THE HONGKONG TELEGRAPH, TUESDAY, JUNE 4,
CULOSIS.
Of course I do not mean to suggest that our BBITISIL CONGRESS ON TUBER-Russian troops have already withdrawn to German, French and American follow Colonists should not be allowed to buy land, but I do think that no land should be sold to a Chinz man unless he becomes a British subject.
It will be interesting to see, when the last Census returns are published, how many of the Chinese residents of Hongkong are British Subjects, 1 venture to say that a very small proportion of them will prove to be so. Asa general rule no Chinaman becomes a British subject except for his own protection. They look upon the Colony as a good place to grow rich in by squeezing the foreigner and also as a very good refuge when their own land becomes too hot to hold thein. Everybody. must, sympathize with the Reformers who are forced to take refuge here, but the thieves and ragamuffins of all sorts who are shot on to this rubbish heap from Chine we could well to without.
Truly yours,

CHINESE REPRESENTATION. TO THE EDITOR OF THE "Hestsong "Tramples mat, ". DEAR SIR, Before you went talking about not allowing the Chinese a voice in the Gorem- ment of the Colony you should have asked who pays the piper? The Chinese pay taxes just the same as the Europeans and as they are in the majority they pay more. It is, I believe, an English maxim that he who pays the piper calls the tune. Therefore the Chinese must naturally come first in Hongkong. You know well enough that you could not do without us and therefore we ought to be treated with more consideration, How would you like it if your house was turned out every time a Sanitary, Inspector walked in and found you suffering
from fever?
Yours respectfully,
Hongkong, June 4th, 1951.

OUR BUGBEAR?
To The Bleros of THE "HONGKONG TALAJAHES SIRAs a constant subscriber to your paper, I was shocked at reading your article cutitied "Our Bugbear." Satisfied, at all times, that the views of things in general would be taken by you in a broad minded manner, I suddenly was confronted by an article advocating a narrow minded, jaundiced and altogether foreign man-

WHAT ARE THE POLICE DOING. TO THE EDITOR or the "Howakong, Trlegraru." DEAR SIR,-You must indeed be very simple if you fail to see how a beachcomber can elude justice for a week. The explanation is simplicity itself. Our Police are engaged their whole time in assisting the Opium Fariner to search for illicit opium, running in coolies for gambl ing for cents and dogging public servants round the town to see. If they are accepting bribes. When not thus employed they are watching houses where plague is known not to exist to see that no bodies are thrown out. This is the case as seen by,

REV. T. RICHARD ASKED TO ADVISE
day telegraphed for to go to Shansi by the Rev. Timothy Richard, who was the other governor Tsen Chun Hsuan, of that province, has arrived at Peking, says the New Press of 30th ulto. We now learn that he has since abandoned the mission to Shansi because he has been asked by Viceroy Li Hung Chang to
remain a Peking to advise him how to avoid the missionary disputes in future by arranging a special treaty.
We also learn that instead of his going to Shansi, he has since entrusted to the two missionaries there the task of concluding the amount of indemnity with Governor Tsen Chun Hetan. This indemnity is to be paid to the families of those who were massacred by the notorious Yu Hsien last year,
We agree with some of the western statesmen that the missionaries in China were at any rate one of the causes of the recent crisis. It is therefore hoped that this energetic and re- spected missionary will, think of some new suggestions that will lead to the cessation of future conflicts between the Christians and non- Christians:
