HOSTILE TO JAPAN

Meijikai Party Is Sharply Critical

Tokyo, Nov. 3.

Me.. T. Tanaka, the President, and the directors of the Meijikai Party have passed a resolution to the.cllect that since the begining of the hostilities between Japan tind China, Britain has been affording every ns- distance to China, and has sometimes

hindered the Japanese miary nu- thorities.

"Such an attitude cannot be deemed to be within the proper conines of n neutral third power, but must be considered as evidence of a hostile attitude against Japan.

"Japan and China are grown-up nations, with their own culture, and

able to straighten out difficulties

themselves. It is an Insult to the ideals of their civilisation to suggest they cannot," the relution-states-

Finger-Prints Not His,

Accused Claims

But Words Cannot

Alter Records

His disbelief in the infallibility of theflier-print record syslem was strenuously protested by Chan Sing, 40. at the Kowloon Magistracy this morning. For whereas his record showed that he had been banished for 10 years In August last, and that he was a professional beggar, ho declared that he had never been sent Rway and that his past was snowy white.

Even when Sergeant McKay of the Fingerprints Office testitted that Chan had been convicted three times of begging and had been deported, producing his finger-print record and photographs, Chan said it was a case of mistaken identity,

He refused to believe that Anger- prints did not look alike. "Just as faces may look alike, so du firiger- prints,' he protested. Even the photographs, which resembled him to a startling degree, and showed the little scar he had on his forehead, falled to shake him.

On charges of begging in Saigon Street, and returning from banish- ment, he was fined $10 or one month, and three months without the option, by the Magistrate, Mr. K. Keen. As he was being taken away, he could still be heard mumbling about people who refused to believe coincidences.

VOCATION TRAINING

FOR TROOPS

Reformed System To Be Tried

London, Nov. 2.

Mr. Leslie Hore Belisha, Minis- ter for Defence, informed the House of Commons that the Government had decided to make vocational training available to every soldier to the utmost extent before he left the Colours,

and not afterwards, as at present.

The men will receive full military pay and appropriate allowances as soldiers.

Sailors returning from overseas will, if necessary, be permitted to extend their Colour service to take advantages of these courses. The new system will be experimental for six months, and will be continued if successful.

Mr. Hore-Belisha stated that 5,500 men may be trained during the next six months at the dozen contres which have been established in the country.--Reuter,

Ceuta Guns No Threat To Gibraltar

Cm-

London, Nov. 2. Information regarding the pincement of guns opposite Gibraltar was given by Mr. Leslie Hore- Bellsha in the louse of Commons to-day.

He stated that the armament that defended Port Ceutn had not been reinforced since early in the Spanish war.

The big guns were howitzers,

not normally installed for sea fighting purposes, and it was reasonable to deduce that the defences had been improved for prolection of Spanish nationalist territory,
