What Will Government Reply?
THIS afternoon the Financial Secretary winds up the debate on the 1951-52 Estimates and will, incidentally, endeavour to deal with the suggestions and criticisms ad- vanced last week by the Unofficials. To the taxpayers, the most important proposal is that of the Hon T. Ñ. Chau for a reduction in the standard rate on earnings and profits from 12% per rent to 10 per cent. We have already expressed unqualified support for this concession although it will come as a very pleasant surprise indeed if Sir Geoffrey Follows agrees with the arguments advanced in its favour. We of suspect that he will make usc weighty calculations to demonstrate that any taxation reduction at this time is not in the interests of the Colony, more especially as Sir Geoffrey has indicated that he considera Hong- kong cannot regard itself as being financially fool-proof. until the cumulated revenue balance reaches the $250 million mark. The Financial Secretary, however, may find it possible. to offer a compromise: that if this coming year again, proves more successful than estimated, Government will mako ́s reduction in direct taxa- tion in 1962. The public also hope that Sir, Geoffroy, today will give a comprehensive report on how it is proposed to make use of the Causeway Bay, reclamation. One suggestion has been made that it would prove 'an',ideal site for a big sports stadium, but while this sounds attractive in itself, we do not belleve an open space such as this ahould be alienated." By all means develop the site to include playing grounds, but they should not be re served for any particular clubs, (na-")); sociations or Institutions. Nor should
GC-

the crying need for additional public parks be overlooked when deciding how to put the reclamation to the best use in the interests of the public. A well laid-out open park, with children's recreation grounds and playing fields would serve a substantial section of the general public and would be a welcome and much needed addition to the limited facilities offered by the Botanical Gardens. Another request which we feel calls for some reply today by the Financial Secretary is that of the Hon P. S. Cassidy who said last week that he looked forward to hear- ing how Government proposed to make allocations from the new. Do- velopment Fund which starts off the now financial year with a capital of $56 million: Announcement of the establishment of this fund has been happily received, but its more exis tence does not satisfy. It must be well used and that calls for careful con- sideration. Some indication of how Government proposes to administer the fund is eagerly awaited. There are other important points to which Go-. vernment will be expected to make some reference today: the Hon M. W. Lo's suggestions for relieving the currently overburdened magistrates' courts; the new, air field; "town plan- ning policy; TB sanitoria. It is unlike ly that Government, at this moment, can give the fullest satisfaction in its replies to these various propositions," but it could restato a general line of polley which it is intended to follow, thereby demonstrating a willingness to be guided by popular opinion. Inten Lions can be just as important as accomplishments, especially when the...” continued goodwill of the community
