HONG KONG DAILY PRESS WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 8, 1937.
FOREIGNERS IN CANTON CONCERNED OVER BLOCKADE
Canton, Sept. 1: The Japanese blockade of the China Coast, the shelling of Chekwan and the seizure of the two customs cruisers in Hong Kong territorial waters have aroused deep concern among the foreign community in Canton.
It is generally felt that if the Japanese succeeds in threatening communications on the Canton- Kowloon Railway line and the Pearl River it will seriously affect the interests in Hong Kong.
The Colony. It is opined, will suffer more than Canton should the blockade be enforced.. i It is believed that the Japanese at first mérely intended the blockade to start from Swatow but are taking a chance in extending it to Pakbol
Unless Britain is willing to use warships to protect her shipping in this area it is believed that British Interests in South China will be seriously affected-l'entral Yews..
WHAT IS
PIRACY?
Continued from Page 1)
This state of affairs has been re- ferred to by writers to the Press as piracy. Piracy is of course a crime under the national law of every maritime country and in
is one of the England
four crimes, punishable by death: Ac- cording to the International Law. any country that catches pirates' in their waters may have the crimin- als tried by their own Courts, no mutter to what nationality the pirates belong. To-day, except in China, piracy is extinct, but what constitutes piracy? It is an act committed at sea or at any rate close to the sea by persons not acting under proper authority.
THE MEDITERRANEAN Going back to the situation in the Mediterranean. the speaker said that the ships operating there must belong to one of the two parties in conflict in Spain or else they are from some government or governments taking the
part of one of the parties, but due to the fact that the evidence, at this stage, was not binding enough, the speaker said be hesitated to say to whom the ships belonged.
It is intolerable, however, that in the Mediteranean ships not carrying cargo or even aalling to Spain or any Spanish ports should in Interfered with in such an outrageous manner-£ manner which is very much worse than actual piracy. They are the acts of some government or govern~ ments and those responsible must be brought to book,
In conclusion the speaker said that these attacks are a symptom of the degeneration of interna- tional law and order and should serve as a warning to us that un- less we call a halt to it here and now, much trouble lies ahead for us. Prai. McNair expressed the hope that
the powers will take stock of the position and, having done that, unanimously act to- gether to stop this slipping back to barbarism.

| HONG KONG CHINESE WAR RELIEF
ASSOCIATION FORMED
At the fourth monthly commit- Lee meeting of the Chinese Cham ber of Commerce, whien was heid in the Chamber's Board Room, Connaught Road Central, yester- day afternoon, it was decided to form a "Hong Kong Chinese War Relief Association" for the pur- pose of raising funds in aid of the wounded soldiers and war refugees. The Chairman, Mr. Li Sing-ku! said:

Since the trouble in North China raise began. many requests ta funds to assist the sufferers have been made to the Chamber, but it is pointed out that it would be better to have.. the whole Chinese community to work for this scheme, and so the "Hongkong Chinese War Rellef Association" was formed.
The "Hong Kong Chinese War Rellet Association" is now giving invaluable help to the sufferers. and it is felt that the Chinese Chamber of Commerce should have formed a committee to look after the raising of funds, as the Cham- ber of Commerce is the leading official organisation of the Chinese in the Colony.
Since you, gentlemen, agree to have such a committee, I hope you will do your best for those unfortunates in the North. but be- fore I conclude, I earnestly request that all our people in this Colony will not fall to preserve order and
