CROWN LAND SALES.

THREE LOTS DISPOSED OF YESTERDAY

Three allotments of Crown land, two in Kowloon and one in Hongkong, were sold at auction yesterday at prices slightly in excess of those re- ceived three years ago.

They are much criticised by the Nationalist Press, which points out that whilst the Tardieu Gov- ernment is still officially in charge. the official delegate has no right to express views which are dif- ferent from the French offrinl policy.
