Two incidents this week drew foreign attention once more to events in China. One is the departure of Sir John Duncan for England, the farewell to him in Shanghai being given considerable publicity all over the world. The other is the visit of Sir Miles Lampson to Shanghai, en route to the South, and the journey of Mr. A. H. F. Edwardes, acting Inspector-General of Customs.

Merchants in both hemispheres are interested in the problem of China's Customs tariff. Local hongs should keep their connections posted as to movements. Full reports appear in this week's “Overland,” Hong Kong has seen a partial revival in the share.and property markets, following developments in Canton, where the Reds are giving trouble but the Government is still firmly in control.

This week's "Overland" describes raids on places near the Colony's frontier. The news will provide informative reading to friends at Home. It is the duty of people out here to ensure full intelligence being sent regularly,

How Hong Kong Scotsmen celebrated Burns' Night, How the_triangular Interport golf tournament was played here, and how the Colony's Interport football teams fored at Shanghai are all mentioned in the "Overland China Mail,”
