BUSINESS AS USUAL
It is reassuring news that so far the trouble up North does not seem
to be affecting Hong Kong. It would be quite natural to expect that an exodus from Tientsin or Shanghai might bring visitors to Hong Kong on a big scale, but we learn from shipping circles that nothing of the sort has hap pened so far. Nor have any pass- ages for Shanghat been cancelled. From the Travel Bureau we learn that threats of war have left them unaffected, and there seems to be a general feeling in the air that "Business As Usual" should be our slogan for the present."
