To the Editor of the "NowTH-CiiNa Daly News."
Sin,—With reference to Reuter's Cable, published in your issue of today, on the above conference, which states inter alia, "The Chinese delegation, which is composed of the most important body of! Chinese business mgn which has) ever visited Europe, insists giving, prominence to the political fa sue of extraterritoriality, etc, ete." Tt would be interesting to know who the important Chinese business men referred to in the cable are.
The Chinese General Chamber of Commerce, which the delegation is said to represent, ceased to function about the time they departed for Europe and: although I have endeavoured for. some weeks to obtain a list of the members. the delegation from various Chinese official sources I have been unsuccessful so far, A list of about 10 members was published in' the Chinese press some weeks ago, but of that number only Mr, K. P. Chen (the banker) appeared to be business man—all the others being either officials, sons of officials without any connections. in commerce and students of Doctors of Economics. Perhaps some of your Chinese readers could offer enlighternment.
