WORLD CRISIS

A WAY OUT

By FREDERICK COPE, A.M.İ.E.E.”

Mr. Copo's striking articles on the world economic crisis which were recently published in the Hongkong Telegraph are now available in pamphlet form.

The pamphlet is one of forty-four pages and be obtained from the South China Morning Post af a cost
