Rather an interesting discussion is suggested by a correspondent who objects to renaming Great Western and Siccawei Roads "Avenue Haig" and "Avenue Foch." "Why not Haig Avenue and Foch Avenue?" he asks, "For that is the right way round in English." Well the point might be argued in many ways. boundary roads between the two sections of Shanghai, there might be reason in giving them a French turn and an English pronunciation. Or again, French being the language of diplomacy, one might argue for a French form as best suited io international use; and English being the language of business, one might argue equally for the English form as properest for this very business-like Shanghai. But probably "Avenue Foch" and "Avenue Haig" they will be. We have put up with the idiotic and self-contradictory name "Avenue Road" for a good many years and ougnat to be able to twist our tongues to anything after that.
