There's no doubt about it, boys, so you'd better face up to it. We have simply got to get the Tourist into Hong Kong, and all of us have got to go full out, and all we know, and all those other expressions used exclusively by scoutmastera and manly clerics.
Of course, what we really want is a pier with slot machines, but that's asking rather a lot for a start. We might cut out the pier, and begin with the slot machines. I hear the Southend District council is selling off a nice line in Bang-of-Ball, and What Tommy Saw In Paris. Then I think if we had a hand to play on the ferry, the tourists would come pouring in, don't you? Or don't you?
Otherwise, I don's really know what wa about it, much, because you see they can't very well play golf, as there are so many of us who want to play, and there isn't anywhere for them to have a game of ten- uis except in the clubs, and they're all full up. They might play bowls, if there was a bowling green for them. I don't know, And they can swim at the Lido. As a mat ter of fact, I don't know that we really, actually, want any tourists here, only of course we'd like their money; so perhaps as there seems so little for them to do. might be better for them just to send the money, and not come here at all:
