Although the Hong Kong Travel Association is still very much in its infancy it is indeed to be con- gratulated in that. It is such an active infant. When the idea was first mooted some of our more pessimistic citizens shook their heads sadly, expressing the opinion that such a scheme would not work here and that it would be a waste of time and money to go on with it: It will be recalled that at the time we strongly supported the scheme, and we are now even more firm in our belief that the Hong Kong Travel Association is filling a long-felt need in the Colony. It might not be generally realised that in this matter-as in every other matter-the Colony is de- plorably behind the times, but we have been so used to this defect

VIGOROUS ATTACK ON GOVERNMENT
Lord Snowden Supports Mr. Lloyd George
London, October 30.
Lord Snowden, who waɛ Chancellor of the Exchequer in the last Labour Administration and in the first National Government retiring after the 1931 election, made an attack on the policy of * the present second National Government in a broadcast speech
last night.
He said he spoke as an independent politician by courtesy of the Liberal leaders to whom three election broadcasts have been allotted.
He urged that Liberalismi should be well represented in the new Parliament and that where Liberal candidates supported the programme of the Council and Peace and Reconstruction Initiated by Mr. Lloyd George they should be supported, while in straight contests between the Government and Labour candidates the electors should vote against the Government.
