CHINA NEWS, LOCAL NEWS

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

Have you noticed the number of questions asked in the House of Commons about the British Fighting Forces in this part of the world? The cables this week have in- dicated clearly that people in the Old Country eagerly seek first-hand information as to what is going on out here.

Remember, Hong Kong is the headquarters of all three branches, the Royal Navy, the Army and the Royal Air Force. Admittedly, M.P.'s questions have been directed to stations outside Hong Kong as well, but those in charge are in this Colony.

And that is why Hong Kong is the logical place whence to ascertain what one should know. Discussion in the Commons has been about the "Hatching" piracy (and the gallant defence of officers of the Mercantile Marine) and also about the necessity of protection for British exiles from possible danger during recurrence of the Chinese civil war.

You will be doing a little towards making everybody at Home aware of developments out here. It is known that recipients of news items have passed the same along to their respective M.P.'s, thereby furnishing the substance of ques-` tions to Ministers. Who knows but that your folks on 'get. ting hold of reliable information may communicate with the "local" Member? And, by sending the matter, you may be the direct cause of some useful queries.

The logical paper to send, needless to say, is the "Overland China Mail," the only illustrated weekly news- budget published in Hong Kong, printed in good time to catch the post. It will supply what is desired and appre- ciated. Or give us the address and we will send it for you. We confidently predict a hearty welcome for it by all.

Letters to relativos and friends in other parts of the world frequently fail to be written by the most ardant correspondents. It i a kindly thought, therefore, to ensure that those away from the Colony, or folks at Home, should have an unfalling supply of Hong Kong and China news every week-bu
