:
Marshal Li Chai-sum's official visit to H.E. the Governor. of Hong Kong has been briefly described in cables broadcast to all parts of the world. As the chairman of the Chinese Chamber of Commerce stated, a precedent was established by the invitation to Madame Li Chai-sum to reside at Government House as a guest.

all those who Full reports are now eagerly awaited have any interest in or connection with the Far East. Business men will be highly pleased to read the expert translations in the "Overland China Mail" of Marshal Li's pronouncements on vitally important subjects. Other friends will like the social side of the reports.
Interest will be sustained as Sir Cecil Clementi is visiting Canton. Make sure you get the "Overland." If you want to tell people what occurred-and how many are those who write who were actually, present at one function or another -send them a copy. It will obviate the necessity of laborious work in writing descriptions.
WHEN YOU GO ON LEAVE.
Hong Kong's spring exodus has begun. Are you going Home on leave this year? If you are, you will be surprised by the number of persons who will ask you about China and" Hong Kong. You will be astonished at the number and type of silly questions put to you in all good faith. And you will have to admit reluctantly (if only to yourself) that you are not quite certain. Will you be believed, though? Keep in. touch with Hong Kong and China by having the "Overland China Mail" sent to you for a stipulated period.
By spending a little time while you are on holiday, you can keep yourself well informed if you have the "Overland."" The articles which you will seek are written to help non- Chinese to understand. In any case, you will not regret, from › your own point of view, being posted with the main develop ments (reported in brief) while you are away.
