FRIDAY, DECEMBER 8, 1904.
A FREE SUEZ (ANAL.
It is becoming increasingly evident that the propriety of a substantial reduction in the dues levied on vessels passing through the Suez Canal will soon have seriously to be considered. We are aware that, withan
income augmenting by leaps and bounds, the Suez Canal Company has made certain concessions to its customers. But those concessions are of a distinctly moderate character, and of a type which could scarcely in decency be withheld in view of the extraordinary
Intimations.
VICTORIA REGATTA, THURSDAY, FRIDAY AND SATUR- DAY, the 8th, 9th and 10th December, 1904.
·
THE
tion Club request the pleasure of the Commitee of the Victors Recres- Company of the Ladies of Hongkong on THURSDAY and FRIDAY, the 8th and 9th December, at 1.30 F.M., and on SATURDAY, the 10th December, at 1 r.m., on board the Flagships KWONG TUNG and KWONG CHOW.
Mr. VILLIERS HATTON has kindly con- sented to present the Prizes at the conclu- sion of the Regatta,on SATURDAY, the
10th Inst.
The Ladies' Prize will be presented by prosperity Miss BARNES LAWRENCE immediately -of this monopolist undertaking. The sfter race on SATURDAY, the 10th inst.,
real question, however, is whether this at 4 P. international enterprise ought any longer to be regarded as a money-making con- cem of the toll-gate order, or whether it should not be rendered toll-free, save and except so far as some charge is essential to
at 1 P.M., and on SATURDAY at 12.30 provide for upkeep, management, and fu- ture developments. The misfortune is, of P.., to convey visitors on board the Flag- course, that our Chancellors of the Excho-ship, and will make a second trip on each day at 2 r.M.. It will leave the Flagship 10 minutes after the last race on each day.
quer, in these impoverished times have come to look upon the income from England's Suez Canal shares as a very useful souroo of revenue. Consequently, official hostility to any policy of reform would be evoked at the outset. Since, however, British tonnage represented 62 per cent, of the total which enabled the Suez Canal Company to earn last year sufficient to pay 27 per cent. of its capita! had it been so disposed, it is clear that British interste would materially bene- -fit, even if the Budget suffered. But there is a much wider aspect of this question which has been overlooked amid all the chuckling and congratulation of the nation on Lorl Beaconsfield's lucky purchase of Suez Canal shares. It is well stated in the letter which we published from Messrs. Turner and Co.:-
Through the Courtesy of Mr Dixon,' the Chief Manager of the Hongkong & Wham- poa Dock Coy. Ld.. a Launch will leave Blake Pier on THURSDAY and FRIDAY
By kind permission of Lt. Col. W. 8. BIBDWOOD and Officers, the Band of the 110th Mahratta Light Infantry will per. form each day.
The Sertary's Launch will leave Blake Pier each day at 12.3 P. sharp to convey rowing members to the Flagship.
Admission to the Flagship (Gentlemen) $1.00 each day.

In other words, she is not aiming to make a profit. It is quite possible that with the opening of the Panama Canal the directors of the Suezen- terprise will have to lower their tolls. That, however, will only be an admission that in the past it has treated Europe unfairly. That European trade is entitled to the ad- vantages of this short cut at cost price, or nearly so, may not as set be a popolar doctrine in official circles. But that it represents a sound policy, and one that must eventually triumph, we cannot doubt. The Suez Canal Company has sufficiently served its purpose.

OUR BANKERS.
The Inaugural Address delivered in London recently by the new President to the Institute of Bankers may be said to have held up the mirror of Finance to that comprehensive subject—the condition of the country. Those who assume—not unnaturally-that a discourse to such an audience, and on such an occasion, must be severely technial, will revise their opinion as soon as they begin to read Mr Spencer Phillip's survey of the year from the point of view of those who are, in effect, trustees. with large discretionary powers, of the floating capital of the community. It is the fashion to charge them with narrowness. Like other men who are engaged in the of departments of the vast business conduct of transacted day by day, and year by year, in these Islands, they must devote their attention primarily to the interests of
of their own profession. But the very nature of their occupation guarantees the complete impartiality of their judgments. They have the strongest selfish inducement to be public-spirited, for their prosperity is absolutely dependent on the general well- being.

an every observer of the state of things in recent Sessions must do the impotence of Parliament to pass measures even of a simple character and of admitted urgency. It may, perhaps, bring home to the electors some sense of the mischief done, either by organised obstruction or individual caprics, that Mr Schuster, following the lead of the Chair, described the wrecking of the Bills of Exchange Bill as a disgrace. It was, ho sald, a Bill of a few lines drawn up by the Lord Chancellor himself, perfectly non- contentious; and yet it had been twice blocked for
unknown reason. According to Mr Spencer Phillips, if bankers acted on the strict letter of the existing law the entire business of the country would is paralysed. If this be a detail, it is one of such enormous import-
