But the leaders arrived with several tetalled documents set- ling down the views of the different sections of the Labour Movement.

Two of the docu- ments

inevitable * There is nothing fore-ordained or about T.B. It is caught, not inherited. At any stage it can be arrested. And if, through regular X-ray examination, it is found early enough, treatment can be begun when it is easiest to cure. Its power lies in sinister secrecy.

We can all help cut down the threat of T.B. and the sorrow it causes in this Colony by supporting the organized movement of the Hongkong Anti- Tuberculosis Association to control and combat T.B.

In addition to the purely humanitarian aspects, the economic and financial loss to the individual concerned and their families, as well as the burden on the community caused by long and protracted illness must be taken into account.
