Washington Hopes Crisis Will Be Surmounted

Washington, Dec. & Official circles are appreciative ol the fact that the British monarchy is one of the few stabi- lising forces in this distracted | world and anything disturbing it would have repercussions.

The halt after this surely appreciated, and then they commenced the second run on a Hine leading south, terminating at the stables.

As has been the case on many previous occasions, the lines were laid by Mr. Alec. Potts, whose en- thusiasm, happily for participanta and spectators, never seems to wane.

The Whips were Lt. Enrigues and Lt. Barker-Carr, and they ex- perlenced but little trouble in deftly handling the eight couple of hounds which looked very At and well.

Judging by yesterday's meet it looks as though Captain" Swin- boarne is going to give followers a splendid season.

ELS one

As has been stated, there were about fifty followers, and in the hustle and bustle of the meet there was but little leisure in which to make an exact note of the riders. However. moved along it was gratifying to note that there was such a large Naval contingent, all of whom were obviously enjoying both the exercise and the sport.

Amongst the ladies who were well-up with hounds were Mrs. Anderson. Mrs. Swinbourne and Mrs. Eric Nelson. It seemed a ilitie

disappointing that there were not more ladies at this first meet, but, as nothing succeeds like success, one feels certain that st future theets there will be many. more whose presence facilitates so greatly the social as well as the sporting pleasures of such a ga- thering.

One of the most enthusiastic of the mere males was Colonel Rod- well, and it was good to see the "arm of the law" so admirably re- presented in the agile person of Mr. Scott."

Amongst the

many spectators were noticed the Hon. Mr. and Mrs. J. J. Paterson: Capr. and Mrs. Walker; Mrs. B. Bathurst, Stevens and Dr. Anderson.

CONSTITUTION

Declaration Of War Provisions

го

Hong Kong Daily Press" Special.

Moscow, Dec. 5. With minor amendments, the Soviet Union's new "constitution" was accepted by the Union Soviet's congress in its concluding session on Saturday. Most of the outstanding features of the new constitution are, it will be recalled. the abolition of the former separa- tion of legislation from executive power, and asmigamation in one supreme council and the creation of the people's commissariat for war industries.

In view of the critical reception with the new constitution has had in the press of western Europe, the Soviet propagandists have now changed the methods and no longer attempt to lay stress on the similarity of the constitution to that of western de-

mocracies, but merely laud it as "unique and unsurpassed."

One of the outstanding amend- ments to the new constitution made by the Soviet congress 13 that of Article 49. While the article in question read as follows in a draft permitted to congress. "in periods between sessions of the supreme counce, Presidents of the Supreme Council may declare war In the event of an unprovoked attack on the Soviet Union." the following words have now been added to the original tert, "or in the event that it becomes neces- sary to fulAll international obliga- tions under mutual assistance of pacts,"
