COME TO HONG KONG
The Hong Kong Travel Associa- tion have now settled down to their work of trying to attract more tourists to the Colony and because Hong Kong has so much to recom. mend it as a holiday resort, their task should not be a difficult one. Be that as it may, however, the fact remains that in an under- taking of this nature the body of men entrusted with the mission cannot be expected to bring about 'mmediate results. It would be unreasonable and unfair to expect. that, just as it would be unreason- able and unfair if a residents of Hong Kong do not make it their
good cause.
