Mr, Vu Yah Ching made the following address, translated by Mr. Eugene Y. B. Kiang: It has happily fallen to my lot to rise and propose the health of the retiring Senior Consul, who is shortly leaving our shores for his new appointment as Norwegian Minister to Brazil. His recent promotion bears eloquent testimony to the fact that his long and distinguished services in our country as Consul-General for Norway, and also concurrently as Charge d'Affaires since 1920, have won. recognition at home, but it is in his capacity as Senior Consul for this great city that I wish. to express on behalf of the six organizations gathered here tonight our warm appreciation for-the admirable way in which he has laboured for the welfare of this international community, especially during the crises of 1927 when he also served as Senior Consul and 1997-8. I also wish to recall with deep gratitude his work during the hostilities of 1932 when a committee of which he was the Chairman traced and rescued many of my countrymen.
