The New China Mail, Tinterual part of the newspaper

THE China Mail, which has been an

world in Hongkong for more than à century, today takes on a new ap- pearance as well as, a slightly new. function. Its appearance, we hope, will please the eye of readers, and its modified function, that of being an evening paper instead of a morning daily, will adequately fill a gap in English journalism from which ✨ the Colony has suffered since 1941. In fact, the Chinn Mail reverts to what it was, before the Pacific War--a late afternoon dailyAs such it occupied a distinguished place in local foreign journalism up to the occupation of Hongkong by the Japanese, and it will be the aim of the new management and editofial staff of the China Mall not only to retain the paper's distinguish- ed record, but to enhance it.. The "China" Mail is also one of the most unique of the Colony's newspapers. It la the oldest, and, its continuity of publication remained unbroken until December 25, 1941, when the surren-. der of Hongkong made it impossible for, the paper: to make any further ap pearance until September 9, 1945- fow days after Liboration. The end ¡of the Pacífic conflict found the China Mall being produced as a morning dally an interesting departure from ite almost contury-old tradition, and as auch it has functioned until now. The now China Mail which we offer readers today intends to follow the best pro- cepta and traditions of the British Prema Its first aim will ho to present

a

to the public of Hongkong the latest and accurate news of the day, both local and foreign. This is the prime function of any newspaper worthy of the name and the new Ching Mall in- tends that it shall be known in Hongkong 38 'one of the most reliable newspapers in its handling of the current news.

China The Mail is also setting out to give to readers informative and enter- taining reading material not to be obtained from any other newspaper in Hongkong. Its features department will, we feel confident, be unapproach- able. In this respect the emphasis is placed on catering to all tastes manifestly imposing task, but one which the China Mail will strive to accomplish. Thus, comic strips · as well as serious articles, sports as well as cartoons, a section for the children as well as a regular space devoted to women's interests, are included in the- new China Mail, and are designed to ~contributo towards its readability and ita, attractiveness. Editorially the China Mail will strive to be firm, fair, impartial, and where necessary in the interests of the public, critical, but de- termined always to preserve its in tegrity as a newspaper honestly re- flecting public opinion. It will not seok to serve any particular interests, but will endeavour always to have in mind its sober responsibilities to the general public of Hongkong With this in mind the now China Mall presents itself to the Colony..........
