MOTHER OF HONG KONG SOLDIER RALLIES ON ARRIVAL OF SON AT HOME
London, To-day.
The considerate action of the War Office in order- ing the special release of Corporal John Walk- er, of the R.A.M.C., stationed in Hong Kong, has brought joy to his mother, who is on the danger list at St. Leonard's Hospital.
It was the mother's constant calls for her only son that induced Mr. E. Thirtle, Labour M.P. for Shoreditch, to intervene at the War Office.
>
.The latter telegraphed, instruc-, night, a day ahead of the "Dorset- tions to Hong Kong that Walker's shire." leave be advanced to enable him to hurry home.
His mother, who showed marked improvement on hearing that her The troopship "Dorsetshire" had son was returning, became still bet- sailed the previous day, but Walker ter when informed that John had caught the N.D.L. liner "Gneisenau” | arrived and would visit her this later and reached Southampton last morning.-Reuter.

OF CHAMBERLAIN SPEECH
Berlin, To-day. Comment in the leading Berlin newspapers on the speech which the British Prime Minister made at the jubilee banquet of the Foreign Press Association is restricted to a few marginal remarks to the effect that most of his arguments were sound and reasonable and address- ed to his opponents at home.
Some of the German papers make short reference to the fact that the German Ambassador found himself obliged to stay away.
The manner, however, in which this incident is reported shows a desire to avoid making a sensation of it.
The "Berliner Tageblatt" and the "Deutsche Allgemeine Zeitung" dismiss the matter as something not worth getting excited about although the latter paper points out that as the guest of the F.P.A., Mr. Chamberlain placed the Ger- man members in an exceedingly awkward position.
Had it been his intention to re- primand them it would have been more tactful to choose as theatre the House of Commons. The rules of after dinner speeches are, the paper adds, after all, the same in all countries. Trans-Ocean.
JAPAN REJECTS SOVIET OFFER
Moscow, To-day,
The Japanese Ambassador to Moscow, Mr. Togo, has informed |M. Litvinov, the Foreign Commissar, that the Japanese Government have rejected the proposals made on December 8 by the Soviet for settlement of the fisheries dispute.
The Soviet conditions, namely (1) diminution of the fishery waters by more than 10 per cent., (2) deter- mination of the shares in the areas without reference to former special arrangements, are, in the opinion of the Tokyo Government, not re- conciliable with the fishery rights hitherto conceded to the Japanese Trang-Ocean.
Quarantine restrictions imposed by the Government of Japan against arrivals from Hong Kong on account of cholera have been removed,
