Tokyo, Sept. 2.
Prospects for renewing the Korean armistice talks wilted today under the heat of Red pro- paganda, and a “little shooting war" was springing un within the framework of the truce setup.“
An unidentified plane machine-gunned the bank of the Imjin River a mile from the United Nations advance camp below Kaesong on Saturday. Six hours earlier, another dropped a dozen flares over the camp...
The Reds harped on their accumulation of claims that Allied armed forces had bombed Kaesong twice and killed three Communist, military police: mon on the side of the neutral aite.

It is not easy to compute those assets total in terms of dollars; one estimate is between $80 and $40 million, which could fulfil only a limited purpose. It is indicated that the Hongkong University is earmarked as the principal beneficiary, and if this be so, none will dispute the wisdom of the decision. That the existence of the University and its activities should be enduring it is generally agreed. The University is financially needy and, even if the allocation it received could do nothing more than pay for expansion, the money would be well spent. Government would be well advised to give as generous allotment as possible to a University which assuredly is well serving the interests of Hongkong, both. present and future. Use of the residue presents problems, and it would seem to require the creation of an ad hoc- committee to consider the question and to submit recommendations to Govern- ment.

UR London correspondent's report Japanese assets, in Hongkong and to utilise them for the general benefit of the Colony appears to have occasioned some surprise. The report, however, leaves the impression of being reason- ably well founded, although it can be presumed it is lacking in details. Hong- kong, in common with other parts of the world despoiled and humillated in' consequence of Japanese aggression in 1941, has been in quest of reparations. But reparations substantial enough to reimburse individual losses of personal property and effects have been ruled out by the occupation powers, led by the United States, and Colony residents who lost much or all of their possessions as a result of the Pacific war have written them off as irrecover- able. The position of British Prisoners of War has received separate attention, largely through the energetic efforts of han a POW committee which established itself in London and brought considerable pressure of public opinion to bear on members of the House of Commons. The expecta- tion is that British POWs who were in the hunda of the Japanese, including those in Hongkong, will each receive some monetary compensation to be made available from, Japanese assets in Britain. The amount will be nothing permanent In character and values commensurate with the sufferings and Whatever money la available from hardships they had to bear during their Japanese assets in Hongkong, must be Incarceration, but the share out will spent wisely and with an eye to the help to sustain the principle that where future interests of the community.vely a warring nation has transgressed
