WE HAVE THE BIGGEST AND MOST UNIQUE COLLECTION OF LOCAL AND CHINESE SCENES. Moderate rates, Punctuality and Excellent Quality.

A WEEK'S PAPERS IN ONE.

At long last it seems that a definite move is to be made against the out-and-out Communists who have been over- running Hankow and other Yangtse ports for the best part of six months. Together with foreigners, the main military factions are beginning, to realise that the first step towards the salvation of China must necessarily be the extermination of the Borodin-Eugene Chen clique.

With this end in view, political experts see the imminence of a north and south truce, with the Communists as the common enemy. How the hotch-potch Chinese situation has material- ised into something definite is fully told in this week's "Overland Mail."

This issue also contains the cream of the local news of the week. It will keep those at Home in touch with what is happening in Hong Kong. in China and throughout the Far East generally. Let us mail it for you.
