To crown several veeks of terrorist acts in the British Crown Colony of
Hong Kong comes the latest a communist terrorist bomb snuffed out the
lives of two innocent children in the North Point district of Hong Kong
island. The blast instantly killed an eight-year-old Chinese girl and
fatally injured her two-year-old brother. The children vere passing by

police inspector, according to reports, with tears streaming down his
cheeks, growled with almost uncontrollable rage, "My God, this is
murder. Flain stark murder." This would be the reaction of any one
anywhere in the world, for the sentiment of humanity is the same whether
in Piccadilly Circus, Fifth venue or even at the fed Square. most
cowardly murder will be condemned by one and all. This senseless killing
of the innocent by conscienceless leftist holli- gans, we are sure, is

For every terrorist
