casions under the new Ordinance. It was impossible for a man to explain every possible thing in his pockets. There were probably half a dozen people in the Court who had things in their pockets, associated with opium, yet because no opium was found in their possession, they were not bothered for an explanation of those things. There were going to be many cases in which people could not explain some things, and if this was taken into account against the people, there would be many convictions in that Court.

PROBLEM OF AIR DISARMAMENT.

LORD THOMSON ON COMING DIFFICULTIES:

BRITAIN WATCHFUL.

London; Apr, 9. Speaking in the House of Com- mons to-day Lord Thomson, Scere- fary for Air, said the elements in air power were an Air Force of sufficient strength to carry out the policy of the country, air communi- cation sufficiently developed, air transport system nourished and fed by adequate aircraft and lastly a highly developed system of aeronautical research.

fonce had been devised for dealing No means of purely passive de- with attacks from the air.

1 Second Branch of the Kiangsu Higher Court (Appeal Court) and the Shanghai Special Dis- trict Court (re-organized Pro- 1visional Court) was marked by a simple ceremony consisting mainly of the oath-taking of the new dignitaries and judges of He assured Mr. Trenchard that the two tribunals, and addresses the Government were giving the by a number of court officials most careful attention to the sub- and a representative of theject.

ing an active part as head of the Committee of Imperial Defence.

The two most important officials installed in office were Dr. Hau Wei-chen, President of the Appeal Court, and Yang Shao-hsiung, President of the Special District Court.

The Transformation.

The transformation of the court from its old status into a Chinese tribunal was evidenced by the predominance of the Chinese judicial police, the new uniforms of the staff of the courts and Chinese lettering instead of Eng- lish on the doors leading to the various departments. Even the former wardresses attached to the courts' detention cells presented an unusual appearance in their new black uniforms.

The entrance to the main court- house from the compound was adorned with three large banners, two on the sides bearing the following Invocations of the late Dr. Sun Yat-sen to the people: "The revolution is not yet accom- plished" and "Everyone has to struggle" and in the middle the characters standing for "Justice."

Turning to the question of air disarmament, Lord Thomson said we had never claimed even a one power standard in the air. Air disarmament was one of the big. gest problems that lay ahead. If air development went on there was no town in this country which was safe from bombing.

His own view was that no coun- try could possess air power that was not a progressive and highly developed country. Countries which could possess

air power were very few and they were for- tunately democratically governed.

Without their political co-opera- tion and agreement there was, however, no prospect of disarma- ment in a strict sense în air mat- ters.—British Wireless.
