OUR CONTEMPORARIES.
WHAT THEY THINK.
China Mail THE DECLARATION OF LONDON..
As we said at the outset, Hong kong approaches this questions aftor sad and practical experience of what neutrality moant for hor during threoidifferont wors and under the old rules. Mr. Frederic Harrison views it from the enfo and cosy retreat of the student's study or the lecturer's class-rooni. Ouratorenntile community rojects the Declaration; he supports it. Fortunately the question is to be submitted to the Imperial Colonial | Conference in May and we have litilo doubt that the Colonial statesmen will placo the British Clovernment in possession of argu- monts which should materially altor tliqir attitude on this very vital question.
Daily Press.
DECLARATION OF LONDON. in time of war the food sup plica of Great Britain would pro Bably be monacod; Declaration or no Declaration, and in the circum- stancos we are impressed by the orgament that there is but one unfailing safeguard, the ability to maintain by superior naval force fren access to our ports for our own and neutral vesselsaliko," and to the extent that international agreomonts purporting in what- over degree to confer immunity on foodstuffs breed such falso confidencó theyare a deadly snare. Naturally the average layınan whose judgment has been appealed to on the question is desirous of knowing the opinions of the Board of Admiralty as to the effect of the Declaration in a British naval war, and in view of the strength of the controversy in commercial and shipping circles, it is re assuring to learn from Lord Morley that the general opinion of the Admiralty is that the effect would be "small and inconsider- able." Supported by such in opinion there would soom to be little prospect of the Government refusing to ratify the Declaration,. though it is premature to prophesy until the promised debate on the Declaration in the House of Com- mons has taken placo,

WOMEN IN BARS. Novortheless, in matters touch- ing the interests of the west, and cortainly the worst, ond of the town, neither the police nor the Government can be too caroful to avoid trespassing upon the lawful exercise of a legitimato right, and after all, as the Hon. Mr. Osborne pointed out, a woman can be a' reputable and bonafide customer, while, where there exists cause. for suspicion, the community can leave the police force to perform its duty. Disagreeable as this. nspect of the liquor question 15, the addition to Clause 22 which laas boor made, and a watchful attitude upon the part of the police, should bosufficient to copo with the situation during the time which must olapse before tho, Gothenberg system replaces that which now prevails in the colony. That such a chango is ultimately to pomo is very gratifying and, indeed, the one bright spot in the wholo question of the drink traffic of Hongkong,
