"Local Appointees" (8m February) is too sweeping pass unchallenged.
The training and standard of Hong Kong medical graduates are not interior to those of European M.Os who are trained mainly in the United Kingdom because (a) every few years a representative of the General Medical Council, England, visita Hong Kong to see that the standard demanded by the C.M.C. is maintained. (b) the equipment is sufficient for practical purposes.
(c) the clinical material is unlimited. (d) the geographical reasons, far from being a handicap, help to con- tribute to the rich material in practical work in Anatomy, Sur.

MAGISTRATE CONDEMNS KEY-MONEY PRACTICE
"I cannot condemn too strongly this practice of?
landlords demanding key-money. Landlord's should be made to understand that they can- not take the law into their own hands, and that if they desire to recover whatever they might have spent on repairs they should apply to the Tenancy Tribunal. Anyone who has paid key- money should recover it by, eivil action."” This was stated by Mr. Blair-Kerr at Kowloon yester day prior to imposing fines of $1,000 on each count against Wong Yuk-ip, married woman, and landlord of No. 96, Nathan Road, Chan Kui alias Chan Lung. rent collector, and Chan Nam, nephew of Chan Lung
