B.F.R.D.C. APPEAL

Sir, The Board of the British Fund for Relief of Distress in China Hong Kong and South China Branch desires to express publicly its sense of appreciation and gratitude to Messrs. Percy Smith, Seth and Fleming for having undertaken the audit of the accounts of the Fund entirely free of charge.

This Fund was launched in Novem- ber, 1938.

His bail of $25 was ordered to be estreated.

Inspector C. Baysting stated that Symons was brought to Gough Hill Station yesterday.

The inspector attempted to pacify him for about 20 minutes but was un- successful. Symons-refused to reply when asked his name and, it was al- leged, attempted to strike the inspector with his fists.

Symons resides at No. 54, The Peak and comes from South Africa,

NEW USE FOR FUND

According to the audited accounts In respect of the period 1st November, 1938 to 30th June, 1939, the amount. expended m actual relief during the period amounted to $316,933.62 and according to the latest accounts the amount expended for actual relief for the second half year of 1939 amounts to $126,728.56, making a grand totalSeptember for the erection in Lisbon of expenditure for relief from the commencement of the Fund in Nov- ember 1938, to the end of 1939, of $443,662.18.

If the Fund were to attempt to undertake relief work on a scale ap- proximating that of 1939 the amount required for 1940 would be roughly $400,000.00, of which, as the audited accounts show, the amount in hand is roughly only $59,407.97.-

In view of the smallness of the amount in hand, and of the large amount required for relief, the Board. of Administrators has very seriously considered whether they should not close the Fund.

But realising the widespread dis- tress prevailing in South China, in- cluding Hong Kong," the Board - feels that in spite of the numerous other calls on the public of Hong Kong, - they would not want, this Tund to be bort view closed for want” at
