MR. MALCOLM MACDONALD, NEWLY APPOINTED BRITISH HIGH COMMISSIONER IN CAN- ADA, RECENTLY SPENT A DAY WITH THE CANADIAN CORPS IN ENGLAND AND LATER EX- PRESSED HIGH APPRECIATION OF THEIR FINE ORGANISA¬ ́

AN APPEAL BY 21 Chinese seamen against con- victions imposed by a London police court for dis- TION. obeying a lawful command, was heard at the Lon- don Sessions Appeals Committee yesterday.

The appeal of 10 men who had been sentenced to six months' hard labour was allowed and the appeals of the other 11 men, who had been bound over for 12 months, were dismissed.

Counsel for respondents said that when the seamen arrived in port it wes suggested to them that they were being unfairly treated because they were not getting the £5 a month War bonus that white sailors were get- ting for voyaging in dangerous

waters.

They were not satisfied with 3 a month and refused to work in shifts, with the rescit that the ship wHS not turned round in the snortest possible tímc and the whole

convoy system was dislocated.
