THE BOMBER FUND
A bishop in India recently. aroused some resentment, and also some acquiescence, by a ser- ' mon which mildly castigated white people in India for lavish expenditure on entertainment and living during the winter months while Britain was under- going her worst orden!. Yester day the news was published of 1.000 deaths and many more casualties in the Merseyside and Clyde areas as a result of two nights'bombing.
A month ago one million oid dollars were poured into the Rooty Hill Derby sweepstake. To date the number of tickets sold in the Bomber Fund raffle, while good, is not worthy of Hongkong when one remembers the cause at stake, and in view of the splendid lead given by so many firms in offering nearly $50,000 worth of prizes.
Able as Hongkong is to-day to pursue its sporting activities, evening amusements and unra- tioned meals with comparatively negligible inconvenience, it is conceivable that the Colony falls to appreciate the extent of the sacrifices needed now, and which It should certain- are to come.

It is obvious now that the war will be long and arduous, calling for careful planning by the Ad- ministration and loyal co-opera- tion by all individuals. Tighten- ing our belts in Hongkong while our larders are full is not only a wise precaution, but an act of grace which recognises that the Battle of Britain is not merely a task for those in the front lines at Home, but has its need of Hongkong's loyal and gener- ous participation.
But since we cannot share the front line trenches, let us give until thurts. Which brings us
