Skinner, well-known in New Zealand a« Miss Mary Maefarlane, a theatrical manageress, now representing Cartoon Films in Shanghai, to. an Invercargill friend. “However, a lot depends on how soon the wars in China cease. Europe does not affect China, so much as interior wars do. At the moment (July 15) we are intensely interested in matching how Britain and France will settle matters with. Germany.
