To the Editor of the *Norru-Curss Day News."
Sin,—I beg your indulgence to raise once more the matter of the Shanghai War Memorial. Subscriptions appear to be coming in a lit-Ue better now, but, as the appeal continues to be made from day to day in the local Press, I take it that the fund is still very much short of the required amount.
It has occurred to me that possibly the idea of another monument or something of a similar nature may have fallen flat with many people and that, maybe, a memorial in some other from would be more acceptable.
Certainly I have heard many say that memorials have been rather overdone, pointing to the fact that one can find the names of certain gallant gentlemen, on the memorials of almost every club and institution in the Settlement which has chosen this form of perpetuating the memory of the mighty dead.
Might not some other scheme for recognizing the merits of both dead and living soldiers of the great cause find more favour (though I do not wish it thought that I am throwing mud at the proposed memorial)? To this end I make a suggestion.
