First, there was the sensational arrest of eleven Chinese men and two woman, and the seizure of 40 forged $80 (1923 issue) banknotes of the Hong Kong and Shanghai Banking Corporation, hidden under a pile of wood on a piece of ground on which the construction of a house is proceeding at Jardine's- bazaar. Subsequent police raids at various addresses' resulted in the unearthing of a small printing out- ft, and copper plates bearing im- pressions of a $10 note of the Four of Central Bank of China. the arrested men have already been committed to the next Criminal Sessions by Mr. R.

of gifts during the Festive Season. Has it ever struck you that there are some presents which will be appreciated, especially in other parts of the world? You are strongly recommended to hand in an address to the "Overland China Mail" — the only. illustrated weekly news budget published in Hong Kong-for numbers to be sent for any period you like. The senders are. assured of the approbation of those receiving the "Overland."

For years the "Overland." full of informative articles, "local" and "Chma" news, and topical pictures (supplied by the pioneer service in the Colony), has served as a strong link: between Hong Kong and people aliewhere.

Concurrent with the simultaneous exposure of Communist activities in Hong Kong and in Canton, a special article has been; included in the "Overland dealing with the "Christian General," who is alleged in, some quarters to be a Red still. The article also explains how Britain and other countries view. the Soviet policy towards China, a policy portending-dire results to the world if it were allowed to have effect.

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.
