HIS "ELEVEN POINTS."

Karachi, Yesterday.

A storm of noisy enthusiasm resounded throughout the town at midnight, denoting the ter- mination of Congress, whose final act was the unanimous adoption of a resolution consisting of an elaboration of Gandhi's famous "eleven points," forming the offi- cial definition of "Purna Swaraj," demanding an Indian native Gov- ernment endowed with various fudamental rights; laying down a catalogue of detailed provisions, including the abolition of the salt duty,; a new exchange and cur- rency policy; the reduction of military expenditure by at least half; the fixation of a wage for industrial workers; the protec- tion of Indian cloth by the exclu- sion of foreign yarn; total pro- hibition, and the limitation, of Civil Servants' salaries to £460,

"Under the Swaraj," declared Gandhi, "even the Viceroy will not be paid more than 500 month- ly."

He added that the foregoing would represent Congress de- mands at the resumed Round Table Conference.

The final session was protract ed by the President's ruling that no decision should be reached

until the return of Hindus and Moslems, who were temporarily absent praying.

Moslems Murdered.

THE GREAT EASTERN.

Historic Journey Of Famour Ship.

On January 27, 1870, the famous

Great Eastern arrived at Bombay with the cable which was to be laid between that port and Suez, and which was more needed than ever by the shipping world since the opening of the canal.

The Telegraph Construction and Maintenance Company chartered her, painted her white for the 'ser- vice, and sat her out from Port- iland loaded down with 10,500 tons of coal, 5,400 tons of cable, and necessary gear,

It was a particularly interesting job for the old ship, for she was originally designed to run in the Indian Ocean trade, preferably to

QUARRY BAY

SCHOOL.

Annual Festival of Spring.

PRETTY LITTLE FUNCTION.

Little Miss Gwenyth Waldron was Queen of the Spring Festival held in the Quarry Bay School this morning. A daintily-draped throne

had been erected for her in the

grounds, and lade and lasses, some of very tender years, revelled round the Maypole in her honour.

The spirit of Spring was in the

air, and the villagers, bedecked in holiday garb, improved the shining hour with folk songs, after their dance. They eang "Billy Boy," "A Farmer's Son So Sweet," and the ballad of the coy maiden who knew no other answer but "O! No John " @

Moro dances followed, after which the children's band enter- tained with Schubert's Marche Militaire, Beethoven's Gavotte in B Minor, and the Moment Musicale, (Schubert).

Hancock's "May Time" closed the programme. "Blossom on the hedgerows, Sunshine on the hilla

And old King Sol,

conscious of his duty, spread sun- shine on the hills over Quarry Bay, where the children sang their light- hearted song of, Spring.

Lady Peel was an interested spec-| tator, and amongst those present were Mrs. A. H. Walker the Hon. Dr. S. W. T'so, Mr. and Mrs. G. P. de Martin, Mr. A. O. Brawn, and Mr. A. R. H. Phillips (manager_of the Taikoo Sugar Refining Co., Ltd.).

"INFANT MORTALITY*

IN HONG KONG. ·

More Suitable for a Grand Guignol.

1,724 BODIES IN 1929.

London, Yesterday. In the House of Commons to- day, to a question which another member suggested was "more suitable for the Grand Guignol} Theatre than the Commons," Dr. Drummond Shiels, of the India Office, said that 956 male and 768 female children, aged three or under, were found dead in the streets of Hong Kong in 1929.---- Router.

[Lord Passfield stated in the House of Commons recently that it was impossible to make a large population of Chinelo bury their dead children. The Government had been striving for years to pre- vent the practice. The finding of the corpses of infants in the streets of a big city was not un- common, and the number found in London was scmewhat con- siderable.]
