HONGKONG TELEGRAPH. WEDNESDAY. MARCH 23, 1932.

THE DEFENCE OF HONGKONG.

APPEAL FOR ANTI-AIRCRAFT SECTION.

ROTARY TALK. -

Mr. C. Chumpkin, was In hig usual humorous mood when he delivered an address at yesterday's | luncheon of the Hongkong Rotary Club. on "Thene Anti-Aircraft Gans," in the course of which he appeated for men to come forward and join the newly-formed Anti- Aircraft Light Automatic Company of the Hongkong Volunteer De fence Corps.

The

Chairman (Sir. WI Hornell) welcomed the following guests, an non-Rotarians. Mr. l. C. Turvin (Callfornia), Mr. V.G. Bronson (Hongkong), Mr. A.D. Muir (Hongkong) and Mr. F. Some Thomson (Hongkong), and Doctor H.P. Yew, (Yunanfu).

Also the following Rotariana, Mr. C.E. Horeman (Shanghai), Mr. M. Sandor, Mr. W. Yinson e and Mr. R. Farr, all of Shanghal, and Mr. T. Fox (Bangkok).

Mr. Lee expressed his pleasure at finding the Hongkong Club pro- spering, saying Shanghai Ito. tarians brought back news of the activities in Hongkong, and they greatly appreciated the welcome always given them.

H ided. " left Shanghai the day before the Lytton Commission arrived" *NET I cannot tell you much- about the penee Begotiations. I do antice here, however, that the news that appears in the long- kong papers is very meagre claughler) compared with what appears on the spot. We have the front and sometimes the second

plastered with DOWA.

(Laughter).

Mr. Champkin's Address, Mr. Champkin said.--It was with nome difficulty that I persuaded my friend, Mr. Macpherson, to prevail upon me to accept your kind in- vitation to-day. You have been very patient with me here on other occasions when i have spoken on subjects of which I know nothing, but I confess I feared the danger of putting your forbearance to a breaking strain on the subject of these anti-aircraft guna.

It is only fair to Mr. Macpherson for me to say that he endorsed my apprehension with a wholeheart- edness that seemed to me parhapa a little reády, having regard to our long and friendly association In imposing on the suffering publle of this Colony.

An Absorbing Paaston. Anti-preraft guna happen to be lau absorbing passion of mine, but dan, expect you to be anything but midly interested in them, any more than you would expect me to he particularly Interested in golf, or the assassination of anipe, or the nude culturista--(Laughter). We all have our hobbies and didn't come here to talk about mine. I am here principally be-

The Colony expects, and has every right to demand, a decorous and decent despondency from its Defence Corpa, (Laughter) for there has never been a time in Ita history when the Colony's bost volunteers were not the world's worst pealmista.

It was so in our time, and It has always been so. I darenhy mont of you enn go back twenty- five years, when the rifleman watched with dull amaze the first aeroplane that disturbed the pleaning amenities of his Enster nianoeuvres. He knew then that volunteering was Anished. He knew the aeroplano had beaten him and that the end had come.

Whiskered Warriors

por-

Forty years before his time, the whiskered warriors, whose traits are preserved in our On- cera Mesa, whored their beards with the same dismal foreboding. They laid unite their crossbows and battleaxes (Laughter) or whatever amallarme they used in the

sixties, and they took up the latest thing in gents' saappy Sni- rifles, and they also knew the der end had come. They also knew that modern armament had put a sack in the old spirit and that volunteering would never be the ante again.

So it has been throughout three quarter of a century of volunteer- Ing history.

We have all been

gloomy prophets. but, like old Ezekiel, wo have seen the dry bones, stirring, and we are not without hope that the spirit of the sixties, that never failed us yet. will serve the hour and need long after we are gone.~(Applause).

Never More Keen.

We know that if the Colony's volunteers to-day are small in numbers they have never been more keen and that they are Im- measurably more efficient than at any time before.

We know that those old warriora throwing in picturesque poses, the weight of their budies on their chinstraps (laughter) were splen- did fellows.Applause). They handed down something more Inst ing than pecular fashion in sidewhiskers. They started A grent movement. They passed on a great tradition. They gave to those who came after them a spirit that, if it has wearied at times, has gathered strength ngain. and gone from strength to strength when real and urgent need has called on ibis Colony for volunteers.

A. A. an Urgent Need.

The Anti-aircraft Light Auto- matic Company anticipates a real and urgent need-the need to uard against menace that twenty- five years ago would have seemed as fantastic as it seemed forty gears before then, when Tennyson forevisioned the nations' nerial navies grappling in the central blue.

We know how real that menace is fo-day-not to us of course. (Continued on Page 11.)

cause And it pleasant to be in FUNNIER THAN "HALF SHOT' the goodly company of so many old valunteers, and I am more glad than I might be, after tasting this coffee, to know that most of yan don't think anti-aircraft guns are worth a damn!--(Laughter) should be much discouraged if you thought otherwise! When olt volunteers develop the habit of taking a cheerful view of volun- teering they ought to retire. We can always find them a congenial job in the Boy Scouts.
