FITNESS AND GAMES
In his address recently to the Congress of Physical Medicine Lord
Dawson drew a sharp distinction
us
between physical education and the playing of games, In effect he in- vited his audience to look upon games a product of physical education rather than as a form of it. thus reverting to Classical ideas. That his attitude is justified none who had experience of the physical examination of recruits during the War will dispute. Many of these lads were unit to play strenuous games and could not therefore have derived any advan- tage from playing them. But even quite short courses of physical education effected changes which made the playing of strenuous games a delight. The weedy-look- ing young man, as Lord Dawson said, was transformed literally out of recognition. The moral, of course, is that education must pre- crde recreation. It is the player who makes the team in the first Instance; the Influence of the team on the player comes afterwards, and cannot, come at all if the play- er is unfit to react to it. This is BO obvious. in the light of recent experience, that it must be ac- counted a matter of surprise that policies based upon a contrary idea widely adopted. bave been Many delicate or physically weak children are seriously harmed by games. These children too often lose the power to play and so are deprived of great benefit. It is a sad reflection that the injury - ficted upon them might easily have been preverited.

In my article last week I discussed the lack of con- structive thought in Hong Kong; and the fact that "The Mau in the Street" takes little interest in affairs of policy because he is not adequately represented in Gov ecument, and therefore has insufficient responsibility for the good of the colony in general.

To bring all this nearer home. What is being done in Hong Kong to encourage suitable parents to have familles; and to discourage. or better still forcibly prevent the unfit from assisting in the ultimate ruin of their race by breeding diseased children?
As far as I can see very little is being done-particularly in the case of those in the latter category,
Because of the advance of
science, and its application in Hong i Kong vast numbers of the unfit are being kept alive when they would otherwise have died in infancy.
Charitable organisations, as well as Government departments, are doing what is undoubtedly splendid work in furthering the knowledge of infant welfare and general hygiene," as well as supporting poor families who have no means of sustenance.

NEED FOR EUGENICS

JAPAN'S INCREASE OF TROOPS

But still these schemes do not seem to offer enough assistance to the educated parents of small means, The obvious reason for this is that the said educated, parents have to do so much to help support the "burden of millions of diseased illiterates who are nothing but a drag on civilization.
In some countries, notably, Ger- many, enormous numbers of the unfit have, I believe, been sterilised. which is one method of stopping them from contaminating the race, but in most countries sterilization must be voluntary.
BIRTH CONTROL AND INFANT ·

Because modern science has pro gressed with such leaps and bounds recently, more and more diseased children who in the last generation would have died in infancy are now being kept alive to add to the general confusion.

FAMILIES
It is a mistaken ides that poor Chinese parents want such a vast family to support them in their old age. For one thing it is obvious that a number of children born at too close intervals have far less chance of surviving than a family bf five say spaced over a suitable number of years.
Of course there is a group of public spirited people of different races--although I think they are chiefly Chinese-who are working and hoping for better things in the future. This group needs all the co-operation and sympathy it can get in the terribly up hill work be- fore it, and I would earnestly beg the public of Hong Kong, made up as it is of people of such varied race and creed, to do all in their power to help the poor to help themselves.

SAVING THE NATION "As regards my political views, there are four points as expressed in my weekly memorial service address in Canton on May 4. They are as follows:-
(1, During the present national crisis, all parties and factions should give up their political plat- forms and should take part only in resisting Japanese aggressions.
(2) Every effort should be made to prevent an outbreak of civil war, so that undivided resources may be utilized to resist Japan.
(3) It is necessary to arouse the masses, so that the students,. farmers, workers, merchants and soldiers will unite and consolidate for the purpose of prolonged and nation-wide resistance.
་
(4) It is also essential to ally with those powers, who treat us on a basis of equality, for a com- mon struggle, Apart from our own part in resistance, all those who as- sist us in resisting Japan are con sidered as our frienda.
I am determined in upholding these principles and strive to put them into effect so as to save the Chinese nation."
