Faced with the heavy task of making 259 runs in the fourth innings to win, Shanghai showed every disposition to put up a keen fight in the Interport cricket match this morning, the tiffin interval being taken with 112 on the board for the loss of three wickets. Two of them fell before 25 runs showed. and afterwards there were good partnerships between Stokes and Madar and Stokes and Leach.
+
Madar and Stokes put on 49 runs in 50 minutes for the third wicket, the former getting 25 by an enterprising display after a shaky start. Leach and Stokes put on 39 for the fourth and were unseparated.
The hero of the hour is L. F. Stokes, who went in first wicket and has made 51 (not out). The manner of his play is shown by the fact that 26 of his runs came from singles, though this may also be taken as some indication of the tight ness of Malaya in the field.
Hopkins took the first two wickets. He has been bowling extremely well, "only seventeen runs accruing from him up to the tiffin interval, when Shanghai were still,147 runs in arrears with seven wickets. to fall.

Promise To Chamber.
The Ministerial Declaration of foreign policy was read to Parlia ment. It lays down certain prin- ciples and gives a definite promise that nothing shall be concluded without Parliamentary ratification.
Nothing will be submitted to Parliament capable of diminishing French moral or political indepen- dence.
France's efforts in the interna- tional sphere will be aimed at heal- ing past irritations, the reinforce- ment of peace and the development of understanding between the peo- ples of the world.
The debate in the House of Commons on India' was opened by Mr. Baldwin with an illusion to the Daily Mail episode in which he disclosed that he agreed to the publication of the Viceroy's proclamation, provided the Simon Commission con- curred. When the latter dissented, he withdrew his agreement with the concurrence of his colleagues.
Mr. Baldwin emphasised that all parties agreed that the pledge to grant India a responsible Government should be honoured. They could not hope to live to see the ideal solving of the Indian problem realised but would work in faith.
Mr. Lloyd George declared that the Viceroy's declaration. created an impression, of a change of policy far beyond the previous pledge.

Captain Wedgewood Benn said the only change there had been was in the sense of a new spirit. The Montague policy stood as the cardinal article of faith in the British policy towards India and Indians would now have an opportunity of expressing their views and proposing solutions at a stage when everything they said will be heard in time.
