Shanghai's most recently formed society, the Canadian Association of China, has a most prosperous future in store for it if one may judge by the big attendance and heartiness of the members present ut the inaugural meeting held on Monday in the office of the Canadian Trade Commissioner.
Since the preliminary meeting held on February 6, a very simple constitution has been drawn up. This constitution was read over at yesterday's meeting and was afterwards adopted unanimously. A brief outline of the object of the association is that it should foster good fellowship among Canadians in China and promote the interests of that country in all possible ways.
Up to the present over 50 members have been enrolled, and the secretary of the association believes that in the near future this number will be increased very largely. It is also intended to incorporate Canadians who are liv. ing in other parts of China, and it: is expected that these members will prove quite a large body. The Secretary, Mr. S. P. Westaway, desires to receive intimation concerning the names of Canadians resident in all parts of China so that he may get into correspondence with them. His address is, care of the Canadian Trade Commissioner, No. 13 Nanking Road.
