Some of you may grow old with wearisome memory of the utter in- competence and corruption of some of the leaders who do not and can not lead.

The only return which the cinema makes to its patrons is bad health." The cinema is an evil influence in the world. Love-pictures guide young people into love affairs; mur- ders, ware, and suicides shown on the screen lend me to do these things."
The speakers on both sides were congratulated by the president at the end of the debate for the very high level of the speaches. In par ticular, Messrs. Ho Ka Ki, Ong Kim Sing, Tirlock Singh, and Yee Shou, San spoke effectively and con- vincingly, giving much promise of developing into excellent young
orators.
The division resulted in a victory for the cinema by 10 votes to 18.
