CHINA NEWS, LOCAL NEWS

and all the NEWS. The Weekly paper that saves you the trouble of writing Home.

Local news has been well to the fore during the past week, discussions centreing round an official report, on the subject of motor taxation, the condemnation of the rescue- tug. "Kau Sing," and the water supply restrictions, whilst in kgal and military circles great interest has been taken in the suit brought by the Bank against the Government as a sequel to the Carvalho Yeo case, and the court-martial of a corporal in the K.OS.B. has been alterded by very searching cross- examination of witnesses. There are all items that you cannot compress into the narrow compass of a letter - let the "Overland China Mail" be your news carrier Homeland, illustrated as fe by coloured photographs of local persons and local scenes.

China is faced with yet another Civil War, the belligerents this time being Kwangtung and Kwangsi. The developments in the war arena may well react unfavourably on the trade between Cantor and Hong Kong. In the "Overland China Mail" the whole situation is explained by experts.ID

Further afield the Duke of Gloucester has literally taken Japan by storm on his Garter Mission. Full cablegrams are reproduced in the "Overland China Mail" describing the main ceremony and the chief incidents in the Royal visit. These will reach the people at Home long before they can read them by mail from Japan.
