To Avoid Trouble? Shipping circles believe that the order is the result a decision to nvold any "incidents" similar to the firing on the "Kinshan" this week. It was believed that a number of villagers aniped at the bridge of the "Kinahan" because of resent- ment the alleged damage to riverside crops by the wash of the sleamboat.
About a fortnight ago, the 8.8. "Lungaban" was fired at near Whampoa by the Cantonese Cadets, but this is not connected with the present order.

It is difficult, more than difficult, to see and to understand why the
has Hong Kong Government parently deliberately burked its responsibilities, in not ordering the Court to make the fullest inquiry into all aspects of the case.
Direct Interest. ..... It would seem that as lives have been lost and bodies recovered, inqueats are bound to be held. But experience teaches that the Hong Kong Government does not have to do anything. It is obvious that what is desired lenst is to have any
of public searchlight
opinion focussed on the subject of locked grilles.
It is true that the grilles were on a Chinese passenger steamer, but it must be remembered that the "Leung Kwong" had a Hong Kong Government passenger licence, and that if the presence of the grilles has been the direct cause of a hum- ber of persons losing their lives, the Hong Kong Government has a direct interest:
Fixing Responsibility,
It may be, of course, that another Inquiry, to deal with the conduct of the "Leung Kwong," the responsi- bility for the.collision, and the de- plorable loss of life, will yet be held; but there are no indications that such is likely to occur.
Is the duty of fixing the responsibility for the casualty, and the question of the death of all those people who were trapped inside the grilles, to be sacrificed | on the altar of the Hong Kong Piracy Prevention Regulations, which already have been recom- mended for complete rescission by
those who know much more about piracy prevention than the Hong Kong Government?.
Eighty per cent. of the District Committees of the Amalgamated Engineering Union have accepted the offer of the Engineering Em- ployers' Federation of an allowance of 2d. per hour, with a minimum of 1s. per day, for men called upon to do special "dirty" work in con- nection with Diesel and other inter- nal combustion engines."
