Classes for training Chinese as wire- less telegraph operators are to be opened at the Technical Institute (Queen's Col lege) at the end of this month. The classes will be under the control of a wireless instructor appointed by the "British China Navigation Co., Ltd.
The third point in dispute relates to the Soviet demand

The Chinese Government fears that this would create a precedent which would lead to serious complica tions, and it is declared by the Chinese Government to be an improper re. quest. The nature of the difficulty in this connection is not explained in any detail in the Government's circular tele- gram, but what we wish to emphasise is that these three questions are declared by the Chinese Government to be the only points which remain in dispute: born Chinese of 18 to 21 years of age, and recommended by the Education Everything else in the agreement is Department as heing up to the required With these facts before him standard as regards knowledge of Eng- & accepted
