FULL LOAD

There is accommodation on the Hong Kong Clipper for 20 passen gers and we had a full load on our trip. Excltement ran high as the great ship began moving, slow- ly gathering up speed until the foam and spray lashed the sides so heavily that we were unable to see ourselves leave the water. Then like a great bird the ship rose and the distance between us and terra firma increased rapidly as

we headed south, merry party enjoying a rare thrill.

One could not help wondering why the autorities have not con- demned all these houses. They are not only a disgrace to the good name of the Colony-they are definite menace to the health of the community!

As an experiment

we would suggest that the Government should order two or three blocks of these houses to be pulled down and in their place put up modern flats. with proper regard to light- ing and sanitation etc. It should not be too difficult a task and a step like this will not only win for Hong Kong the name of a city that caters, for the comforts of

of the poor as well as the rich, but what is more important still, it will give the thousands of poor brought up in a bables 11 better chance to be tarian manner.

French Criticism

The American Press has proved simost, unanimous in its friend- liness towards the Duke and, particularly, towards the Duchess. "Only in the French Press, with which an Anglo-American Press luncheon can have no concern, has the Duke been attacked. or wrongly, French newspapers have read Nazi sympathies into the fact that the Duke bald a visit to Hitler and that he is salling for America in a German ship.
