PROBABLE INTERPORT HOCKEY XI HELD

A COMBINED POLICE XI held THREE DRUMS FOR the COLONY INTERPORT PRO- BABLES to a goalless draw in a practice match played at King's Park yesterday. The game was played at a fast pace and some good movements were witnessed.

THE DRAW "Should the sale of tickets reach the million mark-and, according to the present rate of sales, it is fully expected 10-three drums will be used for the draw" said an official of the Hongkong Jockey Club during the course of an in- terview yesterday morning.

The world needs a permanent programme of peace and or. der as surely as it needs armies, E. S. Tarner. prominent F.M.C.A. executive, declared in a speech to the Rotary Club at the Manila Hotel, reports the Manila Bulletin.

"It is wishful thinking of those who believe that nations victorious in the present war. or all of the principal nations immediately concerned in this conflict who might negotiate peace, will give to the world a workable plan of permanent peace," he said. "Any one is doomed to disappointment if they expect it. We do not need to review at length examples of the past to prove the validity of this statement. The Versailles treaty which was the beginning of the present war is sufficient. "A workable programme should all national legislation in .co. be as earnestly planned "now as trast with many other nations we plan for the Increase of our today which have assumed that navy and it must include rights great crisis could only be met suc- and justice for all nations.
