No, I'm no' anxious to tell yo onything about China, for the very simple reason that I know next to nothing about it. Wo aye leave that kind of informa tion to the tourists and the Lan- don magazines.—(Laughter). As it is, you can tell me more inter- esting things about yourselves than I could ever hope to tell about the Chinaman. As for telling yo about myself it's a habit I've been cured of years ago. Speaking of oneself is never pro- fitable either in pocket or pro stige.
