A WEEK'S PAPERS IN ONE
"OVERLAND CHINA MAIL"
CHINA NEWS, LOCAL NEWS
AND ALL THE NEWS
| SEND IT HOME!
Everything of importance in connection with the visit of
H. E. the Governor to Canton has been reproduced in full in this week's "Overland China Mail." The best of the matter in our special correspondent's cables, despatches, the comment and news from other sources, will all be found.
Need we emphasise the epoch-making significance of the exchange of official calk? Canton banknotes have jumped from less than 30 to nearly 70 per cent. of face value. Canton Government securities have firmed up from under 20 to over 40 per cent. The confidence shown thus is certainly a good sign. It is up to British people in this Colony to do their duty by telling all their friends and business connections about it all.
How can you do it better than by sending the "Overland China Mail which not only contains detailed and accurate reports but also all the local news and China intelligence of the week.
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 Ma sent to you for a stipulated period.
T
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.
