KWEICHOW PROGRESSING
IN VARIOUS FIELDS
Erstwhile a poor and backward province, Kwelchow is making notable progress in various fields under the capable administra- tion of Governor Wa Ting-chang.
Politically, besides the enforcement of the New District Ad- ministration System, many other reforms have been introduced. In particular, the civil service personnel has been improved and strengthened.

JOBS FOR INDIAN VOLUNTEERS
The Viceroy Lord Linlithgow
has had under consideration the necessity of taking steps to ensure
that the services of all destring to
assist in prosecution of the war should be utilized to the fullest ex- tent, states a Government com- munique.
Youths suitable for emergency commissions are called for. also those suitable for civil employ- ment. There are reasons to be- Heve that such persons may hest- Late to apply for emergency com- missions, fearing to lose perman- ently their chances of civil employ- ment after the war.
The Viceroy considers it destr- able to remove these apprehen- sions. It has therefore been decid- led to leave 50 per cent, of annual vacancies occurring in the Indian civil service and Indian police un- filled, to be made available after the war to suitable candidates with war service.
