Congratulations to a great organization were appropriately given by Sir Hughe Knatchbull-Hugessen at the dinner celebrating the Silver Jubilee of theKeilan Mining Association. It was specially pleasant to note His Excellency's tribute to the Associatiop's progressive and enlightened policy fin the handling of its labour problems. As an example of Sino-British cooperation in the industrial development of China the Association has a well-merited reputation to which the British Ambassader happily drew attention. The point has considerable importance in these days when public opinion is seriously exercised over conditions which obtain in certain industries in this country, particularly in that industry which the Association has so successfully developed. By employment of its modern devices for: the technical operations of its staff and for the} provision of proper amenities of life for its 40,000 employees the Kailan Mining Association has set a splendid example which evokes special fervour in the good wishes now extended to it for the continuance of its pro-sporous and beneficent enterprise.
