Discussions on the best means of giving the people of Hong Kong a greater share of the manage- ment of their civic affairs are still in progress, but it may be presumed that the shape of the new measures of self-government will soon be defined, and it will then depend upon the manner in which the community responds to the opportunity that success and progress will depend. For that reason, the programme outlined by His Excellency the Governor, providing for at least 48 members in the proposed Municipal Coun- ¡cil still seems more attractive
than alternative suggestions drasti- cally curtailing the number. In the long run the wider the fran chise and the more
individuals invited to play art active part in the administration of municipal Hong Kong, the greater are the advantages to be derived. Interest [without participation is too much
to expect..
