CURIOUS CHINESE QUERIES,

Mr. Harold P. Mills, United Press correspondent in. Shanghai, writes, to the. Manila' papers on September 20:

General John B. Duncan, com- mandtr of the Shanghai defence force, in an interview with Chinese newspapermen, representing local Chinese newspapers, made a strong bid for discontinuance of anti- British propagands.

wero ushered into the general's presence and after much bowing on the part of the Chinese Including the usual, custom of shaking hands with themselves, the interview began.

The interview greatly differed from the sort of a foreign news- paperman, say an American, would conduct. The American journalist might ask about the general's health, remark on the weather and then get down to business. Not so with the Chinese.
