Responsible spokesmen at the Ministry of Railways here say that there is no plan just now to con- nect the Canton-Hankow Rail- way and the Canton-Kowloon line.

The present extension of the Kwangtung section of the Canton- Hankow line is to reach as far as Whampoa only.

The local Chinese press, however, pays paricular attention to the reports that two Hong Kong British Arms have signed contracts with the Canton authorities for the im- provement of the water works and the extension of the bus service.

New Warning On Recruiting

in the future. - Unless blind boys and crippled "children can be placed in institutions one result is inevitable. They will fall into the hands of unprincipled people who will exploit their infirmities for the purpose of begging- fate from whleb it is our duty to save them

His Excellency and the President has referred to Mr. Hazlerigg's great services to the Society. As one who has been closely associat~ ed with Mr. Hazlerigg from the very beginning in what he has made his ework. I can endorse every word that Sir Andrew Cul- decott and Sir Shou-son Chow has said about him. His going will be an irreparable less to us; but for- tunately he has laid a firm foun- dation, and has erected on it an edince which, unlike material structures, can rise and expand without limit, if those who come after him will profit by his work and example. (Applause).

for the free gift of personal service by the whole administra. tive star. From the beginning the Society has steadfastly set its face against a paid administrative personnel. It belleves that for work of such vital importance to the community, volunteer workers will always be forthcoming; and it feels that every possible dollar of the money entrusted to it should go towards the relief of those whom the Society stands `charged to protect.

WORKERS THANKED Where all so generously give their labour, It is perhaps in- vidious to attempt discrimination, but common Justice calls for special mention of the splendid services rendered by Mr. F. H. Loseby as Honorary Director, by Mr. A. McKeller as Honorary Treasurer, and by Mrs. P. E. Barker as Honorary General Secretary. With our gratitude to Mr. Loseby must unhappily be- coupled our regret that pressure of business has compelled his re- linquishment of office. Fortunate-

We should not like to give up our liberty, which had cost our fathers so much, added the Minis- ter, and we should not like to give up our voluntary system, which was the wonder of the whole world, If employers in th's country would throw themselves wholeheartedly Into the work the voluntary sys- tem could fail to be effective.

So far as the Territorial Army was concerned, Mr. Duff Cooper said that he had some good news. The recruiting ngures were satis- factory. In the nve mantha, April, May, June, July and August, „re- cruiting, compared with the pre- vious year, showed an increase of 60 per cent. In September the Increase was 100 per cent. and in October 150 per cent. Although he had not received the November figures, he hoped they would be us satisfactory.

Through talk about disarmament in recent years the Territorial Army had been made to feel it was not wanted. ·· They had got to get rid of that spirit and impress "tipou young men that they were as much a part of the defence as the Royal Navy itself.

MARTIAL LAW IN WUCHOW

Martin, who has wide experience as a member and past Chairman of the Executive Committee, has consented to act as Honorary Director.

It will readily be appreciated that any increase in the number of cases dealt with by the Society involves a commensurate increase tri calls upon its funds. It' is therefore particularly gratifying to find that, despite an increase of 400 in the number of new cases dealt with during the year, the Society's income has, for the first time for several years, exceeded

shows that the community has awakened to the urgent needs of the chidren of the poor.

SOCIETY: FUTURE.

I must remind you, and the community at large, that as the Society is dependent on voluntary contributions for three-quarters of its revenue, its future lies in the hands or the public. Euch succeeding year has served more clearly to show how dire is the

Mr. de Martin said that he recently spent some months of this summer in England and Germany and could not find instances of child misery. His observations, admittedly

were casual but the fact remained how far one had to walk about the streets of Hong Kong to see juvenile Instances of disease, wretchedness and mal- nutrition

He would like to stress to the generous donors of the Society that there was such a thing as Hong Kong citizenship.

J

He mentioned that in the Press from time to time there appeared a list of contributors to the Society.

Practically the same names kept recurring and he would like to see more sums coming in from younger people.

Mr. de Martin paid tribute to what Lady Southorn had done for the Society.

In conclusion, Mr. de Martia re- marked that the claims of children on the Society was not sporadie but persistent Emclency was not enough; there must be an ade- quata scale
