He estimated that there would be over 120 'buses in service when the contract was under way and thought that there would be no change in the present type of vehicles for some time. This again depended on the decision of the Government as to the use of double-deckers. The
type of vehicle would probably con tinue to be the popular Leyland and Thornycroft chassis, which are now in use on the road. Experi- menta are being undertaken with Diesel motors and it is possible that this type of engine will see service in the Company before long ROUND THE NEW TER.
k
RATES THE SAME?
On the delicate subject of farea and rates, Mr. Louey was very reticent, but remarked that he thought there was no reason why the present rates could not remain. There would, however, be a change in the section rates as at present in uno, but to exactly what extent, ho could not say at the moment.
Mr. Louey in conclusion remark; ed that there was considerable room for expansion and progress in the automobile passenger service on the mainland of the Colony, and that the Company would devote their entire resources and experience in giving the public the satisfaction which they have maintained. throughout as the pioneer bus ser- vice of the colony.

Questioned as to the New Terri tory service, Mr. Louey remarked that a very efficient service will be organised for the New Territory, The present Castle Peak-Un Long service will be extended as far as Taipo. The complete.circuit was in mind and would possibly prove very popular, but the condition of the Shatin and Reservoir, ronds were not considered fit for passenger vehicles se. yet by the Government.

This argument has since been developed with great force by s French writer of wote.
There is another utterance I like to recall in this connection-the words spoken by Mr. Hoover on February 1, 1917, just before. America declared war:
America will be rich, prosper- us and wealthy as the result of this War We shall have made untold millions of this wealth out of the woe and swelter of Europe. The money which has come to us from theis people is money in trust; and unless America recognizes this trust she will pay dearly, and bit
