"Telegraph" Special Correspondent

THE "Telegraph" learns from an authoritative source that the composition of the local Committee which will be in charge of the arrangements for the celebrations on the occasion of the Coronation of H. M. King Edward VIII will be announced in the very near future.

The Committee, it is understood, will be practically identical with that which successfully arranged the local celebrations on the occasion of the Silver Jubilee of the late King George V and Queen Mary.

The Coronation Committee will comprise fourteen sub- Committees.

A feature of the local programmes will be a combined Review of all the Services. Arrangements for this will probably be in the hands of the Commodore, a representative of the Army, Hongkong; the Officer in Charge of the Royal Air Force, the Commandant of the Hongkong Volunteer Defence Corps and the Commanding Officer, H.K.N.V.F.

The task of illuminating the Colony will be in the hands of two sub-Committees, one of which will take charge of arrangements afloat and the other ashore.

The sub-Committee in charge of illuminations afloat will prob-| ably comprise the Commodore, Harbour Master, Inspector Gen- eral of Police, members of the Legislative Council and membera of the general public.

In charge of illuminations nshore will be a committee which will prob ably include the Director of Public,

China Squadron, which normally It is probable that the ships of the leave for Weihaiwel early in May, will remain in the Colony until after the local celebrations, one or two vessels probably going north visit various outports as part of the Fleet's celebrations.

The task of decorating the Colony will be delegated to a Committee which will include two members of the Legislative Council, the Vice Chancellor of the University of Hongkong, the Canadian Trade Com missioner, Mr. J. IL Taggart and one or two other members of the general public.

It is almost certain that the pro- cedure adopted during the Silver

The Japanese Parliamentary Mis- sion, consisting of nine members of the flouse of Peers and two secre- taries, who are making an inspection tour of South China, arrived, in Canton this morning for a brief visit. They were met and greeted upon their arrival by steamer from Hong- ing the Mayor.

The Hongkong and Shanghai Banking Corporation's fine building presented a picturesque sight when it was floodlit this month on the occasion of the first anniversary of its opening.

THE KIDDIES

School children will play a pro-i minent part in the Coronation fes- Hivities and another Committee, which will probably comprise the Director Education, a member of the Legislative Council, and repre- sentatives of religious bodies will look after the arrangements.

Publicity will probably be in the hands of a Committee comprising a member of the Legislative Council, H.M. Trade Commissioner, and re- presentatives of the Hongkong Press.

As in May last year, it is expected that the Hongkong Chinese commu- nity will play a most important part in the Coronation celebrallons, and
