It is fifteen years since he laat saw them, since he bade them a grave good-bye to seck; his fortune, first in India, then! in London.

He landed up in a laundry in High-street, East Ham, owned then by a cousin. Except that its walls, paper, with their yellow-howered have grown duller with many clean- ings, the shop has not changed since the cousin'died and Yean Soo took it Lover.

BEAUTY

TO LONDON

London is far too large. No where la there a clly where people have to travel through so many miles of bricks and mortar to and from their work; nowhere are people so far re=" moved from the beauty of the countryside.

So sald Sir Wyndham Deedes, pre- aiding recently at the annual con- ference of the Landon Council of Social Service at Goldsmiths' Hall:

"To-day a new London is growing up," he went on. "Let us see to it that new houses produce new lives. We have a singular opportunity

"I hope we shall be able to bring some of the country to London. This city might be made much more beau- tiful with window-boxes and every little spare plot of land cultivated and growing flowers,"

COME AND GO

Mr. J. Compton, director of educa- tion at. Ealing, urged the need for adequate provision of community centres in new housing calates,

"The working man when he returns homo after a heavy day's work," he declared, "wants to sit in his

wife quiet home, while his wants to leave her qulet home. (Laughter.) But often such wo- men are eager to attend classes in cookery and dressmaking.

Dr. A. Selter, M.P., referred to the growing amount of drunkenness In particularly among London, and town of

young people.

Spanish Insurgents tried vainly to hold the northern Belchite against the terrific onslaught of the Loyalist army, but eventually were forced to capitulate and surrender the town. This wrecked view shows forlorn inhabitants seeking salvage from their homes after the army passed. A Red Cress truck is in background.

For twelve years up to 1932, he said, in unbroken sequence the con- victions for drunkenness steadily de- creased. In 1032 there were 30,000 convictions, increasing steadily till in 1936 there were 45,000. This year Lines began teaching eight years was certain that the number would ago. At that time Miss Porter was be well over 50,000. 17.

have thus far been able to hold back the enemy from my poor but hospitable home. It is to be hoped that my anelent father will be pre- served from the so-disturbing in- conveniences of the invader's bomb- ing."

Yean Sco's father is ninety years old, his wife told me, and his mother eighty-three. He went on:-

"The enemy lately have given out mistaken estimable but grievously

aggres- statements concerning the sion of my countrymen,

"One trusts that the superior In- telligence of the western world en- counters such information with its traditional and admirable sense of fine justice. Truth is a treasure to be searched for without ceasing.

Peace has always been regarded as a most welcome gift among my countrymen. The pursuit of Içi- sure, and of thought is a pastime greatly to be desired."

Yean Soo honours among all his possessions a photograph-not just a newspaper pleture, his wife explained -of Marshal Chiang Kai-shek. With other shopkeepers and students he has contributed to Chiang's war chest.

Most of the contributions have been sixpenny blis, with the important is Sart people of Limehouse, such Sam Shig, the merchant, and Chung Chee, who owns the chop house, amounts. Allo- handing in larger gether they have sent £5.

For London's Chinese the war has personal significance. The sixpenny contributions have meant that many yellow men must do without bean In the local sprouts in their rice. headquarters they have put artificial instead of fresh flowers into the old porcelain vases of their "Joss" (shrine).

Yeon Soo has planned for many years to sail back to China, to show his English wife to his parents for their approval, to share with them a great feast of reunion before they die. Next year, he figured, he would have, saved enough money for the journey.

But he has given up the plan now. It is more important that he should help to sava China,
