This week's "Overland China Mail" is well worth sending away to friends as an indicator of what is happening out here.

In its wider extent, the impasse between China and Russia has, naturally, occupied the attention of most of the world's leading capitals. Much has passed along the cables and radio, but news from Hong Kong. at the very door of China, one of the parties concerned, must surely be welcome

In the local sphere, the water problem again occupies pride of place. There is the bursting of the tank with alarming consequences (with pictures) and the new legislation to make those with meters pay more than they have done.

A local steamer, with more than 700 souls aboard, has gone ashore. A full report appears in the "Overland," in which will be found pictures of a well-known harbour launch foundering.

Other items include the lavestiture of recipients of King's Birthday honours, by HE, the Governor, the murder of a Houg Kong Indian Policeman; deaths of respected residents of the Colony and, particularly for the information of the shipping corumunity, the amalgamation of the Seamen's Institute (hitherto under the Missions to Seamen) and the Sailors' Home (conducted by a board of trustees).
