Serving in the Force until 1915, C.D.I. Reynolds left to join up in the war and came back to Hong- kong in 1919 unscathed and ac- companied by a wife.

For Revenue Producing, But our expenditure has gone up quite apart from the higher standard and the additional accommodation afforded by the Tung Wah Eastern Hospital, and we want this ground to help us in providing revenue to meet our billa. And that is where the Government came in-another party -to this successful co-operativa system. H.E. the Governor recommended that the area should be used by the Tung Wah Hospital for revenus producing purposes. The Secretary of State approved without hesitation; and It was something of a rellef to see the old irregularities so readily condoned and, indeed, now and wider privileges grunted, in well-earned recognition of the work of both Institutions. And then tho Tung Wah Hospital Com- mittee appears again to do the real hard work-and that is why Hike being associated with the Colony's charitable committers, because they always do all the real hard work. With a minimum of delay Mr. Chan Lim-pak and his colleagues hava brought us to the point we have reached to-day, when I have had the bonour of laying this foundation stone, which in a very few years' time will mean an addition to the revenue of the Hospital of over $20,000 per
Arift.
Taking Stock.
The matter of watching our In- venue has become, in the circums- tances of to-day, a more than usually like to important one, and I would refer to it rather more fully.
For years now the Tung Wah Hós- pital has been incurring large addi- tional capital expense in the cause of Hongkong charity at all its three large hospitals; but with the comple- tion of the Tung Wah Eastern Hos. pital, which we hope His Excellency the Governor will open to-morrow, the Committee can fairly say that they have reached a stage whero thoy! should pause and take stock of tholf resources.
All our developments mican-extra annual expenditure--not only for extra patients, but, with tho higher standards which general pro- areas has insisted upon, for each and every separate patient. I believe the Chinese community has such completo faith in the Tung Wah Committee that It will answer any call that the Com- mitteo decides to make; but I won- der whether we cannot reduce these enlls, and do it without in any way outraging the charitable instincts for which the Chinese people are so re- markablo
Too Much Charity.
An obvious method, of course, is to concentrate for a time on our revenue and endowment. A good start has been made to-day, and I should like to see the rest of this sito covered with buildings that will help us out still farther.". But there is the more important and diffienit question of the old Tung Wah Hospital itself. Its life is nearly done, and reconstruction must very shortly be taken in hand; but the nature of the reconstruction is the problem. If you had twenty such free hospitals in the Colony you would no doubt be able to fill them all; but I would ask the Committee and the community to harden its charitable heart just a very little, and to ask whether wo are not being ex- ploited to some degroo. Are
