Children's Manners

To the Editor,

The "Hongkong Telegraph." Sir, Is courtesy a part of the curriculum in Hongkong schools? The school-children, both European and Chinese who board the buses in Kowloon en route to and from schools are the inost l-mannered beasts it has ever been my mistorlune to come across.

Saturday,

I would like to invite some of our educational instructors, who have the task of moulding the characters of these children, to attempt to board No. 7 bus while they are about.

parcels knocked out of my arms in the rush had picked them and, by the time up (none of the children offered to do so for me) was the last to board bus in which all the seats adolescents who by were taken giggled at my misfortune. Two three days go an old Indy would have been knocked over If I had not aided her.

Something really should be done to teach these children that respect for their elders is a characteristic of all well-bred children.

The military skill with which Finland is defending itself is a direct legacy from the Finnish Bullonal hero, Field Marshal Man- nerheim, concludes the "Times."

The strain on Finland's resources King is stressed by all papera. Gustav's speech will give Finland powerful reinforcement, comments the "Daily Telegraph,"

When Gustav promised military help, he looked forward to the collo- boration of the Nordic Rates and others not bound by alliances. This, he said, was essential for the defence of their common interest and of peace. One of the consequences not fore- seen by Hitler and Stalin when they concluded their thieves' bargain, concludes the "Dally Telegraph," was that the cooperation of Northern Europe would make it ineffectual.

Hitler is Worried AMSTERDAM, Jan. 12 (Reuter). Hitler, according to the latest indica- Tions, is keener than ever to see the end of the Finnish war,

His main reasons seem to be a fear that the help to Finland may develop into an extension of the war in Western Europe, and the suspicion that Russia's Finnish adventure is seriously hampering Germen-Russian trade negotiations.

Nazi Paper Urges Peace The

"Koelninche-Zeitung" to-day publishes a despatch from Stockholm dealing with the subject of mediation und peace in Finland.

It says: "In Denmark and Sweden, and even in Finland, responsible circles are pointing out with renewed urgency that now is the right mo- ment moment that may recur--lo resume Finnish-Russian negotiations, possibly under medla tion by a neighbouring Power."

There is no mention of what at- titude Russin is likely to take, but such a statement appearing in the German Press strictly-controlled clearly reflects Germany's desire for peace in Finland and also confirms the rumours that Hitler may openly propose himself as mediator between Finland and Russia.
