TRUCE TALKS HANGING

IN BALANCE

UN May Concede Kaesong Issue

Munsan, Nov. 2.

Truce talks in Korea hung in the balance to- day but there was mounting indication that the United Nations may back down on the Kaesong issue. Kaesong is the key to the Korean truce line.

The Joint Truce Committee will meet for the 10th day since the resumption of the talks at 11 a.m. on Saturday in an effort to solve the Kaesong issue-major barrier to a quick agreement on the armistice line.

MANY EGYPTIAN WORKERS DESERTING JOBS

Fayid, Nov. 2.

Royal Air Force spotter planes are keeping watch over the zone by day while at night British troops guard strategic points and secret scien- tific devices against possible armed intruders.

The British forces, now including seasoned troops who fought Jewish terrorists in Palestine, are ready for anything.

The blackout on news of Egyptian workers deserting jobs with the British authorities has continued, but there were many indications today that the degree of defection was considerable.

Many officers had to make their own beds and in many messes a "serve yourself" system was introduced.

Egyptians, yielding to threats and intimidation ments, were pulling out in large numberă,

not to view with alarm the fact that there were 54,000 cases of juvenile delinquents last year. Nevertheless,

calls the figure hardly

for placency. The compelling and dan- gerous aspect of juvenile delinquency is that unless its incidence can be firm- ly controlled and gradually reduced, an increasing number of youthful mis- creants evolve into adult criminals. This, to some extent, explains the swelling number of men and women who have to be sent to our prisons. Whether or not the number of juvenile offenders can be considered alarming in their proportion to the Colony's total population, there is no denying they represent a serious social problem. The natural question is whether Government is doing all, or anything like it should, to eradicate juvenile delinquency. While It is true that probationary schools exist, and while Government offers moral and some practical support to the Boya' and Girls' Clubs, official policy does not appear to be vigorously directed toward prevention of juvenile delinquency. Police officers and magistrates are con- fronted with a distasteful task. The wayward, youngsters have to be dealt with according to the law, but facilities for following up correction with a curative treatment are pitifully inade quate. Social and religious organla tlons do their best, but the "problem" has reached proportions beyond them to resolve. Moreover, the situation la aggravated by the fact that most of the young offenders are victims of their environment and upbringing. Base history in abundance is available

to show that many children in Hong- kong are driven to thieving, illegal hawking, and a host of other petty offences by Jawless parents and guardians. Their chances of permanent escape from these injurious influences and environment are negligible. Mr Peterson declares that schooling is not enough, and all who have any appre- ciation of the problem will agree with him. These children require "proper homes where they come under the correct sort of persuasive influence; somewhere where they can be socially as well as scholastically educated. The challenge confronts the community as much as it does Government, Juvenile delinquency is not yet out of hand, but it could easily become so with the existing inadequate means of combat- ting it at source. Government could and must do more in acknowledging its prime responsibility for, dealing with juvenile delinquency, for the persistent presence in increasing numbers of these youthful delinquents is a grow- ing menace to the social and legal fabric of the Colony. Two propositions advance themselves: either the provi sion of more Government-controlled homes, run on enlightened lines for these unfortunate children, or more gonerous official financial support for voluntary organisations and institu tions which are today doing their utmost to tackle the problem. The whole question, it is readily admitted, is difficult and complex, but it in fust these factors which make it essential that the problenr be tackled intelligent ly, generously, and with vision, even if this means slightly straining the 'Colony's financés,
