He said: "Our candid position is that we are prepared to meet the war bill in full, honestly and to whatever extent is demanded. However, wo would infinitely pre- fer a single seitlement."

FORMER HONGKONG DEAN CONDEMNS STATE LOTTERIES
Once gambling had official sanction, it was' easier for the weak to stumble and fall, and the law came into some degree of contempt, said the Bishop of Singapore, the Rt. Rev. J. L. Wilson, in an address`. to Singapore Rotarians on the introduction of state- lotteries.
+
The Bishop, who is a former Dean of St. John's Cathedral, said he granted that there was no doubt that lotteries were efficient means of collecting large sums of money and did provide countless dull lives with interest and excitement.
He added, however that he believed the harm they did outweighed their good. . "Such good as they do can be done nearly as welt by means which are, not merely free of the evils of the lottery but are of their own nature good and productive of post- tive benent, additional to the cash beneft coming to the interested charity," said the Bishop.
"Thirdly, the lottery method, is lazy; it shirks the labour of pressing upon the people their responsibility and encourages them to leave ell the work to someone else,
"The proposal combines several bad things; it acquiesces in a low "The ease for state lotteries rests standard of pubilc conscience and on little if anything more than this; thereby confirms it; it harms spiri that people will gamble anyway, so tually the people who participate in funt, and it shifts still further the work they may as well have their and benefit the sick as henefit book of making a good state from the makers: that even if it is allowed will of the people who comprise it. that lotteries are bad things they are necessary, because dangerous diseases require despernie remedies.
