Hongkong Telegraph. Sir-Thanks to the questioner' qi the Urban Council meeting, this wock has not been without its smile. For the benefit of those who did not seo the humour of the statement that "It is principally freight rates that do termine the price of Imported food- stuff," I give you the following figures which are actual facts,
"The rate of freight on, evaporated milk, for example, was US$10 per ton, weight, from San Francisco to Hongkong (rate not controlled in any way by anyone in Hongkong). At present exchange rates, an increase of 50 per cent. in the freight rate would have meant an increased cost per small baby tin, of HK$0.0955+. Actually, the increase is 20 per cont only, and amounts to HK$0.0022+ per is. Now you can see how much the froight rate has to do with "determining the price of imported foodstuff"?
"But for a real smile, remember that the freight rate from Hongkong to U.S.A. and Canadian porte on Wood Oil, Rattan Furniture, Fire- crackers, etc., has no bearing on the cost to you of anything you can cat bere, whether imported or locally

Also, it might not be amiss to state that if common carriers, sometimes known as "complacent dictators" cannot Increase their rates to meet increased operating costs, it is only natural that they will hold the childish view" that it is better to leave a commercial community fisL without even a one-way trade.
JUST A PROFTTEEN.,
Profiteering
Sir-We have been Instructed to draw your attention to the remarks on Profiteering by Mr. C. Champkin at the meeting of the Urban Council held yesterday as reported in your poper.
The actual position is that in the ense of shipments to and from the United Kingdom the war risk rate immediately prior to the declaration of war was 1⁄4%, and that this rate was approved by the British Gov- ernment, which undertook the major part of the risk. Since the outbreak of war practically the entire United Kingdom war risk business has been transacted by the Wur Hisks Insur- once Office in London set up by the Board of Trade under the provisions of the War Risks Instirance » Act. 1039. The present Wor. Risks In- soronce Offler · rates blurez-Vis Medllerranean, 45%; Vin The (Cope; 315.

We consider it unnecessary to add anything further to show that Mr. Chumpkin's remarks as regards pro- teering in Insurance were entirely misleading ond could only have been made through ignorance. A copy of this letter has been forwarded by us to the Chairman of the Urban Council.
