C.E.R. CONFERENCE
Harbin, March 26. The first meeting of the full board of the Chinese-Eastern Rail- way with all Chinese and Soviet directors present, was held this afternoon. According to the re- port issued following the meet- ing, many questions of secondary importance were settled, among them being a decision to abolish the Harbin meteriological station which had been financed by the railway. ask the Russian ministry of Com- It also was decided to munications to return all rolling stock belonging to the C.E.R. which was seized by the Soviet au- thorities and since has been held. A resolution was also adopted to reduce the number of supple mentary organisations which have been financed by the railway.
Perhaps the
most important action was a decision to change the coefficient value of the Russian
gold rouble in its relation to the local Harbin dollar. Previously the gold rouble has been estimated as having a value of 1.07 in local currency. In future the gold rouble will be estimated as having a value of 1.30 in Harbin

Allegations as to the disposition of funds, arising from the King Edward Hotel fire of 1929, were made at the examination in bankruptcy of two of the partners in the Hotel. The OVERLAND CHINA MAIL gives a complete re- port of the proceedings, together with communications afterward received from the solicitors in the matter.
Obvious flaws in the Building Ordinances, by, which the Building Authority may only "recommend" that up-to-date construction be specified by architects, whilst having no power to veto what are known as the Colony's "death traps" (wooden staircases), are exposed in the OVERLAND CHINA MAIL report upon the enquiry on the victims of the fatal fire at 12, Smithfield.
The personnel of a Government Committee appointed to enquire into the fall in the local currency and the whole silver question, is also given in the curbalt issue of the OVERLAND CHINA MAIL.
The interesting prospect of a new indry-that of the building of marine motors-being establis in Hong Kong, is alluded to in the Chairman's speech at the annual meeting of the Hong Kong and Whampoa Dock Company. meeting of considerable local interest, that of Messrs. A. S. Another Watson and Co., is also fully reported in the OVERLAND CHINA MAIL.
The arrival of the Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders, who take the place of the K.O.S.B. in the Colony's garrison, is also chronicled in the OVERLAND CHINA-MAİL.
Sport and athletics are dealt with by the OVERLAND CHINA MAIL'S staff of experts, special reports of the "big" matches in the Hong Kong Cricket Club tennis tournament being an additional welcome feature.
The situation in China, both North and South, is fully dealt with in the OVERLAND CHINA MAIL, which aims to place the whole facts of the situation, from every angle, before the reading public.
