SECURITY "A FOIL"
Democracies must mold a plan of positive collective, security to foil the dictatorships, Dr. Nicholas Murray Butler declared on his arrival in New York in the steamship Normandie, of the French Line, from a conference in London of the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, of which he is the head.
"It may just as well be recog- nized now as later on," he said, "that there is only one way for any great modern nation to keep out of a world war and that is to Join in preventing any such war. Once the war comes, isolation Is as hopless, as it would be im- moral."
.of
President Roosevelt's message April 14 to the heads of Germany and Italy postponed another great world war, a survey of leaders of opinion in Europe had shown, Dr. Butler, who is also President of Columbia Univer- sity, said.
"I therefore join with you heartily and in congratulating Messrs. Cable Wireless and the Hong Kong Tele- phone Company for their splendid en- terprise in providing this new service. I take this opportunity to send to you and Lady Northcote my kindest re- gards Good-bye.""
SIR SHOUSON CHOW Speaking to the Mayor of Chung- king, Sir Shou Son Chow said:
"I feel it a great honour and plea- sure to be privileged to participate in this auspicious ceremony.
"Speaking in my capacity as a Di- rector of the Hong Kong Telephone Company, I take this opportunity to give expression to our wish of long life and prosperity for China, and to extend our cordial greetings and best wishes to His Excellency Mr. Lin Sen, Chairman of the Republic of China, His Excellency Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek; Dr. H. H. Kung, Dr. Chang Kia-ngau, the Minister of Communi- cations, and General Ho Kuo-kwang, the Mayor of Chungking."
The Mayor replied wishing His Ma- jesty the King long and the best of health to His Excellancy the Gov- ernor of Hong Kong and greetings to the Chinese in the Colony.

"It is apparently well known that Hitler la constantly in con- sultation with five astrologers who are reading to him the algne of the staro, and telling him what lessons those signs have to teach.
"At the present time, the advice of these 'wise men' is that the climax of Hitler's career will come early in Sep- tember and that whatever he is to do to add to his fame must be done be- fore that date. This may sound like nonsense, but it is the sort of nonsense which may easily give to modern civilisation another terrific shock."
No one in Europe expects or counts |upón American military co-operation, Dr. Butler asserted, “but they do look with confidence for American 'moral support in defence of democratic 'in- stitutions and still more for American leadership in the task of rebuilding a broken and war-fearing world, and in preventing another world war it pos- ́sible."!
