CHINA NEWS, LOCAL NEWS AND ALL THE NEWS

SEND IT HOME!

Britain and France have extended official recognition to the National Government of China. The ceremonies, and " interchange of salutes at Nanking are fully reported in the "Overland China Mail," copies of which will be highly prized in other parts of the world.

The "Overland" is the only illustrated weekly budget of Hong Kong & China news. It is a welcome gift all the year round. It tells how Christmas was spent in the Colony.

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 case 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..

then

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.
