The importation into the Colony of two copies of a Cantonese talkie under two different names-one called the "Siew Nul Kah Lo Foo." meaning "The 2nd Uncle," and the other, "Sai Nam Yee Pok Foo." described in the pleading as mean- ing "Modern Korlio."-led to an one Chinese film application by distributing firm for an injunction on the other restraining them from exhibiting the talkie.

It was bought from the Meng Wah Film Co, of Hong Kong, the vendors, in an agreement in writing, agreeing not to sell on- ther copy of the same film for exhibition in Malaya, North Borneo Dr Slam.

The applicants alleged that the respondent, Lam Voo Kuan, sole proprietor of the Meng Wah Film House. of Tank Road, also import- 1 from the same firm in Hong Kong a film, "Modern Korllo."

This film, the applicants alleged. was identical with the aim they had Imported though it was under another name and was 800 ft. anorter.

An interim "injunction was taken . October 19, restraining the re- ondents from showing the fim, and they gave the usual under- taking as to payment of any dam- ages suffered.

The respondents had advertised to show the film and had in fact hown it on one day before they received the order of the court.

PREVENTION

LORD MCGOWAN'S " SUGGESTION

The establishment of a Univer- Delegates sity Chair for Accident Prevention was suggested by Lord McGowan recently.

Lord McGowan, who is president of the National Safety First Asso- elation, was speaking in London at the Safety First congress, which 700 delegates attended.

He said that research work into safety problems had not gone deep enough. It would be wise to con- sider whether the endowment of a Chair would be practicable or de- sirable.

A travelling scholarship might be an experiment worth trying. and if the idea was acceptable' it would receive the practical sup- port of his Association."

Speaking on the provisions of the new Factories"Act, Sir Samuel stressed the importance of efficient lighting as a safety factor. The section of the

museum dealing

with factory lighting which, pre- vious to the new Act,, was not sub- ject to any legislation, would be of great assistance to the Home On- cé when the necessary regulations for implementing the Act were bc- ing prepared.

Mr. G. Shrosbree. Safety and Welfare Supervisor of 靄 motor manufacturing firm. said the cost to industry of accident compensa- tion was between £5,000,000 and £6,000,000 a year. The cost in kinds of accidents, and some kind of specific training at an impres-time lost and disorganisation was sionable age is necessary. We between £15,000,000 and £18,000,-

Not a day passes in London or in the provinces but one is struck by instances of lack of care, and bad driveing. The problem, therefore, is even greater than the statistics.

The realisation of individual res- ponsibility, not by motorists alone, but by cyclists and pedestrians as well, was the key to the solution. It was in the training of the young that they had to find the key which would solve the pro- blem.

Mr. Johannes further contended that, if the respondent was not allowed to show his film, he was suffering damage, and it was un- fair to restrain respondent while the applicants were allowed to show their flim.

His lordship, dismissing the ap- plication for the Injunction, said that under the agreement the sp- plicants had a remedy against the firm in Hong Kong under clause 3 of the agreement, where the Hong Kong firm undertook to pay to the applicants any loss suffered for any Infringement of the agree- ment.

Discipline A "Myth" In

Baguio Military Academy.

Discipline is a "myth" in the

Philippine Military Academy Bagulo insofar as imposed by re- serve officers acting as instructors, cadets visiting Manila to partiel-

pate in the Commonwealth an- niversary military parade are tell- ing friends, and relativés, states the "Manila Bulletin." The entire corps of cadets is "losing its. morale” due to the realization that the standard of instruction is not as high as it is supposed to be, it was disclosed.

It is understood that the cadets do not have whole-hearted respect for the reserve officers. and as á result, many instances of near- insubordination have been noted Tately. It was learned at Army headquarters that unlike West Point, instructors at the Philip- pine Military Academy are re- serve officers with no experience in the field. Only the superinten- dent of the academy and the In B major war, he sa'd, the commandant are United States Army would not be large enough Army officers, on detail with the to provide outposts for the coun- Philippine Army.

was gathered.

Alleged lack of discipline in the West Point of the Philippines, it was gathered, is due to the" fact that some of the instructors, now reserve officers, have been claas- mates of certain cadets in Manila universities. Cadet and instructor have the same scholastic attain- ment. To have a former class- mate teach the cadet mathematics, for instance, especially when the cadet is aware of the fact that his instructor was no better than he was in school, irks the cadet and

is conducive to the loss of respe.t it was explained.

Another reason for the tendency toward disrespect on the part of the cadeta, is the knowledge that upon graduation a cadet is com- missioned to the regular army, a commission higher than the post held by a reserve officer.

Plebes in the Academy are understood to have more respect for an upper class cadet than for an instructor, who is a mere re- 'serve officer. Bo far as drilling is concerned the cadets are said to know more than their reserve officer Instructors, who have had only R. O. T. C. training In some local universities.

As a result of this loss of respect for the reserve officers, discipline In the academy is maintained only through tradition, cadets said. It Is reported that there have been eases in which reserve officers where chided for wrong posture. or slackness in dress, by the cadets. On several occasions senior cadets refused to stand in the presence of reserve officers, it is likewise reported.

Only recourse of the reserve officers in such cases, it was gathered, is to report the matter to the cominandant. ' Invariably. the erring cadets are punished or. given demerita, but in instances they get away with it,

Army officer, hearing of these. reports, said that such an attitude on the part of the cadets is under- mining the morale of the institu tion. A high ranking officer in headquarters admitted that "for want of better men, reserve ofcets Ere given jobs as instructors in the Academy." According to him, this is due to the lack of trained. officers in the Philippine Army.
