Experts are agreed that the time is now ripe for rapid progress in Canton where conditions have again settled down to normal. Improvement in the Canton situation means increased trade for Hong Kong. And increased trade is some- thing worth booming all over the world.
How better times have set in is explained carefully and simply in the "Overland China Mail."

Tell them how Hong Kong has once more found plenty to spend at the annual races, how Canton is sincere in her policy to put down pirates, bandits and Communists- and how the outlook now is better than for nearly three years;
