Overland China Mail.

A WEEK'S PAPERS IN ONE,

A decision to adopt a revised scale for the payment of sterling salaries of Civil Servants is to be put before the Legislative Council. Particulars of the new scale, formulated because of the unprecedented fall in the dollar, are given in the OVERLAND CHINA MAIL.

The OVERLAND CHINA MAIL also contains an exclu- sive account of a projected campaign to capture the talking- picture market in the Far East. A company has been formed, with its head office, and directors, in Hong Kong to co-operate with British producers and sound apparatus vendors, and will extend its business to Japan, Malaya, Siam, and the Dutch East Indies.

The trial of twelve suspected pirates, who were cap- tured by a British destroyer, after a warning message had been sent out by a merchant steamer which witnessed suspicious operations, continued in the Magistrate's Court during the week. Evidence of the officers of the s.s. Hang- sang, the steamer concerned, was taken. The OVERLAND CHINA MAIL contains a full report,

An interesting case concerning the right of the Govern ment to censor news was commenced in the Courts, when four Chinese newspapers were summoned for publishing matter not previously submitted to the Secretariat of Chinese Affairs. It was indicated that the defence would be that the Ordinance dealing with censorship was ultra vires to the Constitution of the Colony. Full details appear in the OVERLAND CHINA MAIL.

The OVERLAND CHINA MAIL also gives details of the stranding of the river steamer Kochow below Samshul, Several attempts to take her off have so far proved fruitless, The OVERLAND CHINA MAIL contains its usual special reports concerning sport and sporta activitles in the Colony, features being expert descriptions of the Interport "Soccer" and Rugby trial matches, and the exhibition golf match at Fanling between Cruickshank and Mehlhorn, stars from America, and two local amateurs.
