A WEEK'S PAPERS IN ONE
"OVERLAND CHINA MAIL"
CHINA NEWS, LOCAL NEWS
AND ALL THE NEWS
SEND IT HOME!
The special article on the suggested loop line to connect the Canton-Hankow and the Canton-Kowloon Railways has attracted considerable comment. The information given will be very useful for the future. The article is reproduced in full in this week's "Overland China Mail."
Several annual meetings of local public companies have been held. Full reports will be found in the "Overland.** Other than direct interest in the concerns, business men generally will find it profitable to send copies of the "Over- land"
away if only to show the recovery made by Hong Kong since 1925.
The event of the week has been Marshal Li Chai-sum's departure for Shanghai and Nanking. Hong Kong and Canton were disappointed. The effect of Marshal Li's visit on Sino- British relations is told in the "Overland."
:
All the week's local news, the cables and despatches on the China situation, comment and explanations by experts. will be found in the "Overland."China is again in the public. eye abroad, owing to the reduction of the Powers' demands anent last year's incident at Nanking. Keep for reference the reports about the latest developments. They will be helpful very soon.
WHEN YOU GO ON LEAVE. Hong Kong's spring exodus has begun. Are you going you are, you will be surprised Home on leave this year? If, by the number of persons who will ask you about Chins 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 i 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.
