The Duke of Devonshire emphasised that the moral and material progress and development of the colonies, protectorates, and mandated territories. was increasingly important to all partners the British Empire. The Colonial Office consently endeavoured to foster interest in the Dominion Fand to stimulate inter-imperial trade. The Colon and Protectorates were still suffering from trade pres sion, but were generally pulling through the froncial position. Some of the smaller Colonies were con stant source of anxiety, but there were indications that larger tropical areas for which the Colonial Office were responsible were recovering, but much remained to be done before trade in the Colonies be .came satisfactory, and we must look to inter-imperial trade to regain at least part of the ground lost in recent years.

HONGKONG'S SUPREMACY -
The Duke of Devonshire was glad to report that the economic depression in Malaya, especially in tin and rubber, sooned to be passing. Revenue had Improved and the duancial stringency to some extent had been relieved. He pointed out that a $10,000,000 joan had been entirely applied to the Malay States for these purposes. The Straits Settle- ments itself had emerged from a severe period of ad- versity without having to borrow for itaownpurposes. Of all parts of the Empire, Hongkong had probably. emerged from the recent acute dopression with the least loss or suffering owing to the fact that as an entrepot to South China she had profited from every branch of a huge and varied export trade with China, as well as its European imports. It was also trile that political unrest in China had diverted much of the wealth of capital to the neighbouring British Colony in which the merchants of the well-to-do classes in China had implicit confidence.
