Is Opinion Of U.S. Expert

LONDON, June 20.

If a war broke out in the Far East, Great Britain would win after a war of attrition, declared the ex-Director of Naval Intelligence Division, Vice- Admiral C. V. Osborne in a radiocast speech.

He said: "I confidently pře dict that the result would be the stiffening of the Chinese resist- ance and ultimately Japan's ex- hausting defeat. This would

apply even if our main forces were engaged at home in a life- death struggle."

He said that there must be sufficient forces in European waters. Condi- tions between Great Britain and Japan would degenerate into a war of Navys. Any squadron which could be sent East at present would neces- sitate it acting on the defensive only. He said, "As it would be based at Singapore, it could not act on the offensive, but could protect Australia and New Zealand.”

He said that little help could be brought to China by sea, but it would

Meeting Held To Make Arrangements For The Swimming Interport

The meeting convened by the Victoria Recreation Club yesterday evening for the purpose of discussing the Interport contest against Shanghai this coming September, drew a very poor response from the Chinese Clubs of the Colony, only the Chinese Y.M.C.A. being represented. Clubs represented were European Y.M.C.A. and the Army and Victoria Recreation Club.

Opening the discussion, Mr. S. V. Gitlins, (V.R.C. Swimming Con- vener) said the V.R.C. had written to the Shanghai Amateur Swimming Association carlier in the season and as a result Shanghai had replied, In- viting the Colony, through the V.R.C. to send a team North either during the first or second week in Septem- ber and asking for confirmation of the events and method of awarding points.

The V.R.C. replied, accepting the invitation and submitted the follow ing events and method of scoring 50, 100, 220, 440 und 880 yards free- style, 100

yards back-stroke, 100 yard's breast-stroke, fancy diving (one meire board), 180 yards (teams of three) medley relay, 240 yards (teams of four) free-style relay and water-polo. Method of scoring will be 5, 3 and 1 for first, second and third places, repectively, and 5 points for the relays and water-polo.

Mr. D. F. Lopes said that if the Interport was to be held during the first fortnight September, the
