Local officialdom is now much

more optimistic, and it appears that contrary to previous rumours Chang Fat Fui's revolt is merely an innlated enee, and got part of a concerted move by several anti- Chiang Kai Shek generals.

At a Press dinner last night, Liu Chih emphatically denied that Tang Seng Chi, Fong Chen Wu, and others were turning against the Government. He stated that these were merely rumours, instigated by reactionaries, while the latest re- ports from the north-west indicate that the situation there is normal, and that the Kuominchun were not contemplating moving, as previously reported.

It now generally conceded that Chang Fat Fui's action was due to

the fact that plans were being set afoot for the disbandraent of the "Ironsides," while Chang wishes

to maintain his command intact.

Sir Eric Geddes, speaking at the ways, Limited, said the mail traffic annual meeting of Imperial Air- on the Indian route was not in- creasing so rapidly as had been hoped.

The problem of providing ground accommodation for passengers was only soluble gradually. It would be folly to sink capital in building in the desert, on the Persian Gulf, or in African Equatorial forests, until right halts had been perman- ently fixed, and a route selected.

It was the Board's aim to continue the India service to Australia. The negotiations with the Indian Gov- ernment for a permanent Karachi- Delhi-Calcutta service had been in- conclusive.

Budget Adopted.

The Assembly before closing adopted a Budget for 1930 of a total of 24,210,000 gold francs, and also agreed to the First Committee's re- port and the resolution with regard to the Chinese resolution relating to treaties no longer applicable, and approved by the Constitution-Com- mittee.

The Financial Times expresses the opinion that the liabilities of the Hatry Group are unlikely to exceed £20.000.000,, and that the loss will not be very widespread.

It will not, it is thought, involve to a very large extent the investing public and thus any extensive re- percussion throughout the City and Provinces may happily not be anticipated.
