The girl was accordingly sent to hospital for examination, but

¡NEW REFUGEE

BODIES FORMED

The development of the war situa- tion in Hong Kong has made it neces- tion in China and the, Refugee situa-

sary, for the better carrying out of the two functions of the Hong Kong Em- ergency Refugee Council, to form two,

parallel organisations.

The first of these will be concerned." with the refugees and destitute people in Hong Kong.

The second will be concerned with. the relief of suffering in China itself.

At a meeting of the Emergency Re-- nofugee Council held last week it was

Inspector H. W. Fraser, of S.C.A., prosecuting, said that widow had been in Hong Kong forty years and the girl was pre- sented to her by the girl's mother in the Colony for $30 about four years ago. The girl had, according to the doctor, been fairly treated.

The widow was fined $5.

With regard to the first of these.. viz., the Hong Kong Committee, meeting has been convened of the or- ganisations represented on the Refu- gee Council to constitute the new Coun-- cil and to appoint its Executive.

With regard to the Foreign Auxil-- iary to the Red Cross, representatives- of different nationalities and of other societies engaged in similar work now in Hong Kong are being asked to meet. to form an Advisory Council and an Executive.

It should be made quite clear that the amount of service for the suffer- ing and distress done by the two new Committees will not be less than in the past. The hope is that it will be very much more.

Two advantages at least are secur- ed by this 'division: the destitute in Hong Kong are treated as a whole, whether they are refugees or not. Yuen Hei, 25, unemployed, was is hoped in this way that there may brought before Mr. T. J. Houston be greater fairness in the distribution
