I don't need to tell you how Kowloon has grown for that is evident to all. But there are some aspects to which it may not he amiss for me to invite your

Representation Principle Even when the principle of re- presentation is agreed there still remains the difficult problem how the election or selection of repre- sentatives should be made. I suppose there are probably as mány Europeans living in Kow. loon as there are in any other dis- trict, and I think it likely that many of them spend the greater part of their working lives here, and I have no doubt that some of them feel that they should be among the first to have direct re- presentation, forgetting perhaps, that their nationals are very much in the majority when one regards the official as well as the unofficial sides of the Council.
Again, the Chinese are the most numerous, but in addition 'to their honoured representatives they have a special Government Department of their own. The large and important Portuguese community have really had less representation than their situa tion in our Colony warrants and I make bold to say that I think the appointment of a Portuguese gentleman to be a member of the Legislative Council is a proper
ore.
