A very important principle is intro duced undor Clause 13, which prohibits for an indefinite period any immovable property sold in the liquidations from passing, directly or indirectly, ander the control of our enemies, whether they be individuals or corporations. Effectively to secure this object the widest possible definition has been given to the tortu * prohibited control," and any person who contravenes the provisions of this section of the Ordinance is liable to be mulcted in the sum of $50,000, and to forfeit the property in question. An attempt by the Unofficial Members of the Council to extend this principle to Enemy Trade Marks was defeated by the Offcial majority, on the ground that this raised a broad question of policy with which only the Imperial auorities were come petent to deal. While this may be true,

a peculiar value in Chins, and that this constitutes a reason why Hongkong should take the initiative. As all Ordinance are subject to the Royal voto for a period of six months, no harm would have been done by adopting the Hon. Mr. HOLYOAK'S amendment; on the contrary, it would have served to bring the issue promin catly before the Home authorities and compelled them to give a ruling upon it. It is not to be supposed, however, that the Unofficial Members, thoroughly unanimous on this subject, will be content to accept this reverse as final. In the a meantime, it is reassuring to know that steps will be taken to retain Government control over enemy trade-marks registered in the Colony, whether the renewal fees are paid or not, in order to prevent their use by unauthorised persons to the detri ment of British trade. The danger of neglecting to take this precaution was pointed out when the subject was undet, discussion less summer and the action books were eaten by white ants, and who there, that just completel being quita"
