Appellant submitted then that respondent firm had no right to the fim as an adverse claim of the copyright of the film had been claimed by a third party, who had threatened appellant with legal "action should the film be exhibited.
Yesterday Mr. Macnamara sub- mitted that it was the duty of respondent firm to pass informa- tion that a third party had made an adverse claim on the film. Counsel added that the adverse claim was of so serious a nature that the disclosure would have practically prevented the film from being ex hibited.
Mr. King, Secretary-General of the Sydney Labour Council, presided, and, in presenting the ambulance to Dr. Pao, sald that the ambulance was but one of the practical gestures of the Australian people's sym- pathy towards China and that he hoped that collective effec tive measures, would be soon adopted by the whole world to check the aggression of Japan which is recognized by the League of Nations as a menace of the world.
