Surpassing the horrors which could be amassed by, it would geet, the most frenzied imagination was that scene re- ported by the Italian consul at Malaga.
On such respectable testimony we are told the revolting details of how two Spanish girls of 16 the nd 17 were outraged in 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 dance before the mob..

To the Editor of the "Telegraph"," Sir-May I be allowed to join issue once again with my un- known friend "Radio Fan No. 99." In letter to the Telegraph

In years gone by, like a good many other humble musicians, I was a. member of the Philharmonie Society simply because there was nothing else to juin. 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- mained 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 which it was tackled, riade me at sung, to say nothing of the way in once a firm supporter. Then again one felt that of the same time one wus helping various charities in quite a substantial way,

A criticism which is all-important and which Radio Fan No. 99 does not. include is the appointment of a good elli-lent Secretary-Announcer. Such a man is urgently wanted to take charge one who should have suffi- clent local knowledge to search for Kood talent which at present does not ike the job of knocking at Z.B.W.'s dour, cap in hand, humbly asking for. a date. Such a man should not be hard to and.

Therefore British women, re- volted at the vile orgies of the Red beast rampant, warned of what the rule of this savagery— far more loathsome than that of .any drug-mad gangster-can mean, should impress their horror and detestation on the country.
When women resolve that u 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 sq supino where justice and humanity demand that it should speak.

Dully and heavily we gulp up the news. Our minds are overloaded by the coursing tragedies of the world, so numbed with the tale of distress that our reactions ure leaden.
Let the women, so often more vital, condemn this thing. Let us in Britain, who seem so suttled and comfortable now, socure ourselves Impregnably against the Insidious Red monaco.
