OVERSEAS ROTARIANS WELCOMED

The Right Reverend Bishop R. Q0. Hall was the speaker at the weekly tiffin of the Rotary Club yesterday, when, under, the title of "From a Study Window" he spoke on the development of the city psychology as an aid to progress.

Business people, he said, should remember that, Hong Kong was be- coming more of a city and less of a Colony every day, and recogni tion, of that fact would foster à for- ward movement. The future was bound up with the Pacific, and would only be hindered by their looking back to England all the time, and living in the triumphs of the past.

Mr. M. K. Lo presided, and the following guests were welcomed: Messra D. N. Wadia (Calcutta), E. C. Murray Bathurst, New South Wales), Rotarians D. Cook, and F. Ham (Manila), W. C. Gomersal M. Pierce (Los Angeles), J. L (Shanghai), D. Smith (New York);
