Industrial Concerns

Cars for sightseeing will be pro- vided by the Canton Government.

The foregoing visits will occupy of Saturday. the daylight hours

The Memorial to the Seventy- two Heroes of the Revolution 1911 is of special interest on ne- count of the additions to it, in the form of marble blocks, presented by Chinese communities abroad, principally from the British Dominions and the United States of America.

Sun Yat-sen University One of the items on the pro- grammo bears the intriguing title of "A Visit to Yellow Grandma's of this Cave." The meaning quaint title will doubtless be ex- pätned to the visitors; itis,in fact, the site of the Afforestation Headquarters of the Sun Yat-sen

back of White Cloud Mountain. Thence the party will be taken to the Chinese Country Club, which is most pleasantly situated among the hills about ten miles further out. If time permits, a short visit will be paid on the return journey to the Sun Yat-sen Uni- versity, which occupies grounds of 1,600 acres, among the hills of Shekpai.

It will be appreciated that no effort has been spared by the hosts to make the stay of the Hongkong visitors both informative and on- joyable.

In the course of this strenuous programme opportunities will no doubt arise for those interchanges of view which are such an import- ant part of meetings of this kind. It is to be hoped that the result may be still closer co-operation between Canton. and Hongkong, which is so necessary if the dif ficulties in the way of trade in these days of world depression aro to be overcomo.-
