CEYLON, IIN SUCCESS AS A CROWN COLONY.
7
No greater contrast can be conceived than the change from Aden, with its black, rock-girt harbour and endless stacks of coal, to Colombo, the seaport capital af Ceylon. where Nature has been as lavish with her gifts as she has been sparing at Aden. Did time and opportunity permit, it would be a pleasant task to describe the scenery and other character- istics of this beautiful island, but what is rather wanted is to ascertain the strategical, com merical, and historical circumstances under which Ceylon bec mo. a British dependency, the present use of the island, for purposes of Imperial thade and defence, and what steps have been taken to turn to the best account this most valuable, possession of our Colonial Empire.
England's first connection with Ceylon dates (rom 1781, when she was at war with bath France and Holland, to whom Caylon then belonged. India possesses no secure port south of Bombay on her west and Calcutta on her enat, coast, and the fine land-locked harbour of Trincomalee on the noith-east shore of Ceylon became an important objective for the English and French admirals, who were at the time contending for the mastery of the Indian Ocean. Admiral Hughes, the English paval commander in the Fast Indies, was the first to aize Trincomalee; but, being unable io garrison the harbour, it was wrested from him during the absence of his feet af Mudzas by the French Admiral Sul- fren, who retained poression of the place till the end of the war, when, in 1783 the peace of
Versailles gave it back in Holland. In 1795 when Holland elected to throw in her lot with the French Revolutionry Government, Trin. comalee was again seized by the British, and forthwith annexed, with the other Dutch possessions in Ceylon, to the Madias Presi. dency. In 80 Ceylon was constituted a Crown Colony, being removed from Indian jurisdiction.
Thirty years ago Colambo was an open road. stead; to-day it, contniņs' one of the largest artificial harbours in the world. More than seven thousand vessels were reported as having entered and cleared the harbour in 1904, Colombo's development is due to natural trade causes which have created a demand for the gigantic harbour works, con. structed at great cost and labour by, the Government of Ceylon. When it is asked why Trincomalee, with its"fine natural harbour, should have been abandoned for Colombo, which had no antécédent advantages as a sca. port, the answer is clear, Trincomalee is situated on the north-east of Ceylon, twn. hundred miles off the beaten track of vessels coming either from Australia or through the Straits of Malacca ; while Colombo is on the south-west of the island, right in the centre of the great trade routes which converge on the Suez Canal,

COLOMBO'S 1 PLENDID HARBOUR, Colomba barlour has been constracted at the expense, and under the direct supervision, of the Ceylon Government. The foundation. stone of the famous south-west breakwater was laid by King Edward when, as Prince of Wales, This breakwater, he visited India in 1875. which is fourteen hundred yards long, was completed in 1885 at a cost of £700,000, but before it was finished designs were prepared for a further extension of the works, which were to include the construction of a north-east break water three hundred and thirty yards long, and detached island breakwater nine hundred yards long, situated between the two others. While the work was in progress it was decided to construct a graving dock, the cost of which, including additions when compleie, would amount to £348,903. The deck,which is eighty_von Zzerep. five feet broad, and has a dèpth at high water of thirty-two feet will, when finished at the end of this yard, 'be larger than any of the docks at Bombay, Singap te, or Hongkong, none of which exceeds five hundred feet. it will take the largest ship affort in the Navy, noi excled- ing the Dreadnought.

Every year. It is considered by most ad thorities on Ceylon trade that under a system of Imperial preference Ceylon would contiove to find as open a market as at present in
·America and Europe for her increasing export trade in tea, coconut oil, and plumbago, while the bulk of the import trade would be retained by British producers.-Daily Mali Overseas.
