Fear of Communism

Position In Wuchow

Coolies Making New Forts

"It is significant that the fear in Wachow is more that some form of Communism may break out than netual fighting. 1 don't know what makes them so frightened. They have been frightened before and things have quietened down." was the opinion of Dr. Robert E. Beddoe, MD. when speaking about the political situation in Wuchow in the course of an interview with a "Daily Press representative yesterday,

"They are certainly expecting trouble up there." he said. “The night before I left the people were more excited than they have ever been before. Evidently they thought that the Central Govern- ment forces were going to proceed up, the West river right away.

"They have sent garrisons to all their forts, armed the policemen, and commanded the river sampans to clear out which is an unusual sight in China town.

"We have been having, people say thousands but I say hundreds, of coolles working all night on the hills, which are brilliantly lighted. making new forts."

Here To Operate

Dr. R. E. Beddoe, who is superin- tendent of the Stout Memorial Hospital, Wuchow, arrived in Hong Kong as the result of a telegraphic

serious

message to perform a operation on Mrs. Thompson, of the Shul Chow mission' fleld. Mrs. Thompson is a patient at the French Hospital.

Dr. Beddoe is a member of the American Southern Baptists, and in an interview with a "Daily Press" reporter stated that he had been in China for 27 years, The Stout Memorial Hospital was the first hospital established in Kwang al over 30 years ago...... ·

Mission Membership

I cannot say that there has

been tremendous increase in actual membership of the mission during my stay in China,

There has been some," was his reply.

"The actual number of Church members in the two southern pro- vinces of the mission, Kwangtung and Kwangsi, are about the same.” stated Dr. Beddoe.

Dr. Beddoe explained that be- sides medical work. the mission also did educational and evange- istio work among the Chinese in the two provinces.

WHAT IS NEWS?

WHEN MUTTON IS DRESSED-UP LIKE LAMB

Inaccuracy And Antiquity Combined

WHAT IS NEWS?

If you had glanced at the big, bold, black headlines in a section of the evening prest yesterday you would have come to this conclusion, namely. that news was something which happened about two years ago in the mundane matter of a purchase of a property in Ice House Street by the Govern

ment.

This item of news" was flared in headlines known as "three deckers," whilst immediately be neath was the rumoured price paid for this Lee House Street corner property. Quite a choice example of inaccuracy and antiquity,
