OVERLAND CHINA MAIL.
IS HONG KONG BEHIND SHANGHAI?
ነ
The accusation is frequently made that Hong Kong is always behind Shanghai. Residents in the Northern port have got together for the purpose of sending propaganda in the Old Country. In their own interests Hong Kong people should see that everybody they know at Home is kept correctly informed about China.
A glance at the sources from which cables are being sent here every day will show that the eyes of the world are focussed on China, particularly with regard to British interests. In a British Colony so close to China, you will be expected by folks at Home to keep them posted..
Why waste time in laborious letter writing when you can send the week's news at very little cost and with no trouble?
With thousands of troops leaving the Mother Country for China, millions of people will be following their movements. Let, your friends at Home know what they keenly desire to know.

Then there is the duty one has to performs. That is giving the lie to distorted versions emanating from irresponsible
sources.
The "Overland China Mail" acts as an impartial summary of news and comment. Send it along by the next mail as proof direct of statements that deserve all the backing you can give.
