The communication above referred to goes on to say that Mr. Montague Ede, General Manager of the Union Insurance Society of Canton, Ltd. is responsible for having induced the Federation to assume the direction of the Bureau in his country As readers on your side, tre aware, the Burcan was inaugurated in order to provide an essential link between the home manufacturer and the distribut ing merchant in China on the one hand. and the milions of people in this country on the other.
In fature the direction of the Bureau's activities in London will be placed under the superintendence of Mr. Henry Hob den, who is now in charge of the China Section of the Overseas Trade Depart ment of the Federation. He is recognis. ed as an authority on trade conditions in China, and during the latter part of the war was one of Sir Arthur Steel Maitland's principal assistants in the Overseas Department of the Board of Trade.

The men acting against the advice of their leaders came out on a demand for 15/- a week increase, refusing to accept a rise
of 5/ offered them, and the consideration of other out- standing questions. Now, after Lender ing much suffering in which their families were so inevitably involved, they are returning to work on the terms which they would have already got had they stuck to their agreement instead of precipitat ing a struggle.
