Another incident occurred at. the back of 9, Magazine Gap Read, occupied by Mr. A. Stokkink. The landslide damaged the water-pipes in this locality and the house was fooded. This necessitated the in- mates evacuating the house.

Conditions Compared. Speaking on unemployment, he said that some people thought that things were worse now than they were when the Labour movement started.

"I do not subscribe to that view," he said. I maitnain that the Socialist movement during its very short period of life has made a tremendous differenes to- the lives of the ordinary people of this coun- try. I know that the struggle of individual men and women to get on with business or to get out of the ordinary rut is a harder one, perhaps, than previously; but take my own district of Poplar, and however one may test it from the point of view of the people or their demeanour, or the condition of the children or their homes there is no comparison from the point of view of dire poverty with thirty years ago. It is not because in dividuals as such have become richer, although a large number of them from the point of view of material wealth, but they are better off because of the Socialist activity of the members of the Socialist movement in putting Socialist prin- ciples into operation.""

It was not a miracle in the House of Commors that they want- ed to-day but a miracle within themselves. The difficulty they were all in and they found it with unemployment was that none of them wanted to go on the land or to the Dominions, and if they had had a year or two of doing nothing they became so accustomed to a life of this kind that they had not much fight left in them for different kinds of conditions.

He thought the Socialist move- ment ought to get down to educa tinual propaganda, in order to teach the people that if anyone had to be maintained it inust be the people at the extreme end, the aged, the infirm, and the disabled. He thought it was one of the most, terrible tragedies that young men and young women thould be ablet for years of their growing lives to live on a sort of public allowance.

TILDEN COMING HERE?

MAY VISIT FAR EAST

In spite of the fact that a state- ment, was made sometime ago to the effect that Bill Tilden was definitely not coming to Hong Kong, there now scems a possibility of local tennis fans being able to see the Ace of the Courts" in action, as the latest news is to the effect that Tilden is to pay a visit to the Far East, and that he may make a brief stay here.

The local Association, intends to invite Tilden to give exhibitions should his projected visit to the Colony materialise, and they are maintaining constant communica tion with the Japaneso LTA, as to Tilden's intentions and triange ments regarding the tour.

CHINESE ACCOUNTANT

MISSING.

ALLEGED TO HAVE GONE

AWLY WITH $6,540.

Yau Ts uYuen, an accountant employed by the Kwong Lee Yuen import and export firm, sa, Con- naught Read Central, is alleged to have absconded with a sum of $6,340 belonging to his employers. Includ- ed in this amount were 60 sover- cigns, the balance being in local bank notes.

Investigations made by the firm as soon as-the loss was discovered point to the belief that the account- ant had succeeded in getting away to Shanghai by the s.s. Asama Maru, which left yesterday.

Fruit Merchant's Loss. Another report made to the police concerns the loss of $3,450 by the Wo" Chuen Sing preserved fruit shop at 47, Queen's Road West. It is stated that a duplicate key had been used in extracting the money from a drawer in tac counter. In this case some em- ployees of the shop are suspected.
