THE Hongkong and Kowloon Poul- Breeders' Association have try shown commendable enterprise iri organising the poultry and bird ex- hibition which opens at Laichikok today, and satisfaction can also be felt over the interest which the Govern- has ment Agriculture Department displayed in the undertaking, and the encouragement it has given to the The Association and its activities. exhibition merits the fullest public support. Poultry breeding on approved and progressive lines could create a valuable new asset to the Colony, for hitherto Hongkong has depended almost entirely on importation of birds and fowls for table consumption. An im- portant new industry is in the making and one promising to yield considerable benefits to the community. It is right and proper that our poultry breeders should demonstrate to the Colony how
far they have progressed in this type of husbandry and to make known its potentialities as an industry. The breed- ers appear to feel handicapped in the marketing of their produce. One official of the Association complains about the intrusion of middlemen. This is an ever-present problem, particularly in Hongkong where the middlemen seek to become monopolistic. Moreover, they are greedy and are rarely content with a reasonable profit margin. Our poultry breeders may require some official protection in order to allow them to market
their products successfully.
It is a matter which closely affects consumers for it is they who finally have to cover the profits of producer, middleman and retailer, and it will be difficult to persuade them to buy home-bred birds if these cannot be offered at prices competitive with im- ported poultry,
Move In Right Direction
THE formal support which Dr Adenauer, the West German Chancellor, has given to the Pleven plan for the creation of a European army is a significant development, but it should not, at this stage, be over-evalued. Agreement has been reached in principle, but some hard talking and probably a certain amount of bargain- ing will be required before the practical detalls of Western Germany's participa- tion in a European army can be satis-" factorily settled. Dr Adenauer has given ond pledge that Western Germany will take her place in what is being called the European defence community. This, In effect, representa à pact within the framework of the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation, but this does not necessarily carry with it full member. ship of NATO, Nevertheless, if practical waynand means can be found of Incorporating Western Germany In a typu a army envisaged by the French

Premier an important step will have been taken in consolidating the West Europe defence scheme. Dr Adenauer has admitted that a great many details have yet to be worked out and negotia- tions on a number of differences will be required. For example it will be necessary to decide the status of the occupying forces remaining in Germany; to reach agreement on pay- ment of those occupying forces which the French do not want on their budget and the Germans do not want to pay for. any longer. There is also the question of payment which Germany expects for the arms and equipment in the new German army. The size and composition of that army will also call for careful deliberations. Dr. Adenauer has moved in the right direction in accepting the Pleven plan in principle, but it would be, premature to consider Western.
