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

They pamphlet ly one of forty-four pages and can be obtained from the South China Morning Post at a cost of--

FIFTY CENTS

from the additional tax.
