MR. EUGENE CHEN'S OFFICIAL MANIFESTO. First place in this week's news must be given to the hitch in the Hankow negotiations between Britain's representa- tive and Mr. Eugene Chen, the Nationalist Foreign Minister and to the subsequent resumption.
Mr. Eugene Chen's official manifesto is reproduced in the latest issue of the "Overland China Mail," together with detailed reports of current events at the Treaty Ports, Side by side- with the wireless and cables concerning the developments in various centres, Mr. Chen's statement will make interesting read- ing for the thousands of people at Home and elsewhere who are every day asking for information about China.
In, comparatively, a minor way.. there has been trouble during the week at other points on the Yangtse River Wit the footnotes and explanations printed in the "Overland China Mail" folks in the Old Country will be able to grasp the situation.
"
The "Overland" also records how the British forces arrived here and reports the up-country outrages on foreigners.
All the "local" news and every "China" message of the week will also be found together with news on the lighter side of life in Hong Kong and South Chinaıı yak
