Mr. Wynne Jones said the Court could not take cognisance of such a reason. It only took cognisance of the fact that the passport was not valid.
Mr. Kwan-He is in the Colony for genuine business.
Magistrate-We presume he comes here for some reason. There has been no suggestion that he has come here to commit murder added Mr. Wynne Jones with a smile.
Mr. Kwan said that his client was prepared to give an under- taking to leave the Colony for Canton at once. He thought such an undertaking would dispense with the order for expulsion, which, if made, might ruin the defendant's
career.
The magistrate replied that there was a French Consul in every port on the China Coast and defendant could have gone to any of these and changed his passport.

The Chinese people have suffered a great deal and they are suffering to-day, but if the soul of China exists intact then there is no question of there being a dead China," said Dr. Lim Boon Keng, one of the foremost of China's educationalists when he spoke to the Chinese Association of Singapore. "China cannot be destroyed by force of arms, he stated, "but the Chinese people

the Chinese, to the animals because animals, when they were able to look after themselves, usually left their homes and their parents, to assume independence. It was filial piety that taught the young, when they grew up, to support, and love their parents in their old age, and the speaker said he thought the Chinese were right to emphasise this trait. It went as far back as Confucious whose teachings, how ever, were the same as the Chris- tian and all the religious teachings in the world.
What made the Chinese aurvive as one of the races was that the foundation of the love of the child- ren for their parents was based on the reverence of God, and that he thought. was a very important part of the national cult of the Chinese. "If you associate reverence of God and nature with your exis tence and are brought up from ear. ly childhood to regard this as a very important duty, it will be a powerful influence, all over your life. In this religion there is no theology. It is only a faith and so the Chinese always refer to your conscience, and when one refers to that, well that is the ultimate ap. peal, and so our people often, when pushed to the corner, look at Heaven and press the heart. This is the basis of our faith and this was the foundation of the tradition famous for a long time that the word of a Chinese was as good as his bond.
