CHINA NEWS. LOCAL NEWS

AND ALL THE NEWS

SEND IT HOME!

Just at a time when most people were hoping for a revival in trade came the news that some Chinese in Western China,, having engendered a boycott of things Japanese, had intimidated stevedores, into refraining from working a British ship's cargu. For once, immediate steps are being taken to prevent an impasse.

It is essential that British merchants in Hong Kong and China should do their duty to themselves by bringing such

· facts Home to everybody at Home. ·

Only this week, there have been further instances of ignorance of the situation out here-as evidenced in the tacit approval of Mr. F. Hussey-Freke's acquiescing in, Nationalist China's seizure of the Salt funds.

The "Overland China Mail""'contains an indictment of the Foreign Office policy. Send it Home to be read as widely as possible. It is the only illustrated weekly budget of "local" and "China" news published in Hong Kong. As such, it must be the best reading matter for friends in other parts of the world who evince-interest in China.

RESIDENTS BACK FROM- LEAVE

Many residents have just returned to Hong Kong after holidays at Home and elsewhere. For the first

few days one's conscience can be calmed by thoughts that time is needed to unpack and to get settled down again. Then that letter must go."

What you have to say for yourself no one else can write for you; but if you want to ease anxiety as to what is hap pening out here that is a task that the Overland China Mail" will do for you as it has invariably done in the past.

How many times were you stumped when somebody.. asked you about conditions in China? Show that you are at least thoughtful by sending them a copy of the "Overland.” That will tell them all they want to know.
