COMMISSIONER'S SPEECR The Colony Commissioner then made his speech, as follows:

• Your Excellency, ladies and gen- tlemen, brother Scouts. I and it very difficult to express in adequate terms my feelings on such an occasion this. Whilst I ap- preciate to the full the Bonour which the Chief Scout has seen to confer úpon me, and which you, Sir, have just so kindly presentea to me, I am at the same time very much aware of my many short- comings as Commissioner. It is only because I have had the whole hearted support of all Members of the Association that I have felt justified in carrying on during the past year or two.

BREVITIES

Caught digging up earth at Mount Shadwell near Bullock Lane on Satur day, Trang Chiu, dz, widow, and Kwan King-sin, 60, unemployed, were charged before Mr. R. A. D. Forrest at the Central Magistracy yesterday and bound over in S20 each for one year.

Leung Teng-40, 26, unemployed, was sentenced to three months' hard labour and recommended for banishment by Mr. R. A. D. Forrest at the Central Magistracy yesterday on a charge of asaiting Mrs. Kartar Kaur on the roof of No. 53 Ngin Mok Street on November last

year. Sub-Inspector W." N. Darkin, pro- secuting, said there were actually thras men involved and it was thought that robbery was the object but there

was no evidence of that.

In passing sentence, His Worship remarked that it was a cowardly thing for defendant to rio, not only to assault a woman, but to get two other men to help him.

THE JAPANESE POINT OF VIEW

(To the Editor, "The Hong Kong tional Law, a garrisoned, town is sub-

jeat to any form of bombardment.

Daily Press")

Dear Sir,So much has appeared in the press of late in connection with the Sino-Japanese hostilities that it is possible-the reasons underlying the

conflict have become obscured.

Nanking and Canton are heavily garrisoned and fortised. In its cur- rounding district each formas the actual centre of military operations for the Chinese troops.

Japanese aviation authorities have consistently issued warnings of im ponding attacks on military positions, so that civilians may avol injury from bombs hitting garrison head. quarters, aerodromes, arsenals, railway stations facilitating movement' of Chi..

troops, and artillery and anti- aircraft locations.

May I, therefore, ask that you be kind enough to publish in your esteemed paper the facts set out here. under, which help your readers to re- alise that, much as we deplore the con. thiet, we hold that the blame is not ours

Why are Japan and China fightingpese Bach other and who began the fighting? The view of the Japanese is that she is fighting in order to protect her logi timete rights in China, and further to eradicate the evil elements which have been, and still are, trying to destroy friendly relations between Japan and China. The view of the Chinese is that she wants to drive out the Japanese from China and, if possible, to secure the return of Manchukuo. And again, as to who began the fighting, Japan sage that China did. The Chinese troops in Wanping, near Feiping, were deeply hostile to the Japanese garrison forces carrying on manoeuvres around Peiping. They frequently interfered with Japanese troops.

On the night of July 7, this year, some of them went to the length of firing at a section of Japanese soldiers on field exercise. Then the trouble started, in spite of repeated efforts on the part of Japan at settling the watter locally.

One might well ask, bàn Japan any right to station troops and carry out manoeuvres in China, but the right of ployel actor, appeared before Mr. R.tsin-Peiping area is clearly recognised Japan to station troops in the Tien- Edwards at the Cenim Magistracy in treaties and enjoyed in common yesterday charge with wounding one with America, Britain, France and Lo Kam Yuen with intent to do him Italy.

"Concerning the reported attacks upon schools and hospitals, these institutions of learning and humanity were desecrated by Chinese troops who had occupied and fortified the buildings as shields for attack, or a refuges for defence. In this manner, to cite a few out of many examples, wore, the patriotic Girls' School and the Sungteh Girls School of Shanghai, and the Nankai University of Tien- tain, converted into military establishments.

As regards hospitals, it is the Chinese and not the Japanese who have been making attacks on them. This is of the Japanese hospital ship, Awahi clearly substantiated by the example Baru, which was made the direct tar- get of Chinese bombardments.

triendship and goodwill between this Colony and South China. In conclusion I would like to thank you for the support you have given not only to myself, but to all officers during the past year.

HIS EXCELLENCY'S ADDEESS His Excellency then addressed the meeting. He said he did not think it was necessary for him at a meeting of this sort to dilate on the principles underlying the Scout Movement. Those of them who were not active members were deeply interested and fully aware of these principles. He would put it in one phrase. The boy was father of the man

and if they wanted a satisfactory, mankind it was absolutely necessary that they should prepare the antecedent boy- kind. The question arose as to what Hong Kong was doing in this respect. From what he had found, although progress was being made, It was not far as it ought to be. certainly not as far as the move ment demanded.

Nevertheless, valuable support was being given and here he would like to express his thanks to the multifarious kindnesses of the many friends. In particular the Colony Commissioner had asked him to express his gratitude to the Military and Naval authorities and to the heads of civil government departments for the facilities and help given during the year. He also thanked subscribers and not least those who had helped them out in their Chai Wan debt, which

the Boy Scout movement had taken a back seat in this respect. He took this opportunity of making a ¦ very strong claim on the pockets and endeavours of the public.

In conclusion congratulated the Colony Com-
