On such respectable testimony we are told the revolting details of how two Spanish girls of 16 nd 17 were outraged in the street by Reds while the father was tied to a tree. Afterwards, it is related, father and daughters were saturated with petrol and burned to death..
There is, too, among the ac- counts which stagger the mind with their cruelty and profusion the grim statement of the man from Valencia that nuns from a convent were driven into the street, stripped naked, and com- pelled to dunce before the mob.

When the beast roams his terror is spread over land, when morality is abrogated and atrocities vie with one an- other, it is the women who are imperilled most.
Not only are they forced to look on the agonies of their loved ones. They, too, must pay the price, it seems, the excess payment of all this.
Lel British women, by the grace of Heaven so favoured, ponder on all this. It may be the task of women to save civilisation from the Red terror, from the regimentation of bodies and the killing of souls.
British men and women, by centuries of humano progress, have brought our communal life to a state in which the weak are ecoured, the oppressed pro-

because there was nothing else to join. A friend took me to one of the early rehearsals of the newly- formed Hongkong Singers and I soon found the difference and I have re- muined with them completely satis- fied ever since. Everybody seemed working (and Jolly hard too!) for the common good; there was an absence of bad feeling and the type of music sung, to any nothing of the way in which it was tackled, made me at once a firm supporter. Then again one felt that at the same time one was helping various charities in quite a substantial way,

A criticism which is all-important and which Radio Fan No. 00 does not include is the appointment of a good efficient Secretary-Announcer. Such a man is urgently wanted to take charge one who should have suff- cient local knowledge to search for good talent which at présent does not like the job of knocking at Z.B.W.' door, cap in hand, humbly asking for a date. Such a man should not be hard to find.
The present Secretary could dis- charge the routine duties of typing and answering letters. To my mind this is the solution of the present un- satisfactory state of affaire, and many others think the same.

Therefore British women, re- yolted at the vile orgins of the Red beast rampant, warned of what the rule of this savagery———— for more loathsome than that of any drug-mad gangster-can mean, should impress their horror and detestation on the country.
When women resolve that a situation must be tackled, their energy and advocacy frequently exceed those of men.
In this country women can raise their voices, and have. often done so to some purpose, Britain is frequently criticised. nowadays because it is so supine where, justice and humanity demand that it should speak.
Dully and heavily we gulp up the news. Our minds are 80 overloaded by the coursing tragedies of the world, 80 numbed with the tale of distress that our reactions are leaden.

Let the women, so often more vital, condemn this thing. Let us in Britain, who seem Bottled and comfortable now, secure ourselves impregnably. against the Insidious Red
monace.
