Central British Association have players in common with Club, Y.M.C.A. and Middlesex. Radio share no players with other clubs at present, but have been defeated by both Club and Y.M.C.A. Thus we are reminded that the Associa- tion Tournament does not include any of the first half dozen best teams' in the Colony, and this non- inclusich may be viewed in two lights.

The slogan of the working class in wartime, the mani- festo`saði, íhould be "Improve the people's livelihood and in- crease productivity.”

The manifesto expresses the hopes that the Government and m- dustrialists will immediately exploit mines, and develop light and handicraft industries and calls upon the skilled labourers remain- ing in the "occupied" cities to come to free China to do their part in resistance and reconstruction.

INDUSTRIAL SCHOOLS

In view of the acute shortage of skilled labour the manifesto sug- gests the opening of more indus trial schools.

First, it is fortunate for some at the weaker teams in the Tourna- ment that this is so, as mammoth scores compiled by one team against another do not add to the interest of the game. Second, it is unfortunate that an even better class of hockey than that provided sations and the promotion of by the Tournament is not brought i labour welfare during wartime,

It would be quite possible to have a Tournament on an even wider scale, and one that would probably attract the stronger teams, that would be divided into several sec- tions, graded according to strength, with, say, six teams in each section. The system of promo- tion and relegation could be estab- lished, and thus interest would be considerably added to such a tour- nament.
