ROAD TO CANTON

Reports of the bombing of the newly-completed motor road from Kowloon to Canton may not have caused much immediate concern to residents of Hong Kong but, at the same time, while this highway is in the news, "the opportunity might be taken of pointing out what an immensely Important link It is between Kwangtung and Hong Kong.

Although the volume of tramc is not yet very great, it will increase rapidly as soon as peaceful con- ditions are restored, 'At the mo- ment it might be of interest to review the events which have led up to the completion of the high-

way.

For years the completion of the road had been talked of but no progress was made-sometimes the British authorities were against it, sometimes the Kwarigtung 20- thorities.

Some Ave years ago Colonel Hayley Bell visited the Colony and tried to arrange for this road to be completed but without success.

MALAYAN REVIEW

Empire Exhibition

The fact that the Malayan Court at the Glasgow Empire Exhibi- tion will have a floor space of 5,500 square feet of the Colonial section, and the next largest exhibitor among the Colonies, the West Indies, will have only 1,600 square feet, shows the extent of the interest the Malayan Government is taking in the exhibition.

Judging from the nucleus of the Malayan Court, which is steadily taking shape at the hall of the Malayan Agri-Horticultural Associa- tion, the Malayan exhibits ought to arouse Intense interest. The work of Mr. and Mrs. Wentacher, both sculpture and paintings; gives a very realistic impression of now twɩ of Malaya's greatest industries.... rubber and pineapple, are carried on.

To those in England, whose only acquaintance with the pineapple is in the tinned form, the three large canvasses prepared by Mr. Wentscher, and the models by Mrs. Wentscher, should provide very
