Equally striking is the opinion offered by a medical authority that the recent epidemie was traceable to one centre-Kow- loon City-and that the out- break was caused through lack of proper sanitation in the poorer dwelling houses. If this opinion is accepted by the au- thorltles it clearly indicates an urgent need for legislation to correct the situation. It is not sufficient to prove that in- adequate sanitation in a centre. part of the Colony is responsible for an epidemic and to leave it vessel sailing || at that. Those responsible for such dwelling houses must be made to provide proper sanita- Lion, otherwise we face the pros- pect of annual cholera epidemics of increasing virulency.

A day or two ago hu radio told the world (Europe and the Far East in particular) that the London-

"Chicago, correspondent of the Daily News" had wired to his paper that Southampton is a wrecked and ruined port.

Now, in fact, what the "Dally Newe Correspondait had cabled that day was bit different. He had not mentioned Bouthampton by name, at nil.

He had just said that, by all the rellable evidence he could collect, the German bombers in all their raids had not even seriously damaged one sero- drome or port, or shipyard or munition works of any military importance.

They had put just one factory out of operation for 24 hours. And thắt le'ail, That's the truth. But Brother Joset Goebbels badly wants to tell the world that Britain is down, out terrified, wtarving and on her beam ends,
