There is nothing: more to it, until the policy is pro- duced the Omcials and the Public must carry on from day to day..
The need for a policy was in re- cent years first pressed by the late M. A. Cooper-which resulted in the Town Planning Report prepared by Mr Owen--which should" be re- published for the information of all Omcials and the Puble who, in the words of the old Hongkong Punch are to be invlied is talk as much as they like though no one, least of all the Secretary of Stato for
