U.S. ENTRY INTO WAR
Administration leaders in Washington belleve the next eight or ten weeks will tell whether the United States will be plunged Into actual warfare against the Axia because of President Roose- velt's unprecedented programme to "guarantee" a British victory." writes Everett Holles, in the Manila Bulletin.

"CREDITORS' CLAIMS MUST BE PROVED"
A judgment of considerable public Interest concerning the position of creditors who have not proved their claims in bank- ruptcy proceedings against a debtor was delivered by Mr. Justice Pedlow in the High Court in Singapore when his Lordship held that, in his opinion, the claims of creditors who had not prov- ed their claims could and should be ignored.
The question arose out of an ap Mr, T. L. Tan, Assistant Official plication by the Official Assignee Assignee, appeared on behalf of who asked for certain directions the Official Assignee while Mr. M. In a bankruptcy matter concern- C. Johannes represented the exe- ing the affairs of Tay Kim Soon [cutors of Tay Kim Soo (deceased). (deceased) whose estate realised more than sufficient to pay hig creditors in full.
The important point to be de- cided by the judge was whether, in determining the surplus" to which the bankrupt is entitled, provision is to be made for the creditors who have not proved and whose claims totalled about $450 and. If so, whether interest is to

After paying, in full, all his liabilities a sum of over $11,000 would be, available for the benefit of his widow and children,
"The whole idea underlying the Bankruptcy Ordinance seems to me,” declared his Lordship in a considered Judg- ment, "to be that, if the credi- tor neglects his statutory duty
to come and prove his claim, he has no claim in the bank- ruptcy.
"The Bankruptcy Ordinance is one which is to be administered with all reasonable speert and nowhere are the proceedings to be delayed for the sake of the cred!- tor who has not proved his debt, except a slight delay necessary to enable a creditor, who lives at a considerable distance to come and prove it" stated Mr. Justice Ped- low,
