The Colonial Secretary (the Hon. Mr. W. T. Scuthorn, C.M.G.) in introducing the Budget at yesterday's Legislative Council meet- ing said that there were big increases of expenditure all round and that a further loan would be raised to meet expenses.
The Government's duty was to overtake the arrears of the past few years, when economy was essential, and improvemente especial. ly in seeing and medical services were necessary. Air Services, the Kowloon-Canton Railway, and the Harbour all needed substantial

staffs.
How long we can continue to finance this increase without re- course to increased taxation it is impossible to foretell; we, are fortu- nate to be able to carry on for the present with no increase in our present comparatively light burden of taxation but it must not be for. gotten that improvements cannot be had without the money to pay for them. I might add that part the increase in the dollar expenditure is explained by the fact that sterl ing expenditure other than salaries has been converted into dollars at 1/10d. instead of at 1/11d. as in the estimates for 1029.

A Forward Policy,
The Government, therefore, has adopted a forward policy in its Budget for 1930 but it is a forward policy in services rather than in material works, always excepting, of course, the loan works and parti cularly the Water Works with which Your Excellency has dealt so ably and so exhaustively at an earlier stage of our proceedings this after-
