The trade of Canton showed signs of improvement during the first six months of 1924, but a collapse in the latter half of the year.resulted in the total net value of the import and export trade showing a decrease ot some 18 million taels as com- pared with 1928. The chief causes of this collapse were the

And if this is not sufficient there Is this pregnant sentence, reflect- ing hardly on the Administration in Canton: Another factor tending to hamper trade was the Increase of piracy during the year."

(With Apologies to R. W. Service).

You have told us of the Yukon, and the trials you had there,

Of the snow bound trails you've broken, when you drove the ice

wolf from its lair,

Of the gold you sought, which created a lust

And the "hooch" you bought with that shining dust.

Of the cremation of Sam McGee and the shooting of Dan McGrew

Of Northern Lights and bitter nights, when the world was alone

with you.

The Law of the Yukon called for the best

Men who had grit and could stand the test.

You tried them hard and their strength they sold For how many lived to enjoy their gold?

Men there are scores of types-take these two You've heard of one but-wait till I'm through,

Hast heard of the year one alne one four When blood was spilt and they called for more, Of the aching hearts when women did grieve Of the last half hour in a three days leave

Of the powder and shot, the gas and the stench- As they dog themselves' in, in a Flanders trench; Of the deadly rays of the Mespot sun When heat-stroke, fever and cholera won; Of the gallant stand at Gallipoli they took When Turkish shells ravaged every nook; Of the tortures they bore my pen cannot tell Unsurpassed as it is by the demons in hell. Twas not gold they sought, when thus they fought But Honour and Peace with their lives they bought. We gave our best and they sure had grit They proved their "metal" when they did their bit.

One fought for gold, perhaps for Fame, The other his Honour and Country's name, He who did both man sublimemos, His bare shall liye throughout all time. But to him that died in a foreign field We must, first place in Honour yield Remembering that his life he did give So that you and I, in this world may live.
