THE HONGKONG TELEGRAPH. THURSDAY, MAY
GOOD OLD BRITAIN, it retains its sparkle in commerce by its boundless enterprise,-retains
Ita leadership of the world's values in all commodities by its lovel hended manufacturers, whose scrupulous activities are divided only between giving honest value, and providing acceptable living conditions to their factory workers. Hats off then to the British manufacturer. Wo any without hesitation that, taking all grades of British manufac tures from furniture to footwear, you will discover no equal in the world for honest-to-goodness volue. Britain stands alone in this.
You, as a publle are being served generously by British manufacturers: what you pay for the products is between you and your retailer who is getting too much, and has nothing to do with the British manufacturer who is getting for too little, the fact in that dozens and dozens of fair price for their British manufacturers are not even getting a products, and any manufacturer or manufacturer's representative, or even responsible retailer will tell you this.
Let us go further and tell you a startling truth; in this Colony you have been educated to understand (and righ.ly) that British goods are the best in the world, but you have also been taught by suggestion, that you must expect to pay more for them. This is not true. Ank any Australian sheep farmer what he obtaina for his wool, ask the wool factor of Australia or Britain regarding his struggles to get quotations in minute fractions of a penny, and then finally discover from the big British manufacturer how he is compelled to quote in fractions of pennlor for made-up sehrments.
Last year, more than four thousand Inhabitants of Australia (n large proportion of whom were previously connected with the wool industry) left that Country because of the hopeless position between good wool and obtainable prices.
For years in Britain, a number of manufacturers have been working at practically no profit to themselves to maintain the values, which you Re a public. never see-Unemployment in Australia-unemployment in Britain, because the demand for British products is not sufficiently well-maintained by the British buying public.
Yet the Public is not to be damned, for it must of necessity rely for its education of values upon the retaller,and is badly let down..
We could give you endless instances of gross profit rising to 100% in the Colony on British manufactures.
And what is the adverse effect; We recently imported from a famous British firm of manufacturers of high grade knitwear, a number of genta white, guaranteed all-wool sweaters which cost us but two shillings and fivepence ench. We decided to retall these at three dollars and twenty conts each and thus give the Public the benefit of value being Offered by British mufacturers...
We could not sell them at this low figure, and we were finally com- pelled to raise the selling price before the publle would buy, and even then our price was 10% lower than theae were being retailed at else. where in the Colony.
If space permitted, we could quote you intimate knowledge of what must be one of the most unhappy economic injustices in the world to- day, unfair to the public, and unfair to the manufacturer, tragedy to the factory workers.
You require value, the manufacturer his fair price, the unemployed his work, and you can assist with the three objects by insisting that the prices being charged for the British products you purchase, are right.

Mona to be sented, he took an easy- chair.
"If you know so much about the household," Mona began, “then you know I haven't any Jewels to speak of. You know..."
He grinned brondly. "Give me the ones you don't talk about then." He removed a silver cigarette case from his pocket and flipped it open. "Smoke?"
The girls declined. The stranger selected a cigarette, lighted it and puffed as if he were there for the evening.
But he was in rather more of a hurry than had at first appeared. he said briskly, "Now then," "where's the safe?"
Without speaking Mona moved to the wall, pushed aside a tapestry, twirled a dial and flung open a small door. The safe was empty.
"I told you I had no jewels," she said. "My husband le saving them for the opera,"

She nodded coolly.
"Well, where does he keep them?" "In a safe deposit vault, I sup- pose, down town. I've never seen them. I've never been interested." "No?" It was difficult to believo this young man was a thief. He surveyed the situation as though were humorous. It appears we're both new at this game-you at owning gems and me at ac- quiring them. Bad racket for both of us, maybe. Well, if you haven't got them, that's that. But where la the chain you were wearing when
