London, May 3.

It is probable that the Japanese Ambassador, Mr. Shigeru Yoshida, will call at the Foreign Office this week in order to put forward proposals for Anglo-Japanese co-operation in China, declares Vernon Bartlett, writing in the News Chronicle to-day.

The growing military strength of Britain, Russia and China herself, the fail- ure of the Japanese policy in Mongolia, and now the encouragement of moderation by the result of the Japanese general elections combine to support the policy of the Foreign Minister, Mr. N. Sato, which is one of friendship for China, says Mr. Bartlett.

"But one cannot go further than to say that any proposals from Mr. Yoshida will be studied with sympathy and answered helpfully if they really show a change in the attitude of Japan for China," this commentator adds.

The results of the Japanese elections are not remarkable, says the Times in the course of oditorial comment, adding that the situation, which is none too easy to determine in the light of Western ideas, appears to be much what it was before the dissolution of the Diet.

16-FOOT YACHTS FOR H.K. Formation Of New Club

10 Boats In- Course

Of Construction

(By "Veritas")

21

Sixteen-foot yachts of an American design will make their appearance in Hongkong this summer according to re- ports. Ten local sportsmen have already placed orders with Hongkong shipyard for the construction of these yachts, and it is expected that they will become so popular that many more will be built before the summer is out.

The yachts, which are centre- boards, and very light, cost $260 each. This means that yachting will be brought within the purse of most people in the Colony.

The idea is to form what will be known as the Comet Yacht Club, the title being derived from the design-name of the vessels, which have a comet painted on the main- sails. This club, it is anticipated. will become affiliated to the Royal Hongkong Yacht Club, and it has been suggested that owners of Comet yachts must also be members of the Royal Hongkong Yacht Club.

ISLAND AS HEADQUARTERS

It is hoped to make the club's headquarters on small islan close to Repulse Bay, where the water is more sutiable for this type of 'crnil.

This is the first time 10-foot yachts have been introduced to Hongkong. It is sold they are something like the well-known 10-footers which sail their In Sydney harbour, though
