Mr. James stated that with this new Chinese Union under the chair- manship of a man liko Mr. Leung, who aimed at the dispersal of all Communistic elements, there was no reason why the Union should not work in harmony with the shipping owners, for after all, the interests of the latter, were also those of the sca men themselves.
Mr. de Bruyn, who spoke in similar terms, stressed the need of co-opera- tion between employers and employees of the shipping business, which was bound to secure profit for both parties.

Leung, Secretary of the was the next speaker and he en- Chinese Seamen's Associated Union, phasised the great, necessity of co- operation and sympathy from all communities, particularly the foreign shipping owners.
