THE BOY SCOUTS.
(To the Editor of the Hongkong Telegraph.)
Sir,-An Irish Unionist" evid- ently knows very little of the sime of the leaders of the Boy Scout movement and has no idea of the training a boy receives.
It is a non-military organiza- tion not confined to one particular seat. Locally the troop is a body of boys all of whom attend St. Jos eph's College or past pupils of the same but not all Catholies. The only mention of religion in the "promise" is "Loyalty to God and King."1 presume your cor- respondent dose no: object? I might also add the officer com- manding the senior boys is D non-Catholic as also is one of the assistant Scoutmasters.

SINO-BELGIAN Trust;
RESENTED BY CHINESE NEWSPAPERS.
Peking. Received June 11.
The projected Sinc-Belgian Trust is apparently not intended solely for oil development but for the exploitation of China's mineral wealth generally. It is proposed that China borrow her moiety from the Lelgians on the secur ity of the mineral deposits along the Lunghai and Tung- cheng railways.
The vernacular newspapors describe the concern as more harmful to Chinese interests than the Hanyelping loau.
