A resolution extend- ing the unqualified support of the Indian masses to Great Bri- tain in the successful prosecution of the war was adopted by the 22nd annual general meeting of the Indian Moslems Union at Calcutta yesterday. -Reuter.
"In response to your request for a message from me on the occasion of your celebration of Founder's Day I have great pleasure in join- ing with you to honour Sir George Williams who, 96 years ago in St. Pauls Churchyard, in the very heart of London, founded a world-000 wide institution for the protec- tion and development of those Christian and human ideals which are held sacred wherever the cause of freedom prevails.

RACKET IN COLONY
A GREAT NUMBER OF UN- EMPLOYED IN HONG KONG HAVE →FORMED "BEGGING SYNDICATES EMPLOYING CHILDREN OF THE POOR AND DESTITUTE TO CHASE PEDES- TRIANS FOR MONEY. THE "CHINA MAIL" LEARNS.
The racket is an important fac- tor in the recent increase in beg-- ging in the Colony.
The "Syndicates" employ small boys and girls, up to ten years of age. These children, mostly re- fugees are taught the art of men- dicancy and tenacity, before they are- permitted to go on the streets.
By agreement the Syndicate hirelings work in specified streets. The "Syndicates" bear the names of "A Hundred Sons." "Thirteen.
Friends," Ninety-Five," and
various other titles.
Beggars not belonging to the "Syndicates," are driven away from their favourite haunts by "Syndicate" henchmen.
"Throughout its long and hon- group of Chinese journalists to go to-day. They will be followed by ourable history the Christian As-on a mission to Japan will leave two other groups-Havas. sociation has nobly discharged its high mission and added yet one more bond of sympathy and un- derstanding between the Demo- cratic nations of the world."

A Most Amazing First Run Feature Production
A BIG PICTURE-in every sense of the word-
and Big from every view point, entirely different more sensational then any war drama ever present- ed ....the world at the mercy of the death ray my- stery gun that destroys 'planes miles above the clouds.
This was made clear dur- A REAL BARGAIN IN SUPER ENTERTAINMENT !
ing a secret session of the Chaniber of Deputies which lasted until a late hour.
At the end of the debate the House unanimously, approved the following proposal: This House expresses its full confidence in the Government and supports the de- cision taken on June 12, to the effect that Egypt, while not har- bouring enmity or hatred towards any other State, cannot but de- fend herself with all the means at her command if her territories or armies are attacked.”
The declaration of June 12,- which was similar to that made by the former Prime Minister, Aly' Pasha Maher, set out three con- ditions in which Egypt would go to war-if Italian troops_entered Egyptian territory, if Egyptian towns were bombed, or if Egypt!- an military objectives were bomb- cd. The conditions were, how- ever, qualified by an Arabic word meaning "unprovoked"—or, more
the initiative"- exactly, "takes
by means of which Aly Pasha Maher left himself a loophole that would allow him to avoid actively defending the country. The re- solution unanimously approved by the Chamber omits that word.
The Prime Minister said that he could not usefully add any- thing to the Chamber's, decision. He could say, however, that things were making progress in Egypt. The country was more united than It had been for long time, and a much better feeling was appar- ent everywhere. The country felt confident of the future. The cot- tor agreement was receiving the approval of all classes, who were. most.grateful to the British Gov- rument for their friendly assis tance.
The Egyptian. Minister of De- fence (Mahmud Pasha El Khaissi) wald faccording to Reuter) that an Egyptian mobile division has: taken up positions side by side. with-British troops in readiness to repel any Italian invasion.
