Balls llong Kong.

IONDON- Jan. 30 - (GP). - Mai-Gen. QM. Maitby, former British commander at l-Iong Kong. says that t.he 17-day defence uf‘ that Oriental bastion before iis_ surrender on Christmas Day. l94l,= was a "worthwhile Bumble." Details of the fall of Irlong Kong‘ appeared tonight as a supplement. to the Ipndon Gazette. ’l‘hey were, compiled by Msltby in a Japanesel prisoner of war camp and submit-- ted to the War Ministry on Nov]! 21. 1045, ‘ * i Maltby said his‘ forces deflected powerful Japanese units from more important objectives such as the Pfilllippinea. Singapore or perhaps: even Alhtralla. Forces attacking Hong Kong, he wrote in a Tl-psge‘; report, "consisted of two first-line, divisions, one reserve division.‘ corps artillery, about m aircraft and a considerable naval~ blockade. force." The colony's strength was six battalions.

"Strategically. we gambled and

ble. The Winnipeg Grenadlers and the Royal Rifles of Canada arriv- ed "inadequately trained for mod- ern war" under the conditions then existing 1H the island colony. He explained that tho two Canadian battalions had arrived Kong after a long sea voyagg and; were never employed in the rolai for which they were trained.

Tile fact that the Canadians,

came without transport - whlchl was aboard another ship diverted, to Australia - made the already. difficult transport situation "much worse." But he credited the Canadianl battalions, under the lesdershlpi, of Brig. J-K. Lawson of Ottawa who was killed in action, withi "many individual acts of gallant-l ry" and “stubborn defensive fghtn lng."

Maltby’! report was a story of a defence force handicapped by the absence 9f all‘ power. Naval units were weak with few anti-aircraft guns. Radar equipment was lack- ing. Transport was inadequate. "The manpower had to be diluted by Chinese of unknown reliability in wartime." _

He disclosed that c.vil authori- ties on Hong Kong were not ln a position to put their preliminary arrangements for defence of the island into force because of the widespread doubt that Japan ‘would declare war and the weak- ness of the British intelligence system.

British Dnbassy Tokyo "did not hdicate immed- late impending hostilities." The planned defence works were in- complete when the first blow was struck.

Prom the first Japanese air at- tack on Dec. l. only a few hours after the Pacific war began, until Hung Kong surrendered on Christ- mas afternoon, the outcome could never be in doubt.

cables from

0f the Grcnadlers and the Royals. the latter a Quebec urlli. lvraltby wrote:

"These two battalons proved to be inadequately trained for mod- ern war under the conditions ex- isting in Hung Kong. They had very recently arrived in f-long Kong after a long sea voyage and such time as was available had been devoted to the completion of the south shore defence and making themselves au fait with and prac- tising the problems of rollniering a south shore landing. I'll lhs lolc they never were lmployell and in- stead they found lilemseivcs coun- ter-attacking on steep hillsides cove-red with scrub, over strange country, and as a result they rap- idly became exhausted. Many in- dlvidual acts of gallantry were performed, their stubborn defen- sive fighting .. .. was marked, and the losses they incurred were heavy and are deeply regretted."

Maltby estimated that the de- fenders‘ fosses were 1.04s killed. 1.00s missing and 2.300 wounded. The Canad'sn‘ losses he estimated at 0o dead. s00 missing and 24A wounded of a total strength of 2.1M. The Japanese losses he as- tlmated at 3.000 killed and 9.000 wounded.

MARKET COMMITTEE

Submitted by Coun. M. A. Farm- er, v‘ llrmlm:

Your Market Committee has carried out the routine and usual. duties in connection with the sd- l ministration of the Market dur- ing the past year. No substantial changes have bean made. The convenience of the patrons of the Market and those holding stlllsi there has been given every can-i sideratlon.

The usualspring cleaning was carried out at Easter and reg llsr and routine cleanings and inspec- tions after each market day. it is recommended that the annual cleaning for this. year should com- mence earlier and that after it is completed that the painting in the interior be, renewed. l

The total receipts from the. nlllrkct during the ycal- i947 wc'e.i $8201.97. This ls the largest re-i turns of revenue to date from this‘, source. The expenditures ‘i ,.l.-l $7826.10. A modest balance of $375.87 appears from the year's operations.

