ADDRESS, BY THE HON, "MR. HOT YOAK The Hon. M. F. H. HOLYOAK ros accorded a great ovation When he rose to address the merling, He said :- Gentlemen, I have brought this rewolu tion before you at a public meeting
telephonic mewages and enquiries as to whether the general public of Hongkong could attend the meeting of the Chamber of Commerce, and I was obliged to say I am afraid you can neither attend, because the building's expacity will not hold you, nor can you vote if you do attend, because you are not qualifier to do so. And in every case the reply was thi: Will you arrange a publić meet- ing so that we can have a voice?" That is Why have ventured to call you together this evening, and I am confident
that you will endorse the resolution which I am going to put before you.
(Applause.) The rewofition which Flave! to propose is
That it is the opinion of this meet- ing that it is in the best interests of the Colony that persons of German nationality should be excluded there. from for a prescribed period of year fallowing the declaration of peace, and. that subsequently they be only silmitted to the Colony under wirict licence." Now, gentleman, you will notice a very slight difference between the terms of this resolution and that which was adopted by the Chamber of Commerce. In the Chamber, resolution, as you know, we dad the words "for a period of ten years, and, in speaking to that resolu tion"in the Chamber, I said that the term ten years was a purely academic term, and when I said that I meant that
