SUPPLY

ENOUGH FOR ANOTHER THREE MONTHS AT PRESENT RATION

A SATISFACTORY POSITION

The water return.issued by the P.W.D. on May 1 shows a total of 872 million gallons in the Feland Reservoirs and $35 million gallons in the Mainland Reservbira a total of 997 m.g. Last year the figures were: Island 710 m.g., Mainland 912 mg, a total of

939 m.g.

Consumption last month wie: Island 20 mg, Mainland 141 m.g., a total of 391 m.g.

During April there was a ten hours' supply daily, which has now been reduced to six hours daily. There is therefore about a three monthe supply, apart from the Shing Mun supply, and, provided enough rain falls this year to fill the reservoirs the water situation, thanks to an early imposition of very reason able restriction by the Government, is quite satisfactory despite the fact that the present rainfall is nine finches behind average.

The detailed figures are as follow

DEBATE IN WAH `YAN-

COLLEGE

A most interesting debate on War was held on Saturday last, May 6, in the College, Hall" of, Wah Yan College. The subject was worded thus; That War is an unwise and inefficient way of settling interna- tional disputes." A number of ex- collant speeches were delivered on either side, and the division at the end showed 'how evenly the house was divided.

...

The speakers on the Government side lafd emphasis on the waste ot warfare, on the famine and suffer- ing which it brings in ita wake, on the folly of fighting, as a means of deciding questions of right and wrong, and on the fact that war nover really settles any issue, but marely stores up vindictiveness and batred for future generations. For the opposition' the chief points made were, that this is not an ideal, but a very imperfect world, and that Fre-- quently the only course left to the nation on the defensive is to take up arms in her own defence; and and that war, terrible "though it be, brings out much that is fine in human character, heroism, loyalty, unselfishness.

"Some points from the speeches were:

"War brings desolation to fruit ful lands, it causes remorse and suffering even when carried on un' der the most favourable conditions. War means loan and waste. It seems to turn the tide of progress backwards, and undo the advance of

years. And the evils of war do not end with the war itself. In its aftermath come famine and unem ployment."

"Times of peace tend to ledd mea to sloth and indolence and selfish- ness, whereas war breeds a face of heroes. War may be a destroyer, but civilization has often followed in its wake."

"War is only adopted by unrea- sonable savages, to whom arbitra- tion is unknown. Two coolies" may settle their differences with knives; but that is hardly the method of Civilized and educated gentlemen."

Is anything better than war for its purpose! Has peace, can peace ever settle international disputes

"Would you have a small brother fight his big brother for his fair share of cakes!"

"War teaches people to be cruel, selfish and callons, instead of pre- ducing heroism and unssifichriese. The stronger alwaye wins; hence war is entirely futile as a means of deciding questions of right and justice. Further, the defeated coun-- try is never at rest, till abe ob tain her revenge. Countries have learned enmities through war, and these enmities has lasted from gen. eration to generation; of, France and Germany, Japan and China.

The great men of all ages have been anti-war. The reason is bei cause its effects are not lasting; it effecte a temporary, and frequently unjust peace, but leaves, the com- batants crippled for generations. and in the hearts of their citizens hafred and revenge."

The division at the end resulted in 16 votes for the Government, and 15 for the Opposition. The motion: was left undecided.
