PREMIER'S HOLIDAY.

VISITING AIX-L BAINS

London, Aug. 22. Mr. and Mrs. Stanley Baldwin" have gone to Aix-les-Bains for a holidayReuter.

Under the heading of "What is Wrong With China." Mr. Chin Jin-hsia is contributing ä very in- teresting series of articles to the North China Daily News, the fifth of this series making its appear anee on Monday last." Mr. Chin has already found an extremely for midable list of "wrongs" And one wonders whether he has left any undiscovered. But the value of the writer's articles lies not in the fact that they recite what is wrong (most of us could enumerate many things) but because they suggest remedies and point the way along which improvement might be made. One of the greatest curses of China is the appalling weight of poverty under which the people suffer, and the particular article under notice deals exhaustively with. that problem. The majority of the Chinese live from hand to mouth with never a hope of saving. Mr. Rodney Gilbert has put it thus: "Every man in China has an inalienable right to a bare exist ence, but if he wants more than that be will have to fight a very cruel and ruthless world to get it...Man's right to happiness is not conceded but his right to crawl along in misery is. The incessant struggle for a little more than this, in an over-populated country with

There are other indi- cations, also, that all is not well with the Kuominchun armies, who are said to have begun a general retreat in the direction of Pinti- chuan, although in Hunan the Allled forces appear to have aut- fered a reverse.
