The idea of some new agreement in the Pacific is not completely unexpected. It was, for instance, openly can- vassed at the Conference of the lustitute of Pacific Relations last year, and the British delegates in purticular were urged that the time had come to call together the signatories Bf the Nine-Power Treaty to review the position in the Fur East. For one reason, the political and naval agreements the Washington concluded Conference in 1922-the lust it- tempt to stabilise the changing forces in the Far East-formally terminated at the beginning of the present year, though to all intents and purposes the political treaties had come to an end in 1931 with the Japanese invasion of Manchuria.

In a friendly basket ball "en-

In the Erst half of the match the Filipinos led only by an odd point.
There was a large number of spectators present The competi-|| tion was very keen and the game was very enthusiastically played.

The team comprising omcers of the Royal Ulster Rifles were obliged to scratch owing to the recent out- break of glanders among the horses in the regiment.
It was learned that the next tournament will be the Navy Cup which, is due to start about the middle or end of this month.
It is possible that Shanghai will send a team to compete for the Kesick Cup. If so the tournament will take place at the end of Sep- tember or the beginning of Octo ber.
The K.O.YLI. Cup will be the last competition of the season and will commence in early October.

"We in Singapore are in the proud and very fortunate position of being in one of the healthiest cities, if not the healthiest city, in Asia." Thus said Mr. G. Parbury at the meeting of the Municipal Commissioners, in paying tribute to the local health authorities, in a speech on the adjournment. Referring to the annual report of the Health Department which was tabled, Mr. Farbury mentioned that it had entailed a great deal of work. "We take a'great pride in our health, and this report, put up by Dr. Hunter and his assistant, is well worth reading, not only by Commissioners but the public "Health has been very good, but it' generally," said Mr. Farbury, can be improved.
