INTERNATIONAL SOLIDARITY.

This new and wlder spirit led first of all to the recognition that to have peace we must look beyond the boundaries of our

We must make a living reality of the international solidarity of the workers.

We must also welcomo as allies all in every country who would] join us in the struggle for peace on which the fate of civilisation depended.

TREMENDOUS TASK. If it abandoned its international faith it would be powerless to save the world from another war and from the dictatorships and the cussions at Genova revealed the awful tyrannies which were the consequences of the war.

It was a tremendous task. To have peace we must not only sign treaties removing the right to resort to war, but we must abolish the national equipment and institutions that made war possible and the private interests that lived by war.

Detective Sergeant Fitches anid that the complainant, Chan Sum, was a. Hoklo, as were the two de feudants, Complainant's elder brother had been assaulted by two men. In the Central district October 28, and on finding out that the two men lived in a boarding house in Wanchal run by his friend, he thought he would oak his friend to reprimand the two fokie. He accordingly went to Wanchai, and there by chance met his brother, the complainant, to whom ho unfolded his story.

Thoy both proceeded to the boarding house, but the friend was not in. The elder brother, however, saw one of his assailante there, and pointed him out to com- plainant, who took the law lato his own hands and gave the man a blow.

The brothers then went away, the elder taking a tram back to the Central District and the coast- able going on his beat.
