Questions (1) Explain the principal

factors that affect changes in the popula- tion of a country.

Answer:

The principal factors that are responsible for any increase or decr= ease in the population of a country are the birth rate, the mortality rate and the flow of emigrants and. immigrante.

These four factors may be infl- uenced by sociological or economic⠀ developments, and even political chan gea can exert a certain amount of influence on these factors.

By far and large, if the size or a family is traditionally kept Large, the population in the country is bound to be large. In Hong Kong moat Chinese believe that the larger the family the more fortunate they are. This belief is, however, gradu ally superseded by western thought t that the smaller the family, the few- er the responsibilities of the parents and the greater will be the happiness of everyone in the family.

Among the illiterate people, the size of a family still remaine frightfully large, as is apparent whan one visits resettlement estatea, farma in the New Territories and the fishing villages of aav Aberdeen or

nanken wanducated people orter keep their families small. This is explained by the fact that education has taught one that life does not end with marriage with the-view of rate- ing a large family, but that in life there are many other virtuous thinga to do. Logically, ignorant people have no desire for intellectual pur- suits such as reading, discussions and music appreciation. Family plan- ning is today taught to many newly married couples. As a result of a great deal of publicity being given to this subject, the birth rate is dropping "gradually. The average number of births recorded is 100.000 per year.

Sometimes a high birth rate do- en not cause the population to grow. This is due to the number of deaths that take place, which can offset the number of births. In Hong Kong the mortality rate has been dropping as is true in most advanced countries today, a

as a result of the immense strides that have been made in West- arn medicines.

Medical facilities in Hong Kong have been improved considerably since the establishment of the Queen Eliz- abeth Hospital. The infant mortality rate is on the average 23.7 par 1,000 live births, and the maternal mortal- ity:

0.33 per 1,000 total bir- he. Ten years ago the infant morta- lity rate was 60.9 and the maternal mortality rate 0.90. Thus, it is obvious that the low death rate is

-partly responsible for our increasing

population.

As diseases continue to strike the population, tuberculosis and can- oer being the chief killers in Hong Kong, medical authorities have provid- ed treatment and have introduced pre- ventive measures to combat them, and deaths resulting from diseases are no longer a threat to us, although, or course, the battle against sickness is not yet over.

Ware in Vietnam and the political situation in postwar China had caused many refugeas to come to Hong Kong, thus increasing our population consid- arably. These refugees brought their families along and soon many homes were permanently established here. This explains the great amount of money spent by the Government on the construction of resettlement estatea and it also explains the rapid growth of alum areas in the Colony.

Then there are also those who are keen on investing their capital in our industrial expansion, having learnt of our spectacular change from an entrepot to an enviable manufact- uring centre. These, businesamen do not arrive in tens or hundreds but thousande since the early fifties, and they have more or less made Hong Kong their homes. Thus the number

JAMMA İSE BU UN VIA Come vu nong kong has a great bearing on changes in our population.

On the other hand, there arè people who leave Hong Kong to settle in overseas countries. These people can cause our population to drop oon- siderably if a great number of them auddenly think of moving elsewhere, as many did in 1967 when the distur- bances broke out. However, in recent years, many of those who left that year have returned after discovering. the difficulty of settling down in new lande.

If there is an economic deprea¬ sion in Hong Kong businessmen may turn to the attractions of countries abroad. They may transfer their cap- ital elsewhere, and if the other cou- ntries offer better living conditions their whole families may likewise leave Hong Kong for good. Labour, too, is mobile, and workers have been known to apply for visas and working permita from other countries, in ord- er to start a new life.

Thus, economic changes in tne country can cause either an increase. in the number of immigrants or a drop in the number of emigranta

When a country experiences poli, tical instability, there is a tenden- oy for people to move out of the cou- ntry as fast as they call.. Here in Hong Kong, our political stability except for the disturbances of 1967, has been the chief factor in keeping Hong Kong residents in Hong Kong's on the other hand, it has attracted many people from politically-troubled countries.

Students may leave the country to study abroad, and during their -absence the population will experien

ha alight drop, but there are times when students take up new citizen- ships in other countries and so they have gone for good, in which ones the population will never regain them and will remain low.

Questions (2) Why do you think the

Banking Ordinance 1964 La vitally important to our Banking system?

Answort

The Banking criais of 1965 is an eloquent proof of the need for a greater enforcement of an effective system of laws regulating the czist-e ing banking practices in Hong Kong. Like many commezioɛl practices, bank- ing requires constant supervision over the way it functions and influe- nces the business activities in the Colony. A sound banking system can stablize the economic structurs of the country and stimulate its econom mic growth. Should it fail to func- tion properly and reliably, an econo- mic disaster throughout the country is inevitable.

All banks in Hong Kong are the- rerors governed by the Banking Ordin- ance,

1964 which gives the Financial Secretary the power to instruct the Banking Commissioner at any time to make an on-the-spot investigation of any bank suspected of violating this Ordinance.

If, in the opinion of the Fin- ancial Secretary, the situation of a bank has deteriorated such as was in the case of the Ming Tak Bank on Jan- uary 24th 1965, and should therefore taken over by the Banking Commissio- ner in the interests of the Bank's customers, the Financial Secretary can aot right away.

Any bank run 18 deterrent to the business community of the country. The Banking Ordinanca, 1964 axista, among other things, to empower the Government through the Financial Sec- retary, whose instructions are acted upon by the Banking Commissioner, to take steps to prevent such a situat- ion from happening, and if it does, from developing to a state in which the entire banking community is adva- raely affected.

It is very easy, and very tanp ving too, for a bank to abuse the money of ita customers who have open- ed savings and deposit accounts with the bank. The internal administrate ion of a bank should function at all times within the specified conditiona of the Ordinance. The Banking Com missioner has the right and the pow er to inspect the way a bank carries -out its day-to-day operations, so that at any time, he knows when a bank is using the customers! deposits wrongly.

The Banking urdinance, 1954 sta- tes that a bank is not permitted to lend more than 25% of ita capital and reserves to any one customer, firn, corporation or company. This measure is to prevent any possible loss of the loan should inflation occur.

A bank conducts business on its own in a variety or ways in order to expand its activities as well as fạo- ilities for the customers. Amongs⠀ the various ways of acquiring quiox returns for its money ja by investing its money in real estate. It must be borne in mind that the money the bank uses is not the bank'a but the cuato- mera', 80, should the real estate decline the investment is lostero prevent this from happening the Ord- inance has limited the bank's invest- ment in real estate to 25% of its capital and reserves,

The flight, a bank run will result. Ordinance specifies that a bank shall always maintain a minimum of 25% 01 its deposit liabilities in liquid assets.

Finelly, every bank, must show 1ta financial situation at the end, of each calendar month and every th ree months, by submitting a bank ata- tement to the financial Secretary. In this way the Government can be regularly kept informed of the true financial state of each bank.

The foregoing paragraphs clearlF snow that if not for the existence of the Banking Ordinace, 1964, banka would be allowed to function in their individual ways and the Government would have no power to standardize banking practices as well as to check for any irregularities that might have arisen from a bank'a maladminis- tration of its affaixa. This Ordin- ance is, in fact, a preventive me ad- ure against any banking orisis that might arise from a bank run.
