PUBLIC FEELING IN CANTON

Wien the news of Marshal

Loyang on Christmas Day became known, the whole of Canton City went delirious with joy. The news was received with profound relief in both Chinese and foreign, busi- ness circles of the City.

Cracker firing started at 6 pm. and continued far into the night,

and never has there been such an exhibition of public feeling before. Not only were the citizens in a trenzy of delight, but even the offials gave feasts in celebration of Marshal Chiang Kai-shek's free-

There can be few children who have been told by father, mother," nurse, school. master, or all together, that they do not know what is good for

thom.

"You don't know what's good for you”—it is one of the traditional phrases by which grown-ups assert their right to make children do what they do not want to do.

Without, in some cases, consi- dering for a moment the colossal assumptions they dre making, adults regularly maintain that they know what is good for the children but the children do not, And never more so than in the case of food.

A few years ago, when it was the fashion among adults to believe in rice pudding, children who disliked it were told that they did

not know what was good for them and made to eat it. Now the adults themselves are not so sure of the virtues of rice pudding, and the children are told to eat something else.

At present the fashion, which seems to be as well based and as scientific as any dietetic theory can be, is that milk is good for children, and as many children as possible are being helped and encouraged to drink milk. But it is a little disconcerting to find that not all children like milk and that, to tell the truth, some of them hate it.

On December 18, 1936, at H.B.M. Alexander Perera Chandarasekera, alias Allsandiri, from sentence of death by the Supreme Court at Ceylon for the murder of a woman named Balami Nadatchi.

Lord Roche said the ground of appeal was that the woman, whose throat had been cut, was unable to speak when questioned, and, on the mention of, the appellant's name as her assailant, was said to have nodded her head. „

It was represented that this kind of testimony, was not "oral," as re- quired by the Evidence Ordinance, but a Court of Allahabad in 1885 had held that similar evidence was admissible.

Lord Roche said that, in the pre- sent case. It was as conclusive as though it had been given in the deaf and dumb alphabet, and those algus would have been been admit- ted by any court. Other evidence was not merely consistent with the woman's statement, but pointed in the same direction:

The matter was for the Jury to decide, and the Judge properly ruled on the evidence. It was a case in which, if the woman's statement was received and be lieved, as evidently it was by the jury to be clear and unmistakable, conviction was inevitable.
