To the Editor of the "Nonmu-Cumea Darwy News 'Sm,—Last weel a murderer, caught with' smoking gun on the scene the Jinkee Road battle early last month, was sentenced to two years and six months imprisonment by judge appointed by the Chinese Government at Hankow.
In an admirable editorial you] touched on the possibility that these tarrerist activities in the foreign areas may have game official backing; here your complete vindication, if any were needed, that some Chinese government officials condone the acts of these murdering thugs.
I wrote a letter someaweeks ago suggesting the formation of a. mill tary court composed of senior officers the Shenghai Defence Forces (American, British and Italian); any' person aught with a gun, bomb or other weapon be placed on trial and found guilty publicly executed, It seems rather strange to me that} tio Chinese public bodies have come forward to condemn these acts)
inst the well-being of innocent law-abiding Chinese and third party neutrals, That no foreigners have Been Involved in the ruthless killings fas been the work of divine providence, To take the shooting on Binkee Road, if this act had been staged say eight or ten minutes later Tim sure many foreign office workers (to say nothing of those having quick one at the Cathay Bar) might have been killed or wounded, To our much-abused Police (oc~ casionally 1 get very annoyed with] them when I receive a polite note from the 'TraMe Department) I take oft my hat; and to the members of the Russian Unit and the Defence Foreey standing guard or providing patrols in this weather, no words of! mine could adequately convey my' appretlation; but what on earth is the good of all this when a man is given two-and-a-half years in prison when he is caught shooting it out with the Police?
Chinese public bodies could be of great assistance to the authorities if they would explain to their less enlightened brethren that the International Settlement is a place of refuge for millions of Chinese ad is not a cockpit, All patriots, who want] to help their country can do 60 by proceeding forthwith to Hankow and play a man's part and not the sneaking tactics adopted by these cowardly murderers, In conclusion, I can understand the objection raised by some Chinese to the proposal to hand over culprits to} the Japanese authorities, but there can be no valid objection to the formation of a military court making it] unhealthy to pack artillery or carry' bombs in this International" Settlement, Acriox.

Complaint of Shortage To the Editor of the "Nonri-Cina Darcy News 'Sm—Permit me to congratulate 'Mas. 'Cito for her civie spirit in bringing to the attention of the public the lack of water in Vu Yuen Road houses through your correspondence column, In support' of her statements, would like also to bring to the attention of the powers -that be, that Lane 620 (Vu Yuen Road) not} fan from that mentioned in Mas. Cimo's letter, has had no continuous] supply of water for nearly two months, There are days when one could get water only as late as 11 O'clock at might, According to the landlord of the house where T live, he has taken up the matter with the Waterworks many times but with no result, It is needless to point out the hard~ ships and diflculties we are having due to the deficiency of the water supply, much less the urgent ° and essential need of water for sanitary, purposes, The publication of this humble letter will be appreciated, I am sure, by the unfortunate residents in that particular district of Vu Yuen Road. And I sincerely hope that those concerned in providing us water would soon do something to alleviate the situation.
