THE DAY
OF
Vague Proposals
THE plea that Hongkong Industry needs help has,

It in generally accepted now that the Colony's economic salva- tion lies largely with in-i dustrial development. The situation may change with the casing of the embargo but it in fashionable at the moment to look to industry 1o make good the decline in the entrepot and to provide alternative employment for 1he Colony's unemployed
thousands.

But It is much more difficult
to say how Industry can bej nurtured

CROSSES CANADA IN 3HRS,

Toronto, Dec. 18,
Flying at speeds up to 570 miles an hour, Britain's trim Comet jetliner streaked across western Canada today from Vani- couver to land at Toronto's Malton Airport at 2.50 p.m. only three hours and 55 minutes after leaving the west coast.
Piloted by Group Captain “Cat's Eyes” Cun- ningham, the flight of the Comet broke all com- mercial records for the Vancouver to Toronto run.
The four-jet, 80 to 76-passenger aircraft had broken the record, on the Honolulu to Vancouver hop, and was demonstrated in Australia last week, where it received a riotous welcome after flying from Britain on the first half of an around-the-world proving flight.
