COMMENT OF THE DAY
Compulsory Service
THERE can be no, serious quarrel Government's decision to
Twith
implement at this time the Emergency Regulations promulgated earlier this year by introducing compulsory service." The action was foreshadowed in. January and is a logical development for ensuring that should an emergency arise the Colony's essential services will be adequately manned by properly trained personnel. It may be felt by some people that Government could have made another appeal for voluntary service, but it has to be con- fessed that previous appeals, though eloquently and persuasively phrased, and given considerable publicity In the newspapers and through the radio; - did not yield expected results, Govern- ment logically argues that if nothing is done to put essential services into Tair sliape before an emergency arises, the result can only be chaos when it becomes necessary to put those services into action. Government can be credited with purauing a sound policy and one which will be generally approved, even if the idea of compulsory training does not appeal to everyone. The planned development of essential services calls for a gradual call-up of personnel, and. it is not expected that the first batch will exceed 1,800. Presumably these trainees will be spread in such a way that all branches of the essential services, na wall is the Hongkong) Regiment, will become enlarged. No inlleation has yet been given as to the. method Government proposes to employ for the call-up: whether it will boby age groups or in alphabetical, order. It is, in any event, a small point. Of greater, Interest is the decision to offer callowances, and..
and bounties to trainoes, thus placing everybody, in this
respect, on the same footing. One of the most unfortunate anomalies of 1941 is thus avoided. Another necessary provision included in the new legislation is the right of an individual to appeal against conscription. It is hardly likely that the number actually taking advantage of this privilege will be great, but the existence of the safe- guard is correct in principle. Its non- inclusion, would have made the legis-> lation liable to severe criticism. So far Government has given only a general Idea about the compulsory service acheme. It

In due course, presum- ably, official pronouncements will be forthcoming, The lengths to which Government went yesterday carefully to explain the objects of compulsory service serve to show that it is intended. to take the public fully into confidence about the scheme.

Key Witness May Stand Trial
PARTISANS SAID TO HAVE CARRIED OUT SHOOTINGS
Munsan, Aug. 23.
Vice-Admiral C. Turner Joy today flatly rejected Com- munist claims that Allied forces had violated Kaesong's neutrality and told the Reds "the responsibility for any failure to maintain order in the neutral zone is yours alone,"
The senior United Nations: negotiator's 550-word state-¦ ment with six "enclosures" was handed to the Communist liaison group at the check-point midway between the UN Advance Camp at Munsan and the truce town of Kaesong at 9 a.m., Tokyo time.
"The United Nations Command,” said Admiral Joy, "has no control over or responsibility for partisan or indigenous forces in areas which are not under the effective control of United Nations forces..
"It has no control over or responsibility for citizens within those areas of the Republic of Korea occupied by your forces who on their own initiative take up arms against an invader.",
