Another deputy alleged the Govern- ment had suppressed the Royalist leagues yet authorised the illegal demonstrations of the Popular Front.
M. Sarraut replied that the de- monstrations, were authorised owing to the recent attack of M. Leon Blum, the Socialist leader, which was the outcome of a violent and prolonged

CATHEDRAL ORGAN
REPORT ON INSTRUMENT DESCRIBES DEFECTS
Congratulations are due to the Hongkong Singers and ali concerned on the performance of "The Messiah” at St. Jolin's Cathedral.
There must bo in Hongkong many former members of the Royal Choral and other London Societies and Choirs to whom the wonderful choruses and Rolos brought the happlest recollec- tions.
But specially are congratulations due to Mr. Lindsay A. Lafford for his handling of the organ, and only those behind the scenes or on the organ seat can know what this means.
Anyone who attended the recent Memorini Service will remember that some of the most beautiful passages of the Funeral Marches were marred by the false action of the instrument and It is a fact that owing to the condition of the organ the whole service was at one moment perilously near a break- down. This would indeed have beoen a catastrophe.
In these days of depression and of numerous appeals it would not to opportuno to launch yet another, but there can be little harm in placing the facts before the public of Hong- kong and with the permission of the Cathedral authorities the following report on the organ is published for general Information in the hope that it may induco some generous donors and music lovers to come to the rescue:
"The exlating action consisting of considerable lengths of pneumatic tubing, delicate leather and rubber membranes, is entirely at the mercy of the climato and any sudden varia- tion in humidity or temperaturo render_the_organ_virtually unplay-. able Even if the blower la successfully started (which is always problematic) It is frequently impossible to use more than one third of the total 'organ, and considerable anxiety is caused by notes, which, sounding on their own, refuse to stop.

St. John's Cathedral, besides being centre of worship of a large section of the community, is an essen tial feature of the corporate life of Hongkong, and every citizen should have as much call to be proud of it as of the other features, both natural and architectural, which make Hong- kong one of the most important cities in the Empire if not in the world.
