In the success of the other. They ought never to have been at cross-purposes, for we be lieve that the atmost goodwill,has always existed, and still exists, be- tween the majority of the people of both places. So far as Hong,,| kong is concerned, we can truthful ly say that the feeling here is un- animous in all circles for a closer rapprochement and for a strength ening of friendship between this Colony and its near neighbour. If we work in co-operation, there are huge commercial and industrial possibilities ahead, in which both Hongkong and Canton can be of service to each other.
