THE CHINA MAIL, FEBRUARY 13, 1941.

WASHINGTON NOT SURPRISED

While terms of the armistice between Indo-China and Thailand are still not officially dis- closed, reports from the Far East that Japan has used the occasion to get more out of it than anyone else surprise none in Washington, indeed it had been fully expected.

The general view of the situation is that Japan has secured through the fiction of mediation what she might otherwise have had to fight for.

well ahead of all competitors, In the medium- the price class, for instance, no other sets on market can compare with the famous G.E.C. 7 & 8 valve models.

Two points, perhaps, where their superiority is: most striking are their quality of reproduction and quality of construction. Both features are matters of supreme importance to the listener and both, fortunately, are points which you can easily check for yourself before purchasing. Ask for a free trial of one of these sets in your own home. Listen carefully to the quality of re-. production. Exomine closely. the fine workman- ship. Test the set carefully from every other point of view; and you'll understand at once why we say with such confidence "British radio leads the field."
