After three days of talking, Allied and Com- munist liaison officers trying to get the cease-fire talks started again here, still could not lay the ghost of Kaesong.
Kaesong was the site of the talks before they were broken off 51 days ago because of disputes over alleged infringements of the five-mile neutral zone surrounding it by United Nations forces.

EGYPT: FORCE WILL Terrific BE MET WITH FORCE DECLARES MORRISON
London, Oct. 12.
Foreign Secretary Herbert Morrison said to- night Britain would meet force with force, if necessary, to keep British troops in the Suez Canal
area.
He said Britain would not submit to Egypt's attempt to scrap the Anglo-Egyptian treaty. -
Under the treaty Britain maintains forces in the Suez Canal area to guard that vital military and commercial artery. He told a Labour Party rally here

COMMENT OF THE DAY
THE
Essential Legislation
THE Ordinance introduced this week into Legislative Council by the acting Attorney-General to bring cer- tain features of Hongkong's common law in line with that of England gives rise to the expectation that, in due course, legislation concerning compul- sory third party insurance and Workman's Compensation Act will also be tabled. Both measures are sensible to a point of necessity. They have for long been in existence in other parts of the world with beneficial effects. The introduction of compulsory third party insurance was advocated as long as three years ago, but a plea was then advanced that it was not really essential in a place such as Hongkong. The argument cannot easily be sus- tained and we imagine, judging from the acting Attorney-General's remarks last Wednesday, Government is no longer inclined to be persuaded to the point of view. There is no apparent difficulty in drawing up suitable legis- lation. The English law governing third party insurance, can well be used as a basis, with modifications where considered advantageous, to meet

The British resolution manded:
purely local requirements and condi- tions. Few, if any, will dispute the correctness of compulsory third party insurance in principle and its applica- tion in Hongkong is overdue. Workman's Compensation Act would another progressive step. represent While it is true an increasing num- ber of employers are prepared to pro- tect their workers financially in the event of any of them suffering u disability accident during employment, no enforcing legislation exists. Con- pensation for injuries and disabilities sustained in the line of duty has be come an accepted obligation in the en- lightened areas of the world and there is no reason why Hongkong, becoming more and mure industrialised, should lag behind any longer. If the Colony is effectively to fulfil its role as demo- cracy's shop-window of the Far East it must keep abreast of accepted standards in the way of social and welfare amenities. Government will be giving a proper lead in this direction if, and when, it introduces legislation covering compulsory third party in- surance and workmen's compensation. Services Chief
