University Candidates, The Committee draws attention to an impression which exists, and which is in need of correction, that

Colonial for

appointments in which a university standard of education is needed, candidates are mainly sought from Oxford or Cambridge. The Committee analy. ses the appointments made in the last few years, which leads it to the conclusion that no real grounds exist for the suggestion that the older universities have anything like, a monopoly of Colonial ap.. pointments. The Committee, how- ever, advises that every effort should be made to increase the grale of recruitment in the newer univer aitics."

PILOTS AT ICHANG RESUME WORK.

STRIKERS RETURN UNCONDITIONALLY.

The strike of, Chinese pilots on the Upper Yangtsze, which has shown signs of breaking down for the past fortnight or so, came to an end last week, when the pilots at Ichang resumed work uncondi tionally. This strike started on February 19 when the pilots pre- sented exorbitant demands to the companies, and at the time it also. seemed possible that general labour strike at Ichang might take place.

Through making concessions, saya the M-C. Daily News, some upper river ships have continued to run through the period of the strike, though the British shipping com- panies did not give way to the pilots. A short time ago, however, there was a spilt in the ranks of the strikers, the Szechuan men be- ing perfectly willing to carry on at the old rate of pay which, incid- entally, is good. The Hunanese in- sisted on carrying on with the
