Justice I. R. Wood, in the Summary Before the Puine Judge Mr. Court this morning, Mr. C. H. Lyson appeared for Choy To Sien, in a suit against Mr. W. J. Singer, for rent and possession.

agreement subject to the provisions of Article 22 of the Covenant of the League of Nations. Sir J. Rees asked if it were seriously contended that when a mandate was granted to a great nation for the administration of territory it must come to the Corncil of the League for approval for any action taken. Mr. Leslie Wilson, who is, in charge of the Bill disagreed with the amendment and said that if the Government accepted it, acceptance would involve an admission that the agreement did not accord with the Treaty. The agreement was signed by the Premiers of Britain, Australia and New Zealand and the Treaty of Peace bore the same signatures. To accept. such an amendment would suggest that those gentlemen were not prepared to carry out the Peace Treaty. The amendment was unnecessary. A long discussion followed and on the division the amendment was carried by 16 votes to 15.

SEVEN CIRCLES OF HELL.

MASSACRES IN UKRAINE DENOUNCED,

"NEBUCHADNEZZARA NOBLEMAN,“

LONDON, July 7.

The World Zionist Conference has opened in London, 250 delegates being present. The principal subjects for discussion will be the colonisation of Palestine and the rapid organisation of immigration. The Chairman, Mr. Sokolow, speaking in Hebrew, declared that the Jews had regained a place among the nations of the world. Millions in eastern Europe had been facing death in the seven circles of Hell. For the many massacres in Ukraine not Heaven or the mercy of the Angels could find palliation. Nebuchadnezzar was a nobleman compared with these murderers. The audience rose solemanly to its feet, thus impressively endorsing the Chair-

man's views.

EXTRAORDINARY ENTHUSIASM.

Mr. Ussishkin, the Vice-President of the Zionist Commission, said that there were at least 30,000 Jews who must be settled in Palestine every year for the next few years, and £4,000,000 was required the first few years for Iand purchase, immigration, and cultural and public works.

Amid extraordinary enthusiasm, President Brandreis of the United States was elected President of the conference and Dr. Max Nordau Vice- Fresident.
