SEND IT HOME!

CHINA IS NOW MAKING A START TO RECOGNISE HER OBLIGATIONS TO OTHER NATIONS.

On good authority it has been learned this week that the Nationalist Government intends to restore the British Consulate building at Nanking to the condition it was in prior to March. 1927. We have been told that the agree- ment with contractors is as good as signed.

In itself, repairs to one solitary building do not mean much especially after a period of consistent clamouring for the jettisoning of Treaties concluded in the past in good faith. But it is the beginning. IT IS, IN FACT, THE FIRST OBSTACLE THE NATIONALISTS HAVE TO CLEAR TO SET IN MOTION THE MACHINERY FOR PUTTING BRITISH- CHINESE RELATIONS ON A SOUND FOOTING.

The major steps, of course, is the settlement of the unfortunate Nanking Incident of March, 1927. And this week has been a momentous one in the annals of Sino-British diplomacy; Important statements have been made by the Home Government thereant. Just as important despatches have been published in Hong Kong on the same topic.

In the circumstances, a short review in newsy form of what has transpired will be welcome in all parts of the world, but particularly so in Britain. A colleague on leave, a friend who has never baen out here, your relatives and your business connection are bound to appreciate the thoughtfulness shown in posting the publication which tells them what they want to know.

This publication, of course, is the "OVERLAND CHINA MAIL," the only illustrated weekly summary of China and local events printed in Hong Kong. As usual, the Hong Kong features, pictures, etc., have been included.
