To the Editor of the Nozra-Caixa Datty News.'
S1e,—Is it not s somewhat anomalous position that a German Naval Monument should stand on property belonging to one of Shanghai's premier British shipping houses?
Irefer to the Iltis Memorial which was placed in its present position in 1898 by consent of the firm referred to above. The full correspondence on this subject between the German Consul and the firm referred to may be read in the Municipal annual report for 1898 on pages 260/262, Tt seems to me that the proper place for this memorial is either in the German Consular compound; or the grounds of the German Garden Club.
