KILLED
The Hong Kong Chinese community commemorated the 28th anniversary of the Republic of China this morn- ing.
The whole town was bedecked with Chinese and British flags flying from roof-tops and short masts outside shops and department stores.
All schools were closed and all businesses suspended transactions.
The representative meeting of all organisations at King's Theatre was cancelled, but under the Chairmanship
of Mr. Li Kim-fung, Chairman of the Hong Kong Chinese Journalists' As- sociation and Chief Editor of the "In- dustrial and Commercial Press," a mass meeting was held in the Queen's Theatre at 9.30 a.m.
Among the speakers were the Hon. Sir Robert Kotewall, Sir Shouson Chow, the Hon. Mr. M. K. Lo, the Hon. Mr. T. N. Chau and Mr. Li Tse- fong.
The five local Chinese Women's war rellef organisations held their meeting the football ground at Caroline
on
Hill.
TURKEY AND SOVIET
Moscow, To-day. Russia has ratified the pact with Latvia which gives her further naval and air bases.--Reuter.
Moscow, To-day. The Soviet-Turkish negotiations are still held up,
M. Sarojoglu, the Turkish Foreign Minister, has been doing nothing in the seven days since he was last received by M. Molotov, the Soviet Premier and Foreign Minister.-Reuter.
The turning of the tables so complete-
It at last can be said, with real truth, that never before in the history of China's struggle for liberation has the future appeared so bright.
The end is not yet, but it is begin- ning to emerge into view.
It is not an occasion for wild re- joicing, but one for national reaffirma- tion of determination to fight on until the final victory is won.
LARGEST CITY LARGER
London remains the largest City in the world-and it is still growing, ac- cording to "London Statistics 1936-38", issued by the London County Council. This volume tells how in 1937, last period for which figures
are a avail- able, there was an increase of 80.- the total to 8,655,000. This compares with New York's 7,000,000.

The administrative county, how- ever, that inner ring of the vast me- tropolis which forms Greater London and spreads over 693 square miles, is steadily losing inhabitants.
The po- pulation of this area was at its high- est in 1901--4,536,276: Since then it has continued to fall until in 1938 It was 4,002,800.
DECLINE IN PUPILS
The growth of Greater London at the expense of the administrative county, according to this survey, is reflected in the decreasing number of elementary, school children in the county. Their numbers have dropped from 900,000 in 1915 to 543,600 in 1937. This decline in school popula- tion is proportionately much larger than the decrease in the total popula- tion of the county.
Much of Greater London's growth in population is said to be due to the concentration of a large proportion of the newer industries around London and consequent migration of workers from other districts.
