China New Year Meeting

The following are the results of any more romance" than in road the competitions held at Farling travel:

during the China New Year Meet- ing:-

(From A Corespondent)

London, Jan. 18. Mr. Allen Leeper's CM.G. has given great satisfaction at the Foreign Office. Mr. Leeper is at present lying gravely ill after a severe abdominal operation.

The breakdown of his health was directly traceable to overwork dur- ing the years when he was Foreign Office representative at the Dis- armament Conference.

He and his brother, Mr. Rex Leeper-who also bears the name of Allen-are two of the Foreign Office "aces."

When Mr. Allen Leeper's life was despaired of it was Sir Robert. Van- sittart who in the middle of the night found a surgeon to perform ⚫ the operation.

In the Antipodes

I hear from a friend who has been attending the Melbourne Centenary celebrations that Mr. Malcolm MacDonald (Under Secre- tary for the Dominions) has had a great success on his Australian tour.

The only place where his 'recep- tlon was not extremely warnt was in Tasmania. There the Socialist Prime Ministeż, Mr. A, E, Ogilvie, had recently glven vent to explosive criticism of Mr. MacDonald's father.

However, any difficulty. was avolded by the Prime Minister's absence from Hobart during Mt. MacDonald's visit

The Launceston Examiner

comments on the fact that Mr. MacDonald and Mr. William Teel- ing, who is representing the Over- seas League, allotted only a few days of their tour to the island. Both appear to have regretted it.

Bicycle, Camel and Yak Mr. Teeling, by the way, has add- ed a new form of travel to his list. He has hiked all over England, Germany, and the United States. Now he has been bicycling in Aus-

tralia. 16

After leaving Australasia he goes to Japan and China. He will at- tempt to cross Mongolia by air. After a six months Journey by camel and yak over Marco Polo's. route to Urumtsi and Kashgar, he hopes to enter India over the 15,0001t, Tibetan passes.

Incidentally he went from Bin- gapore to Melbourne as the fourth navigation officer of a Swedish benzine tanker.

The King's Naval Record Although the Prince of Wales, now promoted full Admiral, has salled many thousands of miles in various ships of the Royal Navy, his actual service at sea was very short compared with that of his father.

The King rose step by step through all ranks to that of Com- mander, to which he was promoted in 1801.

"

In the following year he com- missioned the cruiser Melampus, and commanded her as Acting Captain for the naval manoeuvres. His Majesty's previous commands were torpedo-boat No. 79 and the gunboat Thrush. In the latter he spent a year on the North Ameri- can station.

During his term in command of the torpedo-boat he had the ex- perience of being called to aid a vessel in distress.

Saar Returning Officer Mr. Ben Greene, of Berkhamsted; who has been appointed chief deputy returning officer for the Saar plebiscite, took an active part. in an acute Socialist controversy at Hastings in 1933.

He edited a small journal called the "Labour Candidate," which discussed the policy and pro- gramme of the party and was especially methods.

High Scoring Game

No fewer than twelve goals were scored in the "Shanghai v. Combined Services” soccer match which was played at Causeway Bay yesterday, and which resulted in a win for the visitors by seven goals to five.

There was a very small attendance present, and prior to the match, the players were introduced to His Excellency, the Governor, Sir William Peel, KCMG., KBE, who was an interested spectator throughout together with His Excellency Sir Leslie Wilson, the Governor of Queensland, Sir Thomas Southern, KEE, and Commodore F.
