Franco Says Bombing of Britons Unintentional

ESTABLISHMENT OF PROTECTED PORT WOULD END MENACE

Insurgent Chief Urges Civilian Evacuation From Military Towns

London, June 28.

General Francisco Franco, the Insurgent leader, categorically denied that Insurgent airmen had deliberately attacked British steamers in an interview to-day with the Correspondent of the London Times.

The Insurgent leader declared that Loyalist anti- aircraft guns forced Insurgent planes to fly at a great height and to attack their objectives suddenly and without warning, and it was impossible to distinguish between British and other shipping lying in Spanish harbours.

General Franco emphasised, however, that Insurgent airmen were instructed to seek out only targets of military or strategic importance and, since harbours are naturally included in this category, attacks have often been concentrated on them.

"Republican Spanish harbours arej The Spanish Government, the Note strongly fortined with anti-alrcraft į sietes, is grateful to the British Gove guns, and seaport cities contain the crnment for its expression of opinion principal armament factories of the on the Insurgent bestbings of the Reds," General Franco declared,

URGES BRITAIN TO GUARANTEE

London, June 28.

Mr. G. le M.

Sir John Simon referred Mr. Mander to the reply by the Under-Secretary for Foreign Affairs to a similar question by Capt. Peter MacDonald, Conservative Member for the Isle of Wight, when Mr. Butler had said that the British Government was continuing to examine the question which, he added, raised many difficulties.

"Is it not important for the British interests at stake, if for no other reuson, that action on these lines is justified?" asked Mr. Mander in a supplementary question.

Memorial Exhibition Organised

Young Artist Died Here Before His Work Was Known

one

Two very interesting events are | Inking place under the auspices of the Hongkong Working Artists' Guild early in July. The first, on July 6, and 8, at the Chinese Chamber of Commerce, is a memorial exhibition of the paintings of the late Mr. Wong Ol-Hung. This gifted young artist who was

of the most promising puplis of Mr. Ko Kim-fu, the foun- of what may be called Modern Chinese Art, arrived in the Colony a few weeks ago as refugee. His pictures

were shown in the St. Francis Hotel, but, because both his home and his work were unknown, his show was not a success. He was already suffering from advanced tuberculosis, and he died shortly afterwards in the Tung Wah Eastern Hospital,

It is with the dual purpose of making his pictures known to the public and of selling some of them to provide financial support for his mother, that the exhibtiion is now being held. A memorial meeting of his friends and admirers is taking place at 5.30 p.m. on July 6.

The second event is a rare and important one in the artistle life of the Colony. Dr. Emma Milch- Bormann, the lustrious Viennese artist, has shown her sympathy for the Chinese in the present conflet by sending a number of her wood- cuts for sale in aid of the Chinese Red Cross. These will be shown in the Cathedral Hail, by the courtesy of the Bishop, on July 11, 12 and 13. These woodcuts have an international fame, many of them having been acquired by the British Muscum and the Metropolitan Muscum, New York. Some of the pictures of Mr. Wong Ol-hung will also be shown, on this occasion.

Mr. Jack Chen, son of Mr. Eugene Chen, has recently formed a federa- tion of Chinese Artists, of which the Working Artists' Guild is the Hang- kang centre. In the name of the Federation he is taking an exhibition of Chinese paintings round the world In a few weeks' time. All artists interested in the Federation, or those who desire to contribute works to the exhibition, either for sale or merely to be shown, ure asked to municate with the secretary at 51 Gloucester Road, top Boor.

FOOT ITCH

Athlete's Foot

According to the Govern➡

ment Health Bulletin No. E-20, at least 60% of the

adult population of the United States are being attacked by the disease known as Athlete's Foot,

Usually the discaso starts between the toes. Little watery blistera form, and the skin cracks and peels. After a while, the Itching becomes intense, and you feel as though you would like to scratch of all the skin.

BEWARE OF IT SPREADING Often the disease travels all over the bottom of the feet. The soles of your feet become red and swollen. The skin also cracks and peels, and the itching becomes worse and worse.

Get rid of this disease as quickly as possible, because it is very contagious and it may go to your hands or even to the under arm or crotch of the legs.

Most people who have Athlete's Foot have tried all kinds of remedies to cure it without success. Ordinary germicides, ant!- septica, salve or ointments seldom do any good.

HERE'S HOW TO TREAT IT

The germ that causes the disease is known as Tinea Trichophy- ton. It burles itself deep in the tissues of the sdn and is very hard to kill. A fest mnde shows it takes 16 minutes of bolling to kill the germ; no you can see why ordinary remedles are unsuccessful. II. F. was developed solely for the purpose of treating Athlete's Foot. It is a liquid that penetrates and dries quickly." You just paint the affected parts. It peels off the tissue of the skin where the germ breeds.

ITCHING STOPS IMMEDIATELY As soon as you apply H. F. you will find that the itching la Immediately relieved. You should print the infected parts with H. F. night and morning until your feet are well. Usually this takes from three to ten days, although in severe cases it may tako longer or in mild cases less time.

H. F. will leave the skin soft and smooth. You will marvel ot the quick way It brings you relief; especially if you are one of those who have tried for years to get rid of Athlete's Foot without
