Before we were vcrlifted and Kazetted quallfed auditors for Chinese necounts and books, we had
undergo an examination before aj Committee of Ove Examiners special! ly appointed by the Government for the purpose. Subsequently, auditors' reports on Chinese statements to ne- counts of public and private-com- panies, or concerns certifled by those qualBed, were recpted by the Re- gistrar of Companies. This has been toing on for the past 23 or 24 years. Atcriover, ever since the enforcement of Stamp Ordinance, 1921, requiring | professional auditors to take out
i annual certificates to practise we have been paying an annual sum of $50. It now appears that we Chinese auditors can never have the privilege of getting appointments
from non- Chinese Companiça or firms, and con- sequently it is evident that we are only allowed to work for our fellow- Countrymen. Now, it we are barred from this our only source of income, how shall we be able to maintain stær Familles and pay the Government our annual fees.
As His Excellency the Governor has recently spent so much pains in. bringing Hongkong and Canton more closely together and the authoritics of our Meth County, have also work- ed hard with a view to reaching a mutual understanding, 1 respectfully
that and sincerely hope
no dis- crimination should be shown by the local Administration towards the re- sident Chinese community. Swettenham.

is true, is making, as is right and proper, a special demand on all Oxford men by means of widespread organization throughout the country. But while they will no doubt contribute generously, much help from outside is required and may reasonably be expected: for the services of Oxford are not only to its | graduates but to the country at large.

Oxford has relied re- cently for the great capital project of the Bodleian Library on American generosity. It cannot be doubled that the individual British benefac- behalt On tor will now do his part of so great a national interest.
It is the intention that contribu- tions to the Oxford University Ap- unless the peal shall,
contributors require otherwise, be held in Trust by the University. There will be a speciul body of seven Trustees who will ensure that the conditions are observed. The Chancellor will be the Chairman of the Trustees, and
there will be three members who are not resident teaching or adminis- tralive officers of the University, ap- pointed two by the Chancellor and one by the Counell of the Oxford Soclely. The other members will be. the Vice-Chancellor and two mem- ዘር bers appointed by the Hebdomadal Council. The objects of the Trust will be the promotion of higher study and research on the lines indicated in this memorandumri.
