HONG KONG,

MR. J. H. WHEATLEY AND THE KING.

NEVER REFUSED TO HONOUR TOAST.

QUESTIONS ABOUT

REVOLUTION.

There were very interesting passages when Mr. John Wheatley, M.P.. Minister of Health in the Socialist Government, was cross- examined at the Court of Session, Edinburgh, during the bearing of his action for damages for alleged

libel.

The defendants, against each of whom he claims 28,000, are Mr. John Maurice Baid Miller, Conser vative candidate in Mr. Wheatley's

division, and Mr. Alexander B.

Anderson, prister and publisher of the Eastern Argus and the Glasgow East End Advertiser.

The question is whether a letter published from Mr. Miller falsely and calumniously represented that Mr. Wheatley was dishonourable and that he had no regard for the sanctity of the oath.

Mr. AM. Mackay, E.C., for Mr. Miller, read over the oath taken by Mr. Wheatley as a Privy Comaillor and as, a magistrate, and asked: Would you say that A man who advocated · revolution with violence"and bloodshed would be unfaithful to that oath 1 Mr. Wheatley: I would.'

At the time of the Russian re- volution did you not uphold re- volution and approve its methods i -I did not approve its methods.

Was the Russian revolution ac- companied by violence and blood- shed It probably was.

Did you ever use the following language: That you were delight- ed at the action which Russia had. taken and you, hoped to see the Extreets of this great + Berpire Home wing with blood

Revolution a Practical Policy, At a meeting in London Mr. Wheatley was reported to have said that he was not sure that be was not more revolutionary at that time, when "he was Minister of Health, than three years previous- ly; for all his experience had been that if the capitalist order of society was not quickly overthrown they would overthrow them, the Socialist Government. He hoped he was hastening the day when re volution would be a practical policy."

But there are indications that the lesson has been learned. Mr. W. A. Appleten, secretary of the General Federation af Trade Uniont, said to a Daily Mait reporter:
