RIGA, Latvia. Because Stalin, the virtual Dicta- tor of Russia, has refused to open the coffers of the Bolshevist treasury to supply delegates to the Com- munist International Congress with large funds for secret revolutionary activities abroad, there is dissatis. faction among the high-grade Com- munist agitators who are at prescat attending the congress in Moscow.

Some delegates even complain that while their railway fares were paid to Moscow, they were expected to pay their own fares back. In the lobbies of the congress the chief theme of discussion is bow nan -world révolution be arranged with-

Stalin's instructions to the con- ference that further subsidies would not be forthcoming innless the mem- bers could produce revolutionary crisis is causing much bitterness. His action in putting the world re- volution apon & self-supporting basis is due to the decrease of revolu tionary propaganda during the past two years.

Since the expulsion of Zinovief as leader of the Communist Inter- national this institution has been feeling the pangs of poverty, prac- tieally all its resources being ex- pended in enlarging the staff of agitators in such countries as India and Chins,

ENGLAND'S EASY WIN.

(THROUGH REUTEM'S AGENCY.]

THE HONG KONG DAILY PRESS, WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 15th, 1928.

LONDON, Aug. 13th. England was in a very strong position as the result of two days" play in the last Test Match, as the West Indies were 139 runs behind with & wickets to fall in their

econd innings.

In reply to a score of 939, Eng- and had made 155 for one wicket on Saturday Sutcliffe had been dismissed for 63, and Hobba was 89 not out. On Monday Eebba raised his sears to 159 before losing his wicket, while other leading scores were Ernest Tyldesley 73 and Tate

The innings closed for 438 Griffith with 6 for 103 and Francis (4 for 112) shared the wickete.

The West Indies, faced with the task of making 200 to avoid the innings defeat, started disastrously. and had lost 4 wickets for 61 at close of play.

THE SECOND TEST MATCH.

ONE-SIDED GAME.

MODERATE QUALITY

Presently the game brightened. Jardine began to play beautiful cricket of the behind-the-wicket type: He deflected rather than hit. But just when he seemed set. for a century he was run out through no fault of his own.

Insurance Scheme,

To help persons of moderate meani to pay for beds the commit tee advises the introduction, of a mutual, insurance scheme, whereby subscribers would be entitled to agreed dis in respect of modified medical and surgical fees, and the cost of a pay bed.

The committes recommends that voluntary hospitals should add pay beds for the middle classes by means of fresh accommodation and not by using the beds dow occupied by the sick poor.

Regarding pay-bed accommoda tion for the well-to-do the commit tea states:

In view of the dificulty of ob ta ng full hospital facilities except at beds connected with" hospitals this might well be pro- vided on a limited scale by voluntary hospitals, provided that the accommodation is not required for ordinary patients or cannot be maintained for them that priority is given to provision for those of moderate means; and that the charges to the well-to-do are sufficient to cover the whole cast of the beds provided for them, including rent and interest on capital, and to yield a profit available for other purposes of the hospital.:
