South China Morning Post,
The Executive Council.
In connection with the vacancy created on the Executive Council of Hongkong, through the and- den death of the Hon. Mr. RA Bewest, CM.G., whose services to the Colony will long be re- membered, it will be recalled that, at a recent menting, His Eroel-. lency the Governor declared that the cisims of the Hon. H. E. Pol- lock, KC, would not be over looked. It was naturally thought that Mr. Pollock, with his seat co the Legislative Comcil and a { long record of valuable services Ito the Colony, was well in the running for the honour. The announcement made on Saturday that the choice of His Majesty the | King had fallen upon Mr. E. H
Sharp, KC. therefore came as a mild surprise to most people.

Eliot, which appeared in our issus of Saturday last, probably repres- ents the point of view of those who are well acquainted with the wait-
Chancellor of the University agrees that the youth of China are Over-confident. "They have abandoned the pride which dee- pised foreign knowledge," he writes, "Lut they suffer grievous- Is from the conceit which fancies that such knowledge can be ac- quired from a brief study of text- books" Conceit has, indeed, al- ways been a characteristic of the Chinese. The Edictal Chien Lang to King George the Third, in reply to the request for greater facilities for foreign trade, is typical of the outlook of the Mandarin class until the time of the Boxers. A loftily-warded re- minder informed our King that the "barbarians were allowed
to trade at Canton, not because the Chinese wanted goods from. Europe, bat so that tos, silk, sed porcelain which are absolute necessities to European nations, and to yourselves might be supplied and your country then participate in our beneficence."

America and a big Navy.
President Wilson is a changed man. From being one of the most sident of pacifists he has in a few months developed into an out-and- out advocate of a big Navy the greatest Navy in the world ” in fact; Navy which shall make the United States unconquer- sble." E told an audience at Pittsburg a few days ago that if they could see the des- patches which he read hourly they would appreciate the difficulty of maintain. ing peace. The country must prepare, ha said, not for a war of #ggression but for national de fence. It has already been an- nounced by the Secretary of State for the Nary that a five-year building programme has been prepared which will entail an expenditure of one hundred millions of pounds sterling, and spparently the object of the Pre sident's speech-making tour is to fersuades people who hitherto have been resolutely opposed to the maintenance of a big Army of a big Kary that the time has come when their tradit tode on the sil abandoned.
