entire programme was received. Reception was so good that if a Taylor had been af shorthand writer he could have taken a com- plete note of an address which was given in the early part of the

programme.

The concert was received from the Chelmsford station which has the call sign 65W, and works on a wavelength of 24 metres. It was 4.30 yesterday morning (Hong- kong time) when Mr. Taylor heard the announcer say ""London, Daventry and Manchester call Ing. Wo will now switch over to the Memorial Hall, Manchester..

Then followed an overture play

Questioned with regard to the printed circular which was sent to sixteen lawyers in Macao, M. Leo Hysan said he wrote that him self and about 25 copies were printed.

At quarter to six the announcer stated that "The Man of Destiny," a play by Bernard Shaw, would be presented by the McDonna players, Mr. McDonna taking the role of Napoleon. The announcer regretted that Mr. Bernard Shaw was unable to be present.

Mr. Taylor was able to follow the complete play it being received with perfect clarity. At times the voice of the actor taking the part of Napoleon was received at RO strength.

If all the lawyers are acting for you, you meaning your company, it would be a little difficult for others to get legal assistance?— No. I think there are others.
