THE ATTITUDE OF THE Soviet Union to Japan has shown a marked change since the termination of the Finnish war, according to the Yomiuri Shimbun. The paper said that since the conclusion of the Soviet-Fin- nish peace, Russia has embarked on a policy of annoy- ing Japan.
PRISON SENTENCE FOR BROKER
Kwok Shun-chuen, broker, charged with receiving 158 reels of newsprint knowing same to have been stolen, was this morning sentenced to six months' imprisonment by Sir Atholl MacGregor at the Supreme Court.
The newsprint was the property of the "Ta Kung Pao" and delivery orders had been signed by one of their employees, who disappeared on January 14.
There are the reports that the So- viet is concentrating troops in the Far East and Soviet patrols in Saghalien fired recently on Japanese patrols.
APPRECIABLE CHANGE "All in all, there are indications that the Soviet Far Eastern policy has undergone an appreciable change and M. Molotov may be suspected of having forgotten his much-heralded declaration of last September when he said he would endeavour to im- |prove relations with Japan," said the
paper.

SPORTS STARS ON R.A.F. STATION
One R.A.F. Station prides itself on the fact that since the war began its members have included probably the greatest collection of sporting celebri- ties that have ever come together at a service unit.
The list is certainly impressive. It in- cludes two former captains, of England in cricket, several county oricketers, many professional footballers of note, a number of boxers of world-wide repute, and even a table tennis and lawn tennis player who is known the world over.
At present at this Station are Pilot' Of- ficer R. W. 'V. Robins and Pilot Officer W. R. Hammond, the famous Test cricketers, who have with them Pilot Officer C. J. Barnett, another Test cricketer, Tom Whit- taker the famous Arsenal trainer, R. Jones the Welsh International, Rugby player, Pilot Officer J, C. Kilkenny, who has been capped several times for England in Amateur Soc-
Well-known sporting figures who have un-. dergone a course of instruction at this Sta- tlon and have now gone to another Station, include Eric. Filbey, English International table tennis player, who has also played llawn tennis, for England; Bob Gregory the Surrey cricketer, and the following pro-

ANNIVERSARY OF THE
72 MARTYRS
(SPECIAL TO "CHINA MAIL")
Shanghai, To-day. All Chinese schools, theatres and amusement resorts are closed to-day on the occasion of the celebration of the anniversary of the 72 Canton martyrs.
The defence was that accused did not know Hsu had obtained the goods unlawfully, but was selling the paper on commission. The goods were re- moved from Holt's Wharf to the Wing On Godowns for weighing purposes.
Summing up, His Lordship told the jury that they had to be satisfied on three points: (1) that the paper had been stolen from the rightful owner; The Royal Observatory reports that (2) that accused had received the the anticyclone continues to move A special commemorative ceremony goods and (3) that accused knew eastward; it covers Japan and the will be held by members of the famed when he received the goods that they neighbouring seas, pressure being Lone Battalion of Chapel, in the pre- had been unlawfully obtained.

As regards the first point, that was not difficult. On the second, it was known that accused took delivery and had the goods stored in his own name at the Wing On Godown and to his order.
The jury retired for 10 minutes and returned a verdict of guilty on all charges,
PLEA FOR LENIENCY MAN
Mr. Macnamara said accused had an excellent character. He had a wife and two children and a prison sen- tence would ruin him entirely. He asked that a fine be imposed.
Accused had been in custody since his arrest and was not able to obtain bail.
His Lordship said the amount of money involved was considerable, but in assessing sentence, he would take into consideration accused's past record which was one he could be proud of. He also bore in the mind "Ta Kung Pao's" childlike faith in their em- ployees, which might be idyllic but dangerous.
he greater part of the paper has been recovered but after all these considerations he could not accede to the suggestion that a fine would meet the case.
Sentence of six months was im- posed.
