This matter is likewise under investiga tion and I trust that before long I may be able to lay on the table of this Council a sessional paper giving full in formation on every aspect of our water supply problem and furnishing all the data necessary for formulating our future policy in this respect, Until then it would be premature to take a final deci. sion."
Finally, members will no doubt have noticed one very serious omission from may remarks, This omission is intentional as Your Excellency has informed me that you will yourself deal with the very im- portant question of the water supply for the Colony and with the remarks of hon, members on that subject. Once more should like to thank my unofficial colleagues for their very finttering ru marks on the way the budget was intro- duced and for the very restrained tone of their reasonable criticisin and," cspe. cially, for their generous appreciation of the services of the various Government departments.

Education.
add to what the Colonial Secretary bas On the subject of education I will only already said that, situated as we are in Hongkong, money spent by us on educa tion is of the utmost value to British in- terests in China. This is an era of ́ad: vertisement and propaganda. Fortunate- or unfortunately, we, as a people, are not good at advertising ourselves and we are very bad at propaganda. But the nublic schools and the universities of the United Kingdom are the admiration of the whole world and the initiation of the typically English boy scout and girl guide movements during our own lifetime shows that in educational matters a vitalizing impulse stili goes out from England. firmly believe that, if we can successfully
thanks are due both to the official and to the unofficial members of this Council for the time and eare which they have devoted to the consideration of the budget. My debt is greatest to the Colonial Secretary, who has spared no pains in preparing, in expounding and in defending the Supply Bill, and who, as I am sure the whole Council will agree, has discharged a difficult task with con-introduce into Hongkong something of spicuous ability. But am also much indebted to the unofficial members "for their helpful criticism and to those oficial members who have taken part in the debate for replying to this criticism so fully that there is little laft for me to say. There are, in fact, only two points on which I propose to touch, namely the Colony's water supply and the subject of education.
Colony's Water Supply. Ever since I arst knew Hongkong, more thus a quarter of a century ago, the in- sumiciency of the Colony's water supply has been a cause for anxiety, 1 can weil remember the days when I lived in a tenement house in Po Hing rong at a time of acute water shortage and had to send my servants with buckets downt to the Praya, where they stood in a gene to get water froni boats which brought it across the harbour from Tai | Lam" Ch'ung on the mainland. It is
the spirit of the British public schools and universities, we shall do more for British interests in China than can possibly be achieved in any other way.
Education must, of course, be conducted on sound lines and all political propaganda must be rigorously excluded from our educa- tional establishments.But, subject to these provisos, I am convinced that the money we spend on education is a very good investment, and I am glad to learn from the speech of the Senior Chinese Member that he and his colleague de not grudge it.
I now put to the Council the motion. which has already been moved and secorded, that the supply Bill be read a second time.
Hon. Sir Heny POLLOCK: May I speak upon some of the points which have been raised.

It hus doubled during the past ten years. Now we are at present only completing the Brst stage of the Sheng Alun valley water works scheme. But, when that scheme has hereafter been developed to its utmost capacity, the water supply from it will, so I am told, only auffice for million souls. In addition must be considered the whole of the needs of the shipping of this great port, which should be supplied entirely from the mainland. Taerefore in my opinion the progressive development of the Sheng Mun scheme stage by stage will probably do no more The clerk of the" justices (Mr. John than supply the growing needs of the Fardell) said he and others who had northern side of the harbour, especially studied the law all their lives were not in-' if, as I hope may be the case, the supply formed of such regulations, and had to go. to Howloon is by meter all over the and look at the notices posted up.
