AGREED.

CHINESE AS PRESIDENT!

(Reuter's Service.)

London, Aug. 4.

In the House of Commony, in answer to questions, Mr. Ronald McNeill, Under Secretary for Foreign Affairs, said that the principal Powers concerned had now agreed in principle regarding the judicial commission of inquiry into Shanghai disturbances. The precise procedure to be followed was still being discussed, also the composition of the committee, but presumably the commission itself

would decide which of. ita mem- bers would preside.

Captain Wedgwood Benn asked would the British representative on the commission" favour "the appointment of a Chinese as pre- sident.

Mr. McNeill said that the Gov- ernment desired the commission to have the advantage of a Chinese judge thereon but the matter had not been definitely decided.

PRINCE AND SOUTH AFRICA

HAPPY MEMORIES.

(Reuter's Service.)

Pretoria, Aug. 4. The Prince of Wales has sent a wireless message to the Governor- General expressing his gratitude for the wonderful hospitality of South Africa and declaring that he will always cherish the happi- est recollections of the country.

He says that one of the most encouraging memories of the tour will certainly be the large num- bers of happy, healthy children who greeted him everywhere and who will, he knows, realise their good fortune and grow up to be good citizens, in a land endowed with an unrivalled climate and boundless possibilities of develop- ment, with confident hope in their own future.

The Prince concludes: "I was very sad at leaving you all and can only say au revoir."
