A WEEK'S PAPERS

IN ONE

“OVERLAND CHINA MAIL".

CHINA NEWS, LOCAL NEWS

AND ALL THE NEWS

SEND IT HOME!

Certain events during the past week help to illustrate the world-wide interest being taken in China, Japan, Tsinan and Manchuria.

In London, the Under-Foreign Secretary made two statements in Parliament. One was that Britain did not intend to interfere in the campaign of the Southerners, The later one was an admission that troops had been sent from Shanghai in preparedness for danger to Britons at Tientsin.

In spite of domestic politics, America- has had to divert some attention to China, what with the request for her moral support and suggestions that she should mediate. Then the U.S. Minister at Peking sent a Note warning the Nationalists.

Japan, of course, is very much in the limelight at the moment, internationally, în view of the statement made by the Vice-Minister of War, a soldier, who referred to Britain's policy of defending Shanghai last year and to American intervention in Nicaragua.

News from the spot will, therefore, be doubly welcome everywhere. To ensure getting your copy, get the "Over- land China Mail" at once as it contains a complete account of the week's events. It tells what is happening up North, how anti-Nipponism spread from port to port with- out becoming sensational, and how even in this British colony, a number of agitators man foul of the law.

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 nos ̈** 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
