Annual Conference at Edinburgh:
False Idea of Chinese Life in Films and Novels London, Sept. 11.
Speaking at Edinburgh at the annual conference of the Union of Chinese Students in Great Britain Mr. Mon, the President, protested against the erroneous idea of Chinese life propagated by films and novels, in which the Chinese are depicted as murderers and barbarians living' in a land of mystery where impossible things were possible. These ideas were furthered by a type of Chinese "East Ender?" who was taken as a model. Mr. Mon asserted that the Chinese regretted and resented the presence of these people and would like to see the whole lot shipped back to China. He advised students to endeavour to remove this erroneous impression by personal contact while they were in Britain.—Reuter's Special "Service.
