Yesterday's ceremonial welcoming of His Excellency Chang Ming Kee on his way through Hongkong to take up his new duties as Viceroy of the Two Kwangs was certainly not devoid of any of those marks of respect which are due to an official to whom the great honour has been done by the Chinese Imperial Government of ap- pointment to this important office.

Conferment of promotion is generally assum ed to imply added burdens of service. In most cases it does. If it brings enhanced emolument, it also brings a greater task.. So that in the primary sense His Excellency Chang would have had to be quite prepared to accept with equanimity the added respon sibitics that are the natural concomitant of preferment. But in reality the young Viceroy has been called to a mission in the performance of which he will have to undertake a more than ordinarily heavy duty. His Excellency certainly does not lack in any of the abilities that go to the making of an 'administrator. "He is young, ardent, a temperate Reformer, a brilliant scholar, a man of varied experience in the Imperial service; and the rapidity with which he has passed through successive grades in that service testifies to the brilliancy of his talents and his integrity of purpose in work- log for the public weal.
