The Hongkong Government certainly doing its best to help countries dependent upon Chinese labour ! It has long declined to re- cognize contracté mada, even by properly authorized officials-ithout the colony, to that mastersof veascia calling la ou apartagelind that, If labour passengers desert, they can obtain no ald to exforce agreements. For this, however, something may be sald. It is different when the proposal is entertained to place vessels mo- ning on four or five-day trips under the same cor ditions as thoas making long sea voyages Our Information is at present derived from private sources as to details, though the maller ban already formed the subject of discusilon, and we believe representation, by the Hongkong mercan- | tile community. In general terms, we under- quired in ships conveying coolle passengers, which will entall enormous expense whbout con- ducing to their greater bealth or safely. Amongst other matters the cutting of a large number of new ports-no small Jib in these diye of exclusively Iron steamers-mlt is said, will be insisted on. There may or may not be good cause for new regulations when longer voyages have to be made, bat zo inslit upon them for the run between Hongkong and Kudat seems quite unnecessary. Under normal'etreumetances even deck passage is not uncomfortable. If it be arged that in rough westher (or even la thr extreme case of a typhoon) greater ventilation between decks is necessary than has hitherto been provided, we need simply polat out that no ports whatever could be kept open ander such circamalances. Certain vessels may or may not be wanting in offic!ent ventilation, though no complaints on that bead bave ever been made by the officials responsible at Hongkong, Sloga.

It is, as the Herald asserts, unfair to impose on vessels making four or five- day trips the same regulations as are enforced in respect of vessels going long voyages. Before interfering further with steamers sailing out of Hongkong it might, in view of 'some disclosures at a Marine Court recently held at Shanghai, be as well for the Board of Trade to inquire into the requirements of the trade in other parts of the East, although we should be the last to advocate, much less seek to justify, any undue interference with our shipping trade in any part of the world. British shipowners are already heavily handicapped by irksome regulations, and what is wanted, we believe, is the to what have already become serious repeal of many regulations, not additions drawbacks to the rapid expansion of our shipping trade, both as regards cargo and passengers, in the Far East.
