The members of the Chinese official mission to this country were entertained to dinner on May 14th by the Sheffield. Chamber of Commerce.

Gon- eral S. T. Hau, head of the Mission; the Master Cutler. (Mr W, W. Wood; junior); Sir Henry, Hadow, ME K. C. Weng, Secretary of Civil Affairs; Dr. LF Lin, Director of Customs; General- T. Y Sung. Military Counsellor to the Presidency General M. To, Chief Military Bureau of the Presidency; Councillor & J. Robinson; Alderman H. P. Marsh: Mr. V. F.

Responding to the toast of the Chief Executive of the Chinese Government, proposed by the Chairman, Mr. Chao- Hsin Chu, said that Sheffield bad for a Jong time been a household ward to them. They had all been glad to see the many industrial marvels which had made She- feld's fume world-wide. That afternoon they had obtained during their visita of various works quite a good collection

(Laughter.) of pocket knives.

*Wê wish you could" persuade the people of the East to use knives and forks for menis instead of chop sticka," continued the speaker, who pointed out that succes in that direction would mean that the entlery works of Sheffield would be kept working day and night to produce a sufficient quantity of household articles to meet the requirements of the four hundred million people in his country. (Hear, hear. It would be interesting to acquaint them with the remarkable career of the Chief Executive of the Republic of China. A retired statesman last November, the Chief Executive was made bead of the Government not ben cause he was supported by military force, but because he was favoured, honoured, and respected by all the people through- out the country. (Hear, hear.)

AN OUTSTANDING PERSONALITY.

The head of the Chinese Republic had" po weapons in his hands beyond his outstanding personality. He was the only person to-day who could get along with all political Parties and control all military leaders. Farther, he was the only man who could be relied upon to put China's house in order. Chinese people were looking forward to the establishment of strong central Government in Peking. Efforts were also being made to reunite the whole country, and for that purpose the Chief Executive had summoned a people's con- ference in a month or 80. It had a very ambitious programme and would endeavour to reorganise the national finances. Steps "would also be taken to disband all surplus troops and to ad- just political differences among the dif- ferent provinces and thus restore cohesion in administration.
