· EASTERN, EXTENSION.

FOR THE POOR OF THE EAST DISTRICT,

$380,000 RAISED BY CHINESE COMMUNITY.

The Military sports ground at Sookunpoo presented a festive appearance yesterday afternoon. The railings were draped with.. red and white cloth and at the end of the valley two brightly decorated matsheds had been erected, the ascent to which was gained by a flight of carpeted" steps under an archway hung with flags. Under the smaller of the two- eheds was the inscribed foundation stone of the eastern extension of the Tung Wa Hospital.

A large gathering of people. Europeans and Chinese, was already assembled when the Sand of the K.O.S.B.'s struck up "God Save the King" and "the Government House party was "acea to be entering the feld. His Excellency the Goverdor, Sir" Cecil Clementi, KC.M.G, who laid the foundation etone, was "accompanied by Lady Clementi and Captaig Whyte, A.D.C., and among the four hundred or so persons present were many mem 'bers of the medical profession and a number of prominent Chinees

gentlemen.

His Excellency in the course of a speech delivered after he had declared the foundation store to be "Well and truly laid " said that the Tung Wa Hospital was known and respected every- where for its charitable activities, and had lived up to the full spirit of the words inscribed over its gateway "Do good with all your heart.

The report "of the Union In- surance Society of Canton, Ltd., ing of shareholders on Friday, to be presented at the annual meet May 28th, states:-

Replying to questions asked, by Sir R. Thomas (Anglesey, L) and Mr. Riley (Dewsbury, Lab.) in the House of Commons on March 28th, Sir A. Chamberlain, Secretary fas Foreign Affairs, said:The only operative instrument for controlling. the supply of arms to China for civil war purposes is the China Arme Embargo Agreement of 1919. The effectiveness of this Agreement has been largely impaired by the fact that some of the principal arms. supplying States, notably Germany, Czecho-Slovakia, and the Union of Socialist Soviet Republics, are not parties to it. The possibility of making the embargo more fully effective was considered at a meet- ing of the Diplomatic body, in Peking on February 21st last, when the German Minister declared the readiness of his Government to accede to the Agreement. The meeting decided that an identic telegram should be sent by all the representatives to their respective Governmenta drawing attention to the importance of the Agreement and to the necessity for preventing the, exportation of arms and muni tions of war to China, and express. ing the conviction that those Powers who have not yet taken any mea- duced to do so as soon as possible. sures in this respect should be in- On March 1st the Japanese Minister
