"In some places there were im- portant Indian communities, and, spid Mr. MacDonald, "we must re- cognise the right of those people to express their opinion on a question all-important to them. We must at- tach full weight and force to those opinions."

It would be impossible even to consider any alteration in the status of those territories without giving full regard to the spontaneous views of the inhabitants. Morcover, those people had certain treaty rights and interests which must be fully guarded and secured.

Mr. MacDonald also emphasised that it would be impossible for Government to do anything with regard to this matter without the House of Commons having the ful- lest opportunity for discussion.

Exterminating Opium Evil

Chungking, Dec. B.

At a Chinese Cabinet meeting un Tuesday it was unanimously de- rided, despite the present war, that he Chinese Government must do its utmost exterminate the oplum vil throughout China, declared a spokesman of the Executive yesterday afternoon.

|

This description may give a false Impression to some of your readers, There are no "concentration camps" In the New Territories. There are some camps provided by the Govern ment and these are entered freely and not by compulsion. The Gov- ernment provides food for all who are in them. Apart from those in the camps flere are tens of thousands of refugees being fed in an organised way by some groups of Chinese societies and by the Emergency Refugee Counell, which distributes supplies to centres in need of

them. Elsewhere in your paper last night there was an appeal to those who wish to help the refugees not to do it by Indiscriminate distribution of bread and biscuits but by working through some of the existing societies that are providing regular meals. The needs of the refugees are so great that anything like waste or over- lapping is grently to be deplored.

Warm clothing and covering are greatly needed for the refugees at the present moment. The Emergency Refugee Council is very anxious to receive gifts of quilts, blankets and warm clothes, and also of towels and soap. It will see that these things will be distributed among those who are in greatest need of them. Money

spent in providing them will be of grenter help to the refugees than it It is used in purchasing bread and Yuan biscuits.

He stated that the Cabinet had

Murderess Goes To Electric Chair

Columbus, Ohio, Dec. 7.

Only a few hours before she was due to go to the electric chair, law-: yers made a final attempt to saVC | the life of the 31. year-old German Mrs. Anna Hahn, convicted of mur der in the first degree.

!

As a last legal step counsel sought writ mandamus in the Federal Court contending that she had not been given a proper opportunity to defend herself.

The writ, however, was refused at the last moment.

Mrs. Hahn was in a pitiable state all day long, and her condition was so critical that a doctor was sum- moned to administer her spirits of ammonia and black coffee.

She was found guilty 13 months. ago of the murder of Jacob Wagner, a reüred gardener,

As the guards ßxed the straps she shouted to the warden:
