With genuine Trade Unionism, no-one can quarrel. It has func tions which it can usefully perform and which in these days need to be discharged. When, however, the Unions are made the instruments of Communism and other subversive movements, it is essential that their power and influence should be curb ed. Here in Hongkong, we have had plenty of examples of the abuse of the Trade Union movement, but happily, the workers themselves aro beginning to realise that all too

QUASIMODO?
On Quasimodo Sunday, five hundred or so years ago, Claude - Frollo, an archdeacon of Notre- Dame de Parla found a little misshapen bundle of humanity within the precincts of the cathedral. He named it Quasi- modo, and took it into his care. Quasimodo grew. up-hunch- backed and bow-legged, as ugly. as the gargoyles that leer from the parapets of Notre-Dame- with a mind na twisted and warped as his poor frame. He did learn, however, to ring the great bells of Notre Dame and the belfry chamber was, his favourite lair, whither he would retire from the cruel world "that mocked him whenever, he showed his face.
