At the meeting of the General 'Committee of the British Residents'
Association of China held on June 17 it was announced that Mr. J. Haynes Wilson, Me, the Vice-Chairman, was leaving on a short vacation. By a unanimous vote, Mr. A. S. Adamson was elected Vice-Chairman in Mr. Haynes Wilson's place for the remainder of the current year. Mr. K. W. Johnstone has been appointed Chairman of the War Efforts Sub-Committee during Mr. Haynes Wilson's absence.
The financial position of the Association was reviewed by the Com-[mittee and considered to be satisfactory. The generous response, both from companies and individual members to the chairman's appeal at the beginning of the year had covered the expenditure budget, and it was hoped that there would be something in hand to tide over the expenses of the first month or two of the new financial year.
