MYTH OF WHITE

Commons
Discusses Racial
Relations
London, May 6.-Mr Thomas Driberg, Labour Member of Parliament, initiating à House of Commons debate on the Common-. wealth and racial relations today,, said the attitude known as "white supremacy" was a myth.
The debate was on a motion for the adjournment-when normal Parliamentary business had finished for the day and when any private Member may start a short debate,
Mr Driberg said that the recent success in the Commonwealth Conference proved that there was a real potency in the idea and prac- tice of treating peoples as equals and partners. The idea of supremacy was clearly con- trary not only to Christianity but to everything which anybody can possibly

Diplomacy Plus Armed Strength

Honge of Thursday's debate in the Commons will come as a reassurance: to the rest of Hongkong, who have never felt panicky about the possibilities, the Imperial Government's statement will serve to reinforce quiet confidence, Un- der other circumstances, the despatch of milliary, air force and naval reinforce- ments in the numbers outlined by Mr Alexander might be construed as provocative gesture. But the times and the conditions are not normal and Hong- kong is entitled to special protection of interestx and commercial activities which not only benefit the Colony, but its neighbours. The House of Commons debate, as reported by the news agency, disclosed 0 coul appraisal of...the situation on the part of the Government, while some of the Opposition were inclined to be emotional, rather,

"Real defence of Hongkong," he said depends not so much upon brigades, but on mobilisation of our diplomatic and stralegle resources and bringing the nations in the Far East- together in much the same way as the West." This, or certainly the first part of the declaration, is pertinent. Hong. kong is not looking for a shooting war: It is the last thing it desires.

But the future of Hongkong can still be assured through diplomacy and strategy, and it is these lines which the Imperial Govern- ment must work with a will, irrespective of any implementation of armed forces In the Colony. We welcome, whale. heartedly, the announcement that our milltary, air (especially air) and naval' forces are to be increased, because this is an outward and unmistakably visible sign that, come what may, Hongkong is to remain British. It is a warning. to those who may think that the Elon has bo developed a kitten's tail, easily to twisted. The decision of the Imperial Gov- ernment to send reinforcements to Hong- kong cannot be misunderstood. It is strict- ly, and rightly, defensive: It is well justi ded by the events of the day. And If It is interpreted oright, there need be great dificulty, in due course, of putting into effect Mr Butler's proposition that diplomacy be used to assure the futuro of Hongkong. In fact, the diplomatic angle is of the same importance. a8 action: security obtained by armed perhaps more so, because the one should precede the other, and certainly, the last thing Hongkong, with its peaceful inten- tions, desires is to bo placed in a position where it is forced to defend itself from military aggression.
