In Hongkong we know it is absolutely impossible to convince A Chinese contractor 1list the
spirit and wording of au agroo- ment must be carried out, and that the period set forth in the contract for the completion of work has to be rigidly observed. The experience of many invos tors in Hongkong has been a bitter one in this direction. Evon. yot, with all the changes in tho country, the Chinese have not been convinced of the value of time, and a great deal of money no doubt which would other wise have been invested has beon withheld simply because it is a hopeles task to promote & Boheme and trust the average Chinese contractor with ils completion in contracted time. We fool auro' that moraliants, in drawing up contrasts in Siom, the
