“A RAW DEAL”

Sopwith's Technical

Mistake

(Special Air Mail Services ";

London, Sept, 28.

A storm has been created in American yachting circles by the decision of the America's Cup Race Committee disallow- ing the protest by Mr. Sopwith to Rainbow's win ön the

ground that the protest flag was not holsted in Endeavour at the right time.

In a letter to the Race Com- mittee after hearing the decision Mr. Sopwith wrote:

"I regret to note that your Committee refuses to hear Er-. deavour's protest of yesterday owing to my not having complied with a very trivial technical formality regarding the time, my protest flag was dying.”.

Mr. Sopwith said he would not appeal, and would race to-day, the sixth of the series.

ال

Endeavour and Rainbow have each won two races, and one was declared no contest.

The weather forecast for to- day le "unsettled; rain; moder- "ate north-easterly breez of 13 to 18 miles an hour." Endeavour is still favourite to win the Cup at odds of 6 to 5 on.

In its letter to Mr. Sopwith dis- allowing his appeal the Race Com mittee wrote:

"It appears from your letter that Endeavour's" protest ag was not displayed until about three hours after the occurrence of the Arst alleged foal- and nearly two hours after the de-

currence of the second alleged foul."

..

!

The committee added that oven under the most liberal interpreta- tion of the rule in question it had been infilnged by Mr. Sopwith.

"In these circumstance," it. went on, “alnice the protest was not properly submitted, the com- mittee has no power, to sustain It. While the first impression may be that the rule is purely technical and one which the race

committee must feel justified in disregarding, this is not in fact the case.

nearly 30 hours, was received with mixed feelings. Some were

for Sopwith, some were for Vanderbilt; others were for neither, but exfticised the act

ion of the committee.

In this respect one of the first to

comment on this was Bill Corun, of the New York Journal, His com-

ment was:

"Britannia rules the waves; the New York Yacht Club walves the rules."

earlier

A remark by the committee that had Sopwith displayed his flag Vanderbilt would have known he was protesting and could have done like-wise, is regarded as enigmatical and extraordinary, for nobody knows what he could have protested against.

Warning To The People

.

From Our Special Correspondent)

Canton, Oct. 16. "Beware of catch words and phrases." This was the warning of Mr. Chow Et member of the South-west Political Council, when he spoke before the weekly mem- orial service this morning.

Urging the people not to be misled by current political con- -ceptions, Mr. Chow cited the ex- ample of Japan. In spite of the fact that the word Manchuria was abolished by the Chinese Republië which renamed it as the Three North-eastern Provinces, Japan kept on calling it Manchuria ni order to impress upon the people there that it was a separate en- tity.

"Then after September 18, 1931, Japan glorifed Manchuria as Man choukuo. This was effected with listic opposition owing to the fact that the people of Manchurls were under the delusion that they were a atparate state:

Mr. Chow further cited the Bovlet examples. First the Rus- sians worshipped Karl Marx. Many Chinese thought it would be a good idea to follow the principles of this radical writer. Then the Soviets threw Karl Marx overboard and championed the world revolu- tion of Lenin, who was admired by many Chinese people. Afterwards, Stalin stepped into the limelight and advocated nationalism in the

Flight To India Not Abandoned

✔

It is generally agreed that Sop-) with was given a raw deal, and a great wave of sympathy has swept over the country. Techni- cally, the committee may have been right, but that it was mor- ally very weak is the general view taken.

One well-known writer says that

in doing so the committee "ducked to save its own little, chin, but let Uncle Sam take it full on the jaw"

"Rules are Kales"

And he did not know them.

Whatever may have been the legality of a protest on the first score, an incident as regards the second would give one just cause to suppose that Mr. Sopwith had every right to lodge a protest," and that it was expected.

It is learned that the following: took place at the first mark when Endeavour and Rainbow were only ten yards apart.

In China, to-day, Mr. Chow said the popular clamour is national", unification. This term sounds very well, if unification is for the interest of the nation. If unifica- tion means the loss of provinces to a foreign Power, unification is not desirable at all.

CANTON OIL REFINERY

Conflicting Claims

1!

(From Our Special Correspondent)

Canton, Oct. 15. Owing to confileting claims of jurisdiction over land on the out- skirts of the city, Mr. Man Shu Shing, Municipal Commissioner of Public Works, reported at the Canton City Government this morning that the text of jurisdic- tion is not whether the district is patrolled by police but whether the land in dispute is registered at the Municipal Bureau of Lands.

Mr. Man brought up this point because several persons were fined for building houses in Tungsha Residential District and Pak Hok Tung without obtaining building permits from the Municipal Bureau of Public Works. This was due to the misunderstanding of the per- sons concerned, who believed that their lands were located outside of city limit.

This mistaken notion is due to the fact that the "city's mit 18 expanded in accordance with the plan, approved by the late Dr. Bün Yat Sen in 1924. Mr. Man said this explanation was necessary fr order to make clear to the public, who are much embarrassed by the dual claims of the Canton muni- cipal government and the county" governments.

The Commissioner at Public Works next dwelt on the registra- tion of all civil engineers and ar- chitects. This is for the protec- tion of the people, for only proper. ly qualified architects are allowed to practise. There are two kinds of engineers. Those of the first grade must be graduates of a uni- versity with three years of experi- ente, while those of the junior grade must have completed their training in technical schools with eight years of experience.

Buch requirement is not unusual, as similar regulations are in force in Tientsin, Peiping, Shanghai, and Hankow, said Mr. Man.
