London, April 10. The rumours centre round the theory that Pu Yi is to visit the tombs of his ancestors near Peking and will need adequate proection south of the Wall

They presumably arise from the garbling of his announcement that he will send an emissary (probably, Prince PUn) to pay His respects at the Pel Ling tombs on the outskirts of Mukden.

Here are buried the forerunners of the Ching dynasty, who origin- ally came down on China from Manchuria.

The Pei Ling tombs, set in a grove of oaks and firs which is curiously English in its sphere. are a favourite destina

They are, however, out of bounds in the summer, when the kinollang (millet) in the surrounding fields grows to a height of ten feet, thus facilitating the national sport of banditry.

MEGAN AND GWILYM

I notice that Mr. A. F. Cum- mings mentions to-day a rumour that Miss Megan Lloyd George and her brother Gwilym contemplate. joining the Labour Party.

As far as Megan is concerned. I very much doubt it.

Her filial plety is of an intensity rare in this generation. She will not change her political classifica- tion unless her father decides to do so too.

His father. Prince Mehmed- Szelim. lives at Beyrouth in the winter and on the Lebanon in the

summer.
