Hopes Fading

Difficulties have now arisen in the arrangements to send an interport swimming team to Shanghai this summer, and It is now likely that the proposed Interport will be abandoned.

Chinese clubs, for various reasons, are not supporting the Victoria Recreation Club in the venture. The war in China is one of the reasons, and finance is another,

The Army authorities, it is understood, have intimated that they will not be prepared to finance the travelling ex penses of any soldier selected to represent the Colony in Shanghai,
