You will notice that refunds of $210 have been received, which goes to prove that, in certain cases. persons assisted do make effort to repay the Society.

Born in San Francisco, he com- menced his atudles at an early age with Leopold Auer, when that great violinist was on a visit to the U.S.A.

The democratic Powers would be the nucleus of this system, in which German, Italy and other nations now unsympathetic to- wards the League, would bc cordially invited to participate. An essential preliminary would be an undertaking by the satished countries of Europe to examine with the utmost sympathy the grievances of the dissatisfied nationa This, Sir Arthur con- siders, constitutes the only real chance of stopping the armaments race and achieving security and prosperity.

FUNCTION
Presentation To Mr. E.B. Reed

A very pleasant function took place in the Conference Room, P.WD., last evening when Mr. E B, Reed, Superintendant of Crown Lands and Surveys, was presented with
beautiful silver tray, subscribed for by his colleagues, on his impending retirement from the ocal Civil Service. Mr. Reed is leaving the Colony for Home' to- merrow, on long leave, prior to retirement.
In making the presentation, Mr. R. M. Henderson, Director of Public Works, palda glowing tribute to the sterling services rendered by Mr. Reed and wished him a happy retirement. Mr. Reed replied in a brief speech.

In addition to cricket, Mr. Reed has been actively interested" "in racing and is a steward of the Hong Kong Jockey Club. He has also been a member of the Royal Hong Kong Yacht Club since 1906 and has taken an "active interest in sailing and rowing.
On arrival in England, Mr. Reed will join his wife and children, who have resided there for the past five years. It is anticipated they will make their home in the south-west of England,

He cites the progress of foreign propaganda - especially Japanese, German and French- distributed. by state-subsidised news agencles for which there is no British equivalent.
"Reuter", he declares, "is the only big news agency in the world which is given no help by its Government in the business of distributing the news of the nation' to which it belongs, or, to put it the other way round. Britain "Is the only Great Power that has not given practical recognition to the value, in these days, of keeping the large-scale distribution of its" na- ticnal news in the hands of its own nationals."
Sir Arthur Willert does not pro- pose that there should be a state- controlled British news agency, but advocates that the Govern ments of the Empire especially the London Government, should extend to "Reuter and any other British agency which could qualify for assistance, facilities for cheap something is done soon, British transmission. "Unleas
