and possibly this may be applicable in this instance. (Laughter.) However, it has been borne in on me for many months past that poor little Hongkong sadly needs a trumpeter in this country. I only wish my blast could be louder and stronger. (Applause.) I have known the Colony in peace and in war, in times of great prosperity and the reverse- and i make bold to say that in all this great Empire of ours there is no com munity more loyal, more patriotic, or more generous (applause) and their present sorry plight in totally undeserved. I should farther like to say that Hong- kong as I knew it was a living refutation of the monstrous Lasertion made in this country recently by a Communist Parsee to the effect that the Union Jack stands for slavery. (Applause.) Some 83 years ago Hongkong was a small island in the China sea-sparsely inhabited by a fow piratical Chiness fishermen-to-day she boasts a population of upwards of a million roula and is replete with all the amenities of, a great modern city. Those thousands of Chinese who have. Blocked into her gates for years past, have done so because under the British fag they obtain security and justice for all --from the poorest coolie, to the richest merchant. (Applause.) I venture to state that every decent Chainaman who has made Chins Providents (comb.) Hongkong his home has benefited thereby financially. physically, morally and (Applause.) I can only trust that wise and courageous statesmanship: may speedily restore to Hongkong her whilom prosperity and to Great Britain her prestige in the Far East. (Applause.)
