Up Rumours

Mohawks Surprise

Words of Appreciation Probably Misinterpreted

Local Authorities Unconcerned

(By "Tinker")

WHAT APPEAR to have been a few words of com- pliment both to the country, and the hospitality of the Australians have, I think, received a little too much pub licity and prominence at this end of the line. "Reuter's" message the other day that the Eastern-Sing Tao touring football team in Australia had expressed the opinion that they would like to remain down there savours to me of just a natural expression of appreciation.'

In quite the same light can be viewed the second part of the cable that some of them would like to open up business down there, for Australia at the mo- ment must be quite a hive of industry for the War Effort.

The fact that "United Press" car- ried no reference to the wishful thinking adds weight to the belief that the whole is just the outcome of a few words between "Reuter!s": representative and one or two of the tcom, possibly the manager.

However, since the printed in Hangkong rumours have been flying around in their usual inanzter,
