In Ay kl 1993 the burden of prepa. ration for Hongkong's participation in the British Empire Exhibition fell per- haps fairly evenly upon the London Com- mitter and the Hongkang Committee, but in 1994 with the opening of the Ex- hibition, the centre of gravity ** shift- ed, to London and the ginats task was shouldered by the London workers. „Most | ably they acquitted themselves för, from the first the Hongkang section was a principal attraction amongst all compet ing displays, and interest never ingged tbroughout. The main lines, described in the last issue of this volume, were adher- ed to; that is to say, shops selling loes! wares and fun by local enterprise sold between them nedrig $500.400 worth of THE gonds, and the restaurant, serving Chinese Idod at prices suited to all classes, also well repaid the promoters, Sir Robert Ho Tung's exhibit of sericul ture and silk-weaving was perhaps the most important feature of the Section from-u-edtentional point of view, and the exhibit of South China Produce was thoroughly appreciated by business call-|
etx.
Nevertheless, experience at Wembley clearly indiented that Hongkong, as non-producing Colony an entrepot an one of the world's great trade routes and the storehouse of South China, entirely dependent for its degree of prosperity or adversity upon conditions in the vast country on whose borders she stands, cap. derive slight benefit for herself from par- ticipation in a great Empire demonstra tion of this kind. Imperial considera- tions, however, are all important, and the co-operation of every part of the British Empire was essential to realisation of the project, essentially an Empire advertise- ment to the rest of the world, rather than to the component parts of the British' Commonwealth. Serious gaps in the ranks in 1925 would be most regrettable,
On Imperial grounds, therefore, the Joint Chambers of Commerce Committee, after careful consideration. at three Sperial meetings-the, third held after the return to the Colony of the Hon. Mr E R. Halifax, C.MO.. the Hongkong Commissioner at the Exhibition, whin carefully reviewed the experience gained in 1994. and the considerations involved in continuance-unanimously decided to forward to the Government at recommens dation in the following terms :—
(1) That, Hongkong should participate in the Exhibition in 1993, not in the hope of immediate benefit to the Colony, but On Imperial grounds.
(2) That the Government be asked to make a grant of $200,000 for work- ing expenses. with a farther $100,000 for the financing of stock, which would be recoverable by sales, any prout being available to reduce the working expenses Continued:participationą – was also strongly recommended by the London Committee, subject to the granting of certain conditions deemed essential to the success of the Section. The Hong- kong-Goremment, decided to adopt the course, recommended by the «Joint Com. mittee, and negotiations by cable allow cd, as the result of which the desired con cessions were granted and continuance of the Hongkong Section was authorised at the end of January, 1923,-none too soon for the work that required to be done. With the exception of exhibits like those provided by the Dock Companies. the Section is to be conducted in 1925 entire. ly on Government account, the staff to be employed direct, on salary, and the main lines of the 1994 Exhibition to be preserved. In stocking the shops the ex- perience of last year is available as-a guide to the most saleable articles, so it is expected that the working capital pro- vided by the Government will be turned over two or three times, vielding in the process a profit which will substantially reduce general expenses.
The Committee received with pleasure, on the 2nd February, 1923, a letter con veying the thanks of His Excelleny the Governor for the onerous work done in superintending the arrangements thus far. Suitable acknowledgments were conveyed to His Excellency and at the same time the Committée notified com- pliance with the request that they would continue to function during 1925.
