China no longer existed. Mr. Chen and his Notes represented little than his personal opinion. The tools of the policy which had culminated the Nanking outrages were the unpaid Nationalist soldiery and the city mobs, but the organisa- tion and driving force were bortow. ed directly or indirectly from the Third International.

What Nanking May Have Done. This policy, by March, was direct ed against Marshal Chiang Kai

tory. The loss on coast exchange, however, proved to be a very seri ous item, and militated against any profit during the second half year's working.

Consulting Committee,

With much regret we have to re- port the death of Mr. W. E. Clark. The Hon. Mr. A. U. Lang resigned his seat on leaving the Colony. Sir Robert Ho Tung and Mr. L. J. Davies have been invited to fill these vacancice.
