WHY NOT?

The Rector of Lambeth, the Rev. Llewelyn Jones, had a warm re- ception and gave his blessing to the new adventure for God and the good of the men, women and children around. Some, he said, would be scandalised with a Cinema in a Church, for deep down in all there was a spice of conservatism, But they must, look at more than they could see, and notice the motive behind the action, which was that

CHINA NEWS, LOCAL NEWS

AND ALL THE NEWS

SEND IT HOME!:

For exhilarating and attractive reading matter. the current issue of the "Overland China- Mail" will be hard to beat. There is an abundance of "stories" and articles which

will please all tastes.

The last Home mail to hand. showed that considerable prominence was given to the "Anking" piracy. This week's "Overland", tells of a dramatic sequela rare event the prosecution of one alleged to have been a member of the gang. On top of this comes the report of an attack on another British vessel, the "Shasi," on which persons of British, American, French and Chinese nationality were robbed. Then: came the news of a wholesale round-up of the miscreants.

J

Other piracy reports in the "Overland" refer to the steps taken in the West River (exclusive to the "Overland"), the execution on "gentry" receivers, and the clash between Com- munists and the "Anking" horde at Honghai. Bay (also exclusive).

In the sphere of politics, there is the rather chaturbing cable announcing differences between Britain and France on the one hand and Japan on the other in regard to China's salt administration.

Locally, there has been much of interest; the Colony's improving finances; the new turn taken by the Chinese Government which may adversely affect the foreign carriage of emigrants; the arrival of a British battalion new to Hong Kong, British Naval cruises; session of the Licensing Board; a graphic chase of robbers by a Briton, etc.

Above all, the Overland China Mail" is the only weekly budget of news published in Hong Kong which is illustrated and illustrated profusely.
