HONG KONG NAVAL VOLUNTEER FORCE
The outbreak of war between Great Britain and Germany has inevitably imposed upon me the neces- sity of calling up a considerable number of the members of the Hong Kong Naval Volunteer Force. It is a very regrettable fact that that process cannot yet be re- garded as being ended.
I wish in the first place to acknowledge both the ready alacrity with which those who were called up... turned out and the high sense of public spirit of many of their employers who were seriously embarrassed by the sudden depletion of their staffs.
Secondly, I appeal to all employers to undertake to take back into their businesses the Volunteers thus call- ed up as soon as they are released.

LORD TWEEDSMUIR ON CANADA'S PART IN WAR
London, To-day. The Governor-General of Canada, Lord Tweedsmuir, in a speech when Parliament met yesterday, said that he was convinced that Canada and its people would unite in a national effort to de- fend to the utmost the liberties which were threatened.
Great Britain, honouring its pledges, was now at war with Germany. Parliament would have to con- sider measures for the defence of Canada and methods of co-operating in the effort against aggression and force.
'The militia, naval and air forces were already on active service and“ other steps had been taken to defend Canada's coasts and internal security.
Parliament would have to con sider proposals put before it with-' out delay for further action, In cluding an estimate covering ex- penses arising out of, or which might arise out of, the war.
This was a grave. hour. There had been few, if any, more critical in the history of the world. The people of Canada were facing the crisis with the same
fortitude as that of the people of thê- United Kingdom and the rest of the Commonwealth. Reuter.
