At the beginning of next week a travelling van loaded with hundreds of tins of condensed milk, and voluntarily staffed by the wives of several Government officials, will tour the New Territories and distribute 5,000 tins each week to the babies of poor Chinese families.

At yesterday's meeting of UNRRA's Far Eastern Council here a resolution on waterways by U.S. tranhport submitted delegate Gilpatrick was carried by aix votes to two (China and the Soviet) with two abaten- tions.
