To the Editer of the "Noxru-Cixa Day News."
Simj—Some time ago I wrote an article dealing with the accomplishments of the Fourth Plenary Session of the Kuomintang which appeared in the "North-China Daily News" on November 25, Since its publication I have not taken the trouble to compare the printed article with my original manuscript, until a friend called my attention to the fact that in the paragraph dealing with the Government's intention yo allocate separate and detached tracts of land in Nanking for the various Legations, the printed passage was as follow "Dr. C, 'T. Wang made the proposal that well-located and detached tracts of land should be grouped together so as to eventually form a Legation Quarter such as exists in Peking." I was surprised when I saw, this because my manuscript clearly stated "Dr. C. T. Wang made the proposal that well-located and detached tracts. of land should be set apart at Nanking so that the foreign Legations may erect buildings with modern conveniences, The proposal made it clear that the Jand to be set apart for the Legations should not be grouped together so as to eventually form a Legation Quarter such as exists in Peking."
The insertion of the words form of reckless driving is not only inconvenient to the public, but also to the drivers themselves, too, It is an admitted fact that they use the horn, but that signal alone does not exempt a man from his moral This is a code adhered to by the motorists of the West, but so far as Shanghai is concerned it does not seem to be in existence, The cars pass on the roi ing down each and sundry without the least compunction, Incidents of this type are very common here, but what I witnessed is a noteworthy incident and the attention of the Traffic Department on the matter would be appreciated, An aged foreign woman wanted to board a tram at a halting station, and when the crowd had alighted from it she went towards the landing footboard, but before she had time to do that a fleet of ears came along tooting the horns, They were headed by a ricsha in which a. icreign woman was reading a book. The vehicle came along and knocked the unfortunate lady down, and with her a parcel of fruit fell on the ground. Neither the woman in the riesha nor the puller took any notice of the incident, but went. away as if acting had "happened. The old lady was rotsed to her feet by some spectators and the fruit collected and handed to her. She was very badly shaken and was very nervous, that she had to lean against a telegraph post to recover herself, In the meantime the tram. moved away and so did the motor cai ere are some traffic regulations have, but that they are not very well observed is, no doubt, due to insufficient men to cope with the increasing traffic. But, however, it is high time that the authorities take "should be grouped together" instead of "should not be grouped together" has caused a serious relection upon me as a writer, because this distortion and omission of the word "not" has created very unfavourable comment from many quarters. The policy of the government, as everyone is now aware, is to do away with the Legation Quarter, and this is to be accom-the pedestriang may b fe guarded. Such a move would be not only a benefit to the man on the street, but it also would be a source of saving much inconvenience to those hasty road hogs,
