The Canadian Club

A Correction To the Editor of the *Norru-Curwa Darcy News"

Sm—In all fairness to the found-cers of the original Canadian Association in Shanghai your statement. in tovday's Issue that a Canadian Goverament official who came out 10 Shanghai in 1925 was instrumental the formation of the Canadian Association fe entirely incorrect!

The Canadian Association was formed in Shanghai in 1920 by the late Dr. McGillivray, members of the staff of the CPR. and Canadian business "people in Shanghai. The then Canadian Government. Trade Commissioner, Dr. J. W. Ross, was lis first honorary president.

For those who recall the hard work put in by the founders of the Conadlan Association of China until the formation: of the new Canadian Club, tis desirable that your statement should be. corrected, for you surely are only too glad to give recognition to all early settlers who laid' the foundations of the benefit which present dwellers in our elly enjoy.
