M.P. TO PRESS FOR LORD HORNE ON
BREACH LAW
REFORM
Prepared To Bring
In A Bill
Mr. W. S. Liddall, Conservative M.P. for Lincoln, who tried unsuc- cessfully to put a question in the House of Commons on the law re- lating to breach of promise, stated later that he intended to press for reform
-00
Twice he jumped up and asked the Attorney-General, Sir Donald Somervell, "whether he was aware that in 1870. ..." On each gaston mention of the date caused merriment and interjections such as "What did Gladstone say la 792" that the question was not completed.
Mr. Liddall said that he had in- tended to ask Sir Donald Somer- vell if he was aware that in 1879 Sir Farrer Herschell, afterwards Lord Herschell, carried a motion in the House for the abolition of the breach of promise law, but that nothing bad been done since then.
"FATAL MISTAKE"
"A further question has been ac- cepted from me," he said. "I am to ask if the Attorney-General is aware that the House resolved to abolish the present breach of pro- mlse laws in 1879. Unfortunately I made the fatal mistake this afternoon of mentioning the year 1879,
"I am determined that there shall be some reform of the breach of promise laws. If I can- not get a satisfactory answer to my question I shall introduce a b under the ten-minute rule.
"Really I am rather cross with the Speaker about my question, Afterwards the Speaker admitted. and the clerks at the table agreed with him, that I was trying to ask a perfectly proper supplementary question."
Mr. Liddall, said his object in trying to secure reform was to pro- tect young men-and sometimes old ones against "gold diggers" who had suffered no damage whatever.

WAR DANGER
ii
Tribute To Premier
Viscount Horse emphasised the dangers of the present inter- hational position, when he spoke At the annual conference of the Scottish Unionist Association at Edinburgh.
"Conditions are now far mere formidable - than they were before 1914," he said. "In those older days you had arguments in Parlia- ment, long negotiations, and at the end a declaration of war te- fore hostilities commenced.
"We are away entirely from those old days There appears now to be no necessity for declara- tions of war. There may be no prolonged negotiations, you have seen in the case of China, whose only offence, seemed to be that she had a territory that other people envied."
Proceeding Lord Horne sald: "From the mouths of high-placed ministers and from the columns of a regimented Press, there are poured forth offensive and violent attacks upon what, are seemingly friendly nations. It requires cool
brains, stout resolution, sustained judgment, and the strong hands of the present Prime Minister to steer our ship in these stormy waters.”

WILL SHANGHAI BE RUINED?
WO
Shanghai is to-day confronted ¡-made against the foreign authori- $ curious question. Both Ptles, but there is no effort at foreigners and Chinese alike are mutually; the sincere strivings asking themselves: "Does Japan wish dilberately to ruin, one of the greatest cities of the world?" The answer should be unhesitat- ingly in the negative, yet the policies of the Japanese military -perhaps they are merely lack of policies, but they have a very positive effect-give rise to a spirit of doubt, even though no intelli- gent analysis can discern reason for any such Japanese attitude.
The Shanghai Evening Post and Mercury, an American-owned even-1 ing contemporary of that city, takes the question up effectively in a leading article which is given in part here. "Says the newspaper:
"Every war-waging nation with- in modern times has made it a special point graciously to stress its lack of desire to punish the civilian population of the opposing country, or to inflict needless hard- ships upon neutrals. Although the difficulties of fully living up to any
such declaration are obvious, it has always been found the soundest policy in the long run to adhere to it as much as possible. There is an immediate local ap- plication which is becoming in- creasingly and more painfully clear as each day passes with hoped-for improvement in Shang- ha's position completely wanting. and hard times growing harder.

"There has been such a variety of state- ment on the position that no one Beems to know precisely where anything" stands at the moment. With apparent goodwill, it was declared early in the hostilities that only the needs for 'defence' of the areas "north of the Creek kept these areas closed-that and a desire to preserve from harm

EX-MALAYAN
SAVES MANY LIVES
Invents Portable
X-ray Apparatus
A retired Malayan rubber plant- er received many tributes in the London Fress recently. He is Mr. J. C. Wilson, inventor of a portable X-ray appliance which can be carried by motor-car to patients far removed from hospital facH- ties..
When Mr. Wilson left Malaya, three years ago, he found himself with a little capital in hand and a great deal of energy awaiting an outlet. A friend told him that many lives were last each year because sick or injured people often could not be X-rayed owing to the Impossibility of transporting them over long distances to hospitals where X-ray appliances were avail able.
Mr. Wilson set to work, develop- ed his portable apparatus, formed a company at Chiswick, which he called the Portable X-ray Com- pany, and organised a fleet of X- ray motor vans,
Now he is making good profita and, at the same time, has the great" satisfaction of knowing that his invention is saving many Lives..
TYPICAL CASES
Recently, for example, Mr. Wilson received an emergency call from a town 15 miles from London. A man had been gravely injured and had suffered a series of complicated "fractures...
It was Impossible to move him to hospital for X-raying, yet if his life was to be saved it WILA essential that X-ray pictures should be taken immediately.
The call came a little before midnight. Half-an-hour later, Mr. Wilson had his apparatus at the house where the man lay, Current, was generated by a dyniamo in thề car, eight photographs were taken, developed "in the mobile laboratory and handed to the doctors, who were waiting to set the bones, by 5
Bk.m.
Another call recently enabled Mr. wilson to save the life of a mental patient who had swallowed a long bath chain. Photographs were taken at the mental hospital, and within two hours the surgeons had operated and successfully removed the chala.
