Importance was attached by the leading papers at Home to this week's developments in China. It shows that interest is not waning. In fact, at this stage, with several epoch- making events to chronicle, there is an abundance of China news which will make welcome reading, in detail, to people in other parts of the world.
The Nationalist flag has gone up in Manchuria, indicating (at least) the nominal extension of unification to outside China, Proper. The Dibandment Conference has opened. Mr. Edwardes has sent in his resignation as officiating Inspector- General of the Chinese Maritime Customs. His action was followed by figures showing a record year of revenue, due to the boont in imports, to avoid; as far as possible, the higher - Tariff to come in force on Feb. 1
The "Overland China Mail," the only illustrated weekly news budget published in Hong Kong, contains informative articles and reports concerning these matters.
"Local" news is also fully covered," among which are occurrences such as the three Police raids on alleged Com- munists in the Colony, the sentence to death of a man con- victed of making part in the piracy of a British ship, the trouble among the complement of the British 5.3. "Darcoila,” and how Hong Kong spent the remainder of the festive season.
