Now Territories.
(Contd.)
Secondly, as regards the specially rated- New Territories liquors; the total pro duce of which we have records was, in 1929, 185,137 gallons on which the duty was $33037. From this must be deduct- od 28,004 gallons exported to urban dis- tricts, and a quantity which I am advised cannot well be less than 40,000 gallons, smuggled in those same districts, which would reduce the consumption in the New Territories to 90,133 gallons on which the daty would be $19,827.
In the existing tariff these New Terri- ritories liquors are rated at the very low duty of twenty cents a gallon for con- sumption in the New Territories what- ever their alcoholic strength. It is pro- posed to place spirits distilled in the New Territories whether consumed there or not, on the same level as other Chinese liquors. The present system has given rise to extensive amuggling, and "how- ever, honest the distiller may be he can not say what his purchaser will do with the liquor purchased. Undoubtedly large quantities of the low-taxed spirit have found, their way into the urban districts by train, motor-car, lorry and truck to the detriment of the revenue, and in defiance of the law.
When the lower daty in favour of the New Territories was first imposed there was no railway and there were no motur roads, and the New Territories Dis tilleries were small concerns. Now most of the larger distilleries have, moved out into the New Territorios and there are comparatively few left on Hongkong Island. The standard of living has risen considerably in the New Territories and it is felt that there will be little hardship in the raising of the duties to a parity with those in the rest of the Colony. In view of the greatly improved methods of communication it has become almost impossible to prevent smuggling from the New. Territories to the rest of the Colony and two rates of duty for the same article in what is really one territory can no longer be defended.
The increased rates should produce a revenue of about $120,000, an increase of roughly $100,000, on the liquor consumed in New Territories and a total increase of $384,000 on the presént revenue from all native liquors.
With the improved conditions hoped for next year, the Government feels justi- COMPREHENSIVE POLICY ed, the proposals now put forward are

approved, in anticipating a total increase of some 8600,000 in the revenue from liquor duties over and above the figure of $1,200,000 inserted in the draft esti- mates now before the Council and the figure should be amended to $1,800,000.
A new provision has been inserted to cover unenumerated Equors, e, the various special liquors which it is im- possible to enumerate individually and while this has properly been placed at the highest rate you will notice that, to avoid hardship, power has been given to the Superintendent of Importa and ing to the classes to which they properly Exports to classify such liquors accord. belong. Under the existing classification every unenumerated liquor is entitled to entry at 40 cents a gallon, and it may well be that liquor which ought properly to pay a higher rate comes in too cheap ly by the fortuitous circumstances that it has not beca, expressly enumerated.
Locally Distilled Spirita
Finally I come to the last new pro- vision, viz., & reduction of ten cents a gallon in favour of locally distilled spirits. Spirits of the Chinese type manufactured in the Colony are subject
to
excise supervision and restriction which, while they result in a superior article, undoubtedly tend to increase the cost of production "Distilleries situated outside our, borders are not subject to theso restrictions and it is thought equit- able that the local product should not be penalized in this way without some com- pensating advantage. I think this small concession to the local producer will mort with the approval of Honourable Mem- bers
I am afraid I have delayed the Coun- il far too long, but I wished to make the intention of the Government as clear
as possible. I now formally move the resolution which I have already read and would merely remind Honourable Mem bers that while the Government regards | it as important that the resolution should be parsed to-day, ample opportu ity will be given if desired for subsc- quent discussion.
