WE MUST KEEP OUR HANDS CLEAN IN CHINA
-Lord Cecil
Lord Cecil, presiding at a mass rally of the Inter- national Peace Campaign at Covent Garden Opera House recently, condemned Japanese aggression "as a deliberate attempt to enforce her will by arms, irrespective of all international control."
"Our purpose if we can," he declared, "is to stop the war and insist upon the withdrawal of all Japanese forces from China.
"If we do not succeed, we desire citizens of all the countrica represented here to clear themselves of complicity in the Japanese
.crime.

I Want To See My Son
-LORD WARWICK
"UNLIKELY' SAYS WIFE
By" PHYLLIS DAVIES
LORD WARWICK: I
want to see my son. LADY WARWICK: It is improbable that he will.
of
These are extracts from conversations I had with the 27-years-old Earl Warwick-Michael Brooke, the film actor, in Hollywood and with his lovely wife.
I spoke by radio telephone to Lord Warwick in the Berengarin and to Lady Warwick at St. Moritz, where she is on a winter sports holiday. Lady Warwick said she did not wish to discuss her husband or his affairs, udding: "It is Improbable that he and I will meet."
WITH HIS GRANDMOTHER
GA
Their four-years-old son, Lord Brooke, is also "winter-sporting" at Samaden, Engadine, with his grand- mother. Lady Rosabelle Brand, who is the Countess of Warwick's mother. Lady Rosabelle Brund said: "My grandson has been excited since lie heard his father was coming to meet him. We shall meet at my home at Littledene, near Lewes.
"I am waiting to hear from my son-in-law before I leave with his little son by boat and train for Eng- land
Lord Warwick, who has not been home to England since August 1930, laughed at a report that he is dls- appointed with his luck in Hollywood, when I spoke to him from London.
"It's all nonsense that I'm through with flims," he told me curtly, os the ether waves ersekted and spurted. "FOUR BIG FILMS"
"I'm as hopeful as ever of making films and Hollywood my career. bave had lots of offers to make pic- fures, and I have, in fact, appeared in four of five big flims.
"What rloes it matter that. I sat around in Hollywood wailing for a part after being given a Metro- Goldwyn-Mayer contract? Lots of people have waited longer then I for their break, and it came at last.

Professor's View On "Ragging"

"In colleges, inter-year 'ragging' promotes a year spirit which is very Jasting; in fnet, the favourlie de- fence of organised ragging le just that it promotes auch
Spirit"
This opinion was expressed by Prof. H. Amon, of Raffles College, in on address at the weekly meeting of the Notary Club of Singapore.
Prof. Amen also defended the "old school

He was speaking on "The School Training for the Community,"

he touched on the important part school life played in the development and progress of a pupil quite apart. from the academic instruction he re- ceived.
