"OVERLAND CHINA MAIL"
CHINA NEWS, LOCAL NEWS
AND ALL THE NEWS
SEND IT HOME!
Because of the Easter Holidays, this week's "Overland". China Mail" appears on Thursday instead of Friday..
Several events of world importance are recorded. All that has led up to the present position as regards the Nanking incident has been reproduced, including the reports of the American settlement with the Nationalist Government.
Other matters in China are described and commented upon in the "Overland.”
Locally, there have been a number of events, the reports on which, extending over several days, will be found together in handy form in the "Overland China Mail.”
The week's local news, sports articles, weddings, and com- pany meeting proceedings are, as usual, in the "Overland."
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 are away.
