A great reception was given to Mr. Im by the Cham- ber of Commerce and more than 200 representatives of various organisations gave him a tumultu-

The s.8. San Nam Hoi, from Hong Kong, has been aground in this part of the West River delta. After China New Year, the Hong Kong steamboats Paul Beau and Charles Hardouin ceased coming here, so that the number of boats between the two ports has been reduced to two each day. Accordingly, pas- sage money has been raised to its

maximum.

Chinese New Year

In spite of Government prohibi- tion, Chinese New Year was cele- brated here in time-honoured fashion. There was one exception, namely, the Sunning Railway work- ed as usual instead of enjoying a holiday.

Cargo junks, especially those in the valuable fruit trade, have been held up of late, but passenger town boats have been maintained as usual, excepting of course, for the New Year holidays.

It further proposes that the maximum size of aircraft carriers should be reduced to 25,000 tons, and that their age be 26 years In- stead of 20.

Empire and Cruisers Regarding cruisers, the memor andum recalls that it was assum- ed during the recent British American conversations that they should be grouped in one category which, in

It was also assumed during the negotiations that the requirements the British commonwealth would be 339,000 tons, divided into 50 cruisers.

The British Government pro- poses that the existing tonnage limit of 8-inch cruisers should remain at 10,000 tons, and that there should be a tonnage limit for smaller vessels at about 6,000 or 7,000 tons.

It suggests that only a fixed proportion it the latter class should be built up to that limit, and that the life of cruisers 'should be 20 years.

for destroyers 1,500 tons, with 8-inch guns maximum for both classes.
