This concluded the evidence.

Mr. Remedios contended that the petition should be granted as Pasco's conduct in the Court had been nothing else but honesty itself. He had been elling the truth throughout, and as regards the other liablities not men- loned the reason was because they concerned only himself.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

N.T. CAMPS

To the Editor,

Hongkong Telegraph.

Sir,-A picture on the front page

of your paper last night showed a truck loaded with bread, and this was described as one of the long line that went out bearing bread to "starving Refugees" in the "concen- tration camps" in the New Terri tories

This description may give a false impression to some of your readers. There are no "concentration camps" in the New Territories. There are come 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 there are tens of thousands of refugees being fed in an organised way by some groups of Chinese societies and by the

Emergen Refugee Council, which supplies to centres in need of them.

Di

Elsewhere in your paper fast night there was an appeal to those who wish to help the refugees not to do it by Indiscriminate distribution bread and blacults 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- lupoing is greatly 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 greater help to the refugees than if it is used in purchasing bread and biscuits.

at Mr. R. Edwardo

the Central Magistracy this morning and formal date for hearing of the case was fix- ed for December 13 at 2.30 p.m.

Mr. C. A. S. Russ is appearing for the defendant who is on bail of $280.

CORRECTION

Our attention has been drawn to n slight error which appeared in our interview with the Postmaster General In yesterday's issue. It was staled that a penny is reckosed to be equal to 30 gold centimes and that, as near as makes no difference, la 80 cents Hongkong money.

We are informed that a penny is reckoned by the London Post Ofee to equal 10 gold centimes so that if there is a deficiency of a 11⁄2d on a letter this doubled equals 30 gold centimes and that, as near as maites: no difference, is 30 cents Hongkong money.

It should also be explained that no letters of any kind should be en- closed in a parcel, a Christmas card containing no more than four words may, however, be enclosed.
