jowish colonisutiun. : It is noteworthy that out of Pales- tine’s 6,000 square miles Jews now own only $60, ‘with a population of 800 to the square mile, On 5,400 equare miles $800,000 Arnbs are settlcd—180 to the square mile. “But Palestine alone Is not enough, for there are still four millions left in Europe. Of these, one million will require to be absorbed by other countrics, Oe States, South America, and ele ere, at the rate of 100,000 a year over: the noxt ten years, Two millions must remain in Europe. For them there fg no escape. What 1s. to become of these? Civilisation must proclaim that: the settlement of refugees is no acknow- ledgment of persecution ond the de- privation of rights. Justice demands that these remaining two _millons must be given the right to live and carn, unless they ore to perish. Above all, the statesmen will have to consider means ‘to facilitate emigration to the one country which has shown the capacity to, absorb: those for whom Central Europe de- clares there is no place. And this {involves pressure on Great Britain, the custodian of the Jewish National Home, to end poll- tical uncertainty {n Palestine and to provide facilities through the removal of immigration restrictions for the entry of Jows seeking asylum and freedom. ‘ ‘ A Refugee Tragedy’ : . : London.

Before school days 1s the tlme to take special care of young cyes. Because the child has,no sct “sccing tasks” ‘there is very little check on his eyesight, and the trouble may only be discovered later at school. Headaches, stupidity, unaccountable naughtiness, unduc clumsiness, and what is called “a deceitful look” can all be sure signs of cye trouble. *. * s XERCISE is invaluable and can be practised by any child who has good sight but who js working overmuch with his cyes.}, Selina docs her ten minutes cach in five minute stretches.

Next she closes her eyes os tightly as possible. . . so that her lds press ugainst the eyeballs . . . and blinks them slowly three times after cach shutting. This exercise immediately relieves strain and tightness and the deli- berate blinking lubricates the cyc.
