There is no doubt that the Chinese people, who have never before been so conscious of their identity as a nation, ara animously backing the Cntr Government to the limit.

I have had a crowded week full of pre-Christmas" activitias.

On Thursday I went to a party to the Arcadians. This amusing effort of the Philharmonic Society did not seem to be enjoying much popularity.

To those sitting upstairs on that evening, it seemed that the cast rather outnumbered the audience. The performers were not dashed by this in the very least. They seem- ed to be enjoying themselves enormously.

Mrs. Winter and Mrs. Valentine as two unsophisticated Arcadians sang agreeably and Miss Fullerton gave a vigorous rendering of the part of the gay widow, Mrs. Smith. Mr. Cockle was amusing as Sim- plicitas but I enjoyed Mr. Eimpson as the weary jockey better than anything else in the whole per- formance. The male cast was dis-

CHINA REVIEW

Chinese Shipping

Intering views are contained in the report issued by the members of the Chinese Industrial Mission who have just concluded a success- ful visit to the South Seas.

Sponsored by the Chinese Manufactures' Export Association. Shanghal, the mission came to Malaya early this year in the course of a tour through Siam, Malaya, the Dutch East Indies, Philippine Is- lands, Indo-China, etc.

Excerpts from the report are as follows: The large number of our oversea countrymen who are scattered in different regions of South Sea Islands, and the large scope of cargo transportation are two main points which fully justify the demand for a Chinese-owned mail service.

At present there is only one single route on which Chinese ships are runing regularly-between 'Amoy and Sinapore. Therefore, we ze-

Chinese Military Attache

On his way back to his post in Paris, as Milltary Attache to the Chinese Embassy, another Chinese General passed through Singapore recently after conferring with the Government, at Nanking.

He is youngish, General Tang Che, and was reluctant to give any Information to reporters regarding his misson, when interviewed on arrival from Shanghal by the Messageries Maritimes liner President Doumer. He was met by the Chinese Counsel-General at Singapore. Mr. Kao Ling Pal

Questioned about the Brussels Conference, the General, who is a close friend of Dr. Wellington Koo, shrugged his shoulders.

"Other nations in the world should co-operate with us in our struggle against a common enemy. We are not fighting to save Chins alone," he said.

A fluent French linguist, General Tang Che is returning to Paris. for the second time
