"OVERLAND CHINA MAIL"

CHINA NEWS, LOCAL NEWS

AND ALL

THE NEWS

SEND IT HOME!

Harmonious relations between Canton and Hong Kong are such that an event of outstanding importance has been recorded this week. Marshal Li Chai-sum is to honour Hong Kong with an official visit and Sir Cecil Clementi will return the compliment.

In the interests of trade, or mutual understanding, or letting people at Home know what progress has been made towards restoring amity, residents should make the most of the opportunity. Misconceptions should be removed for the benefit of Hong Kong and its people.

A very effective way to do so is to inform friends and busi- ness connections of the happy prospect in view. Let them read the latest number of the "Overland China Mail" which contains the week's news. The news will back up your arguments convincingly.

This week's "Overland" describes, the welcome given by Canton to the British Minister; preparations for receiving General Li Chai-sum are recorded; speeches of the Colony's leading merchants--who one and all speak with confidence of the immediate future-are reproduced, in the "Overland." --Do your duty by sending the "Overland. China Mail" to those who do not know.

WHEN YOU GO ON LEAVE. ¿

Hong Kong's spring exodus has begun. Are you going Home on leave this year? If you are, you will be surprised: by the number of persons who will ask you about China and Hong Kong. You will be astonished at the number and type of silly questions put to you in all good faith. And you will have to admit reluctantly (if only to yourself) that you are not quite certain. Will you be believed, though? . Keep in touch with Hong Kong and China by having the "Overland China Mail" sent to you for a stipulated period.

By spending a little time while you are on holiday, you: can keep yourself well informed if you have the "Overland." The articles which you will seek are written to help non-, Chinese to understand. In any case, you will not regret,, from your own point of view. being posted with the main develop- ments (reported in brief) while you are away.
