“OVERLAND CHINA MAIL?

CHINA NEWS, LOCAL NEWS

AND

ALL THE NEWS

SEND IT HOME!

Fears for the safety of Britons and other foreigners in Tientsin were revealed in a series of questions put to the Home Government this week. Needless to say, the situation in North China is attracting world-wide attention. The fact that Sir Austen Chamberlain deemed it necessary to make a long statement, and that Reuter cabled the proceedings at such length, is indication that the matter holds the greatest interest. But just as people in Hong Kong eagerly read every word sent over the wire, so will friends at Home anxiously await news from Hong Kong.

Full and exclusive information is reproduced in the "Overland China Mail" this week. How each step led to a slight but gradual decrease of the likelihood of hostilities is described in detail.

Even without the Tsinan incident between the Chinese and the Japanese, the fact that Tientsin is guarded by units of the great Powers--if only as a precautionary measure-is sufficient to make folks in other parts of the world wish ́to know more about what is going on. Each stage is carefully explained in the "Overland." The four tems presented by the Japanese as the basis for settling the Tainan clash, an article throwing light on the vexed question of "Who Fired First" and other items of topical interest will; as is the case. every week, be found in the current issue of 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 you' are away.
