The 14-month- old Sino-Soviet treaty provided that Dairen should be a free port. The drive might have the effect of inspiring peaceful withdrawal of Soviet troops to nearby Port.

"House leagues" have already been organized in some of the schools, and competition of this type is stressed rather than on an inter- school basis.

The games are being conduct- ed by various members of the staff and senior pupils will also be train- ed to serve as leaders.