Tax Arrears

Your Committee, which was set up for the collection of tax arrears, has had a very active year. Dur- ing 1946 a systematic series of notifications were given to terse owing tax arrears and ‘this Ifinlllt" ed in a substantial payment of lax arrears. During the year 194'? a follow-up was made to the uork commenced in 1040. Many per-l sons, who had tax arrears were anxious and willing to make pay- ment butcould not handle the full amount at one time. Those desiring installment payments were given the opportunity in pay in this manner. Your Committee felt that its work should be carried on with the lenr‘. hardship on

i

those owing arrears if this were possible. ‘ The total amount collected

during the year 19!’! was 924M054. making a. total of arrears collected by your Committee during ‘the two years, 194-6 and i947 of a104,- 746.52.

The tax arrears fore. ls a great deal batter it has been for a long time. The auditor's report indicates that‘ there is only $35,891.56 outstanding lax arrears collectable on real and personal assessments. The total amount owing on these items is in the vicinity of $100,000.00. There is also a substantial amount of Poll tax arrears which is_mostly un- collcctable.

It is recommended! (s) that this committee should be continued by the next Council with the view to having all collectable taxes gli- ten in and those which are found to be uncollectablo to be written off; (bl that in future no taxes should be permitted to remain in arrears beyond a. reasonable time. say six months, after the end of the year for which they are ss- sessed.

I wish to extend to my ‘r105’. iatcs on tllosc Committees, to yourself, and other nlclllllcrs o. this Council and the City cm-l pluyces, my appreciation for co-‘ operation and ‘assistance during the past year. \ ,

“TlHAT HAGEN GIRL" AT “CAPITOIP

Two against unall-lown gossip is die general tilellne of Warner bros.‘ strong ‘dream. “that llugan uLl," which co-sturs Ronald Reagan and Sllriley 'l‘elnple, the opening attrac- tion at the Capitol lllleulre today.

in the title role, Miss Temple has a. challenging a-notlonal assho- lnent which affords her wide range, This youthful star, endeared t0 lmlllllons who have followed ller ior years, lmcrgcs as a dramatic acl- ress in lhis picture.

Reagan is cast as a snail town lawyer lvhose nazne, along with that of the girl's, is dragged llhrough the mud by the words of idle gossip. As l-lie lawyer who l5 dynamically in- volved in Mary Hogan's past, it pru- sents hfin in one of his strongest screen roles. This part is really a character portrait for Reagan, which he. manages with lurked skill.

"That Hagen Girl" abounds in constant interest.

The Exilerts Say

By KAY REX (Canadian Press Slslf Wfler)

OTTAWA. Jan. .20 lCPl Food prices may cl mb, but should the housewife dig her" wartime cooking recipes out of the kitchen cupboard. she may find ltk still possible to save a little money. '

Take butter for instance. At more than ‘l0 cents a pound, the mother q! a large family now finds this stable product a luxury. Here's s, wartime rec pe for ex‘- panclcd butter, which will make her supply stretch farther.

Ingredients: one cup butler (one half pound); one cup cream; one teaspoon of gelatlne ln one table- spoon water; one-half teaspoon salt; three drops coloring.

Make butter soft, but not melted; put the coloring and gelstlne in cream and mix into butter a spoonful at a Urne. _

To save butter;

1. Instead of‘ using butter in baking cakes, cookies, try other mild-flavored fats.

2. Grease pans with m‘ld- flavored fats.

3. Drippinps from beef and lamb roasts can be used in meat and vegetable rllshes_ for pan-frying. '4. Mix butter with vegetables after they are in the serving-dish. In this way there will be none lost in’ the saucepan.

5. Use grated cheese on vege- tables in place of butter.

8. For table use. mrlke ind vidual servings as butter halls or squares.

7. For sandwiches bcaf nlle- fllmrt" flip mil or W018i‘ into rne- half cup soft r ot melted» butler.

Bacterial Warfare May Be‘ Answer

MONTREAL. Jan. 30 - (OP) - Bacterial warfare may be the ter- rible answer to man's search for a mode of waging war that would cause casualties but leave the at- lacked territory unscathed, Dr. 1‘. Roscbuly of Columbia University told the Canadian Association of Scientific Worklrs last night. '

Defence against bacterial war lay mainly in detection and iden- tlllcalion. but such-a defence could only follow disclosure of actual cases.
