solution, if ordination may lead to only partial one, of the problem of the movement of air manses over this portion of the earth, and thus aid the solution of the general atmospheric problem.

"Mon. Bruzon, I congratulate you upon the representative nature of the gathering here assembled, and also upon the presence of Lt. Col. Gold, Assistant Director of the Meteorolo- gical Office, London, who, us the President of

the

Commission for Synoptic Meteorology, will, 1 am sure, be of the greatest assistance to

you.

"Gentlemen, may I repeat to you a most hearty welcome to Hongkong and trust that your stay here may be not only profitable to the selence at meteorology but also pleasurable to yourselves."

MEET OF CO-OPERATION

M. Bruzon's reply in part was as follows:-"As President of this Com- mission, I am very much indebted to Your Excellency for permitting us to hold our conference in Hongkong, the permission has been greatly ap- preciated by all of us. As Your Ex- cellenty stated, Hanoi was first to be the seat of our meeting and I had

already taken the necessary steps when it appeared that Hongkong would suit the majority of delegates much better. The question was a delicate one, but thanks to the kind- ness of Your Excellency it was soon resolved. I am most grateful to you, sir, for the assistance you have afforded inc.

"In meteorology, close international co-operation, implying uniformity of methods, has become a necessity. The need for such co-operation was already felt in 1830 when the Eastern meteorologists met in this very place. It was then easy to predict that the quick development of aviation would 'soon lay all weather services under an obligation to make a heavy con- tribution.

"The institution of regional com- inissions is the logical consequence of the increasing needs of aviation and I sincerely hope that the Regional Commission 11 which meets to-day for the first time will carry out use- ful work on behalf of the inter- national organisation. I and the de- legates of this commission thank Your Excellency for the honour you have conferred upon us by consenting to open it."

WEEK'S PARLEY

It is expected that the deliberations of the Commission, which are being carried on in both French and Eng- lish, will occupy about six or seven days. During that time numerous items will be discussed, most of them concerned with the unification of reports by meteorological stations,

more complete reporting of con- ditions over sea areas, better and more frequent messages to airplanes, hours of observations, new stations and adoption of a standard code.

Washington, Jan, 12.

The Federal Government's full resources are to be flung into the hunt for the slayer of 10-year-old Charles Mattson, by order of President F. D. Roosevelt.

In a statement, the President showed his personal emotion as a consequence of the most brutal act in America's long history of savage crime.

"This murder has shocked the nation," he exclaimed. "Every means at our command must be enlisted to capture and punish the perpetrators of this ghastly crime.

"The federal agents engaged in the search, will pursue it relentlessly. It will not be terminated unt! the murderer is caught,

"A crime of this kind is renewed evidence of the need of sustained effort in dealing with the criminal element."

The Attorney General, Mr. Homer 5. Cummings, immediately announc- ed a reward of $20,000 for the appre- hension of the slayer of Charics Mattson. Then declared: "All the Department of Justice's facilities will be turned loose in this case. I am desperately sorry for the stricken famally."
