COMING TEST MATCH.
To the Editor of the Chine Mail
Sir-With reference to your invitation for forecasts of Eng- band's team in the second test match I beg to point out that the Selection Committee's task is rendered more difficult by our victory in the first match. My contention may seem strange but I would remind your readers of South Africa's amazing rally in their second innings when they collared the bowling, to borrow Reuter's description. I sincerely believe the selectors are concerned with our attack and. this is, my reason for thinking that changes will be made.

The Manchester Clumber of Commerce has sent to the Foreign Office a resolution expressing its grave apprehension at the action of the inority of Commoners the 16th in voting against the second reading of the Ching in deminity Application Bill, and ex- pressing its disagreement with the reason offered for such artion. It says that to delay carrying out the promise made on belialf of Britain to China in 1922 would not only be undignified but would assuredly bring discredit upon Britain. The Chamber holds that to ture such an act of grace into a means of bargaining would not assist, but on the contrary would prejudica un- favourably the negotiations now
