The more accusations of such unreason- able nature are made the more cause will the strikers have for jubilation and believing themselves invincible, although there is none whatsoever.

In two of your able leasing articles recently, after advancing strong arguments disproving the motion that the shipping industry is the life-blond of Hongkong, you pointedly asked that, if the scamen were economically indispensable, why did det the ship owcers meet their demands at the very ou'set, and thus prevent the strike; or, if they were ecotopically dispensable, why were they not displaced by other crews..
