A Communist Deputy, M. Deriot, said that to attribute the revole to the mysterious hand of Moscow was too convenient a way of evading responsibility..

"I was in bed when I heard the sound of shouting," Mr. Fein said,

and also the noise of someone hammering on the windows, of a house. I jumped out of bed and went on the verandah to see what the matter was. For a time I could' see nothing, but soon the shouting made me look more closely at the windows of Mr. Goddard's bed

After H. Herriot had spoken in favour of M. Daladier's resolution, M. Tardicu wound up the debate by opposing the resolution and making the question one of confidence room. Dalndier's resolution was rejected

A 75-year old Chinese with two horns on his head was recently dis- covered and engaged by a Japanese circus as a showman in Osaki, says the Eastern Times.

I am bleeding to death. Oh, my hand and arm. I saw him leave the window and run on to a small small verandah over an alleyway. beside 859, North Szechuen Road. He hung over the railing there. Blood was flowing from his arm and shoulder in a small torrent.

"He was obviously in such pain that we did not put any more ques tions. But a search of the premises, just before we found the coolie, showed that Mr. Goddard had tried to go downstairs to open the street door. There were pools of blood on the stairs and the bannisters showed that he had stumbled for short distance. The walls near the staircase looked as if they had been sprayed with a hose full of blood.

"He evidently realized that he was too weak to go as far as the street-door. The trail of blood showed that he had staggered into the kitchen, where we found him.

"The doors of Mr. Goddard's bedroom were locked, but the other doors leading to the kitchen, where the coolie slept, and to the base- ment, where the coolie was found hiding, were wide open, as if some- one had made a burried exit. There is a fire-escape at the rear of the house leading the basement, and the coolie evidently escaped to the basement that way."

THE MUI TSAI" PROBLEM.

COMMENT IN ENGLAND.

Mr. John H. Harris, Parliamen- tary Secretary to the Anti-Slavery and Aborigines Protection Society, writes to the Manchester Guardian quoting reports of mui tad cases from recent police court proceedings in Hong Kong, which he describes as disclosing a revolting state of affairs. He says:It seems, naw to be accepted by most observers that the Government is right in its contention that the total aboli.

tion in Hong Kong will be impos sible so long as. glave-owning and slave-trading are practised on such a wide scale in China: But the ae- cumulation of evidence shatters the second and third parts of the official contention, that the mu sai are well treated and that the system does not lead to the brothels'; i certainly does both."

Lord Passfield has promised to produced at an early date the White Paper dealing with the mui trai question. This report, Mr. Harris adds, will surely be incom plete unless it includes an account of registration to date, and also the principal revelations made in the Courts of Hong Kong during recent months.
