the public here, cause to ponder. Glasgow spends the equivalent of between 500 and 600 million Hongkong dollars a year an behalf of the citizens. This is roughly three times the Colony's current annual revenue. But for this expenditure the people of Glasgow possess 27 public libraries, containing a million and a half books; there is compulsory education for every child between the ages of five and 15; there ДЕС free medical services; and the Corporation takes responsibility for looking after orphans and unwanted children. How does Hongkong compare? Although revenue amount to a full third of Glasgow's, Hongkong has not a single public Ilbrary; bas no municipal building; has no general free education; has only a limited amount of free medical service; expects most social work to be financed
The by private donations. ironical touch given to the post-war slogan that Hongkong must be regarded as the shop-window of British life, Is that so little of Its civic aspects begin to measure up to the standards now enjoyed in Britain. This is one of the reasons why the work of the British Council in Hongkong. is so severely handicapped. How can the earnest representatives of that august organisation convince the people of Hongkong that the British way of life is incomparable when, in fact, so few of Ita intrinsic features are reproduced in the Colony? It Glasgow ran afford 27 public libraries, Hongkong should cnally be able to provide itself with at least one. If Glasgow can afford to provide for itself public buildings for the cultural, educational and social wel- fare of its citizens, why not Hongkong?
The danger which Hongkong runs today Is that it presents itself only 2424 commercial shop-window, which is but

Mr Me Anlan pald us too high a cumpliment when he decinred that “Like Hongkong, Glasgow has been built up by The voluntary efforts and hard work of a lot of people." Glasgow has so must more to show for those efforts than Hongkong. The Colony, it is readily admitted, le a shining example of concentrated, whole- hearted endeavour to aspire successfully to commercial pre-eminence in the For Enst. And it is something of which we need not be ashamed. The only flaw in that relatively little effort has been made to bring Its social achievements in line with those of industry and com. merce. The British Council and lots of other small organisations are doing their best to raise the cultural, educational and social level of the Colony, but their work is hampered by absence of physical facilities which, after all, represent n primo Incentive to such inbours, Nor ean there be discerned any serious long- term official plan to make good this deficiency. The question of municipal buildings including public library, con- cert hall, theatre and museum produces, when raised, only sardonic laughter from officialdom. The Abercrombie town planning report, it would seem, lng been pigeon-holed, and any serious reference to it now is likely to produce only. incredulous smiles that such a project should be taken seriously. In the mean- time, Government's credit balance aë between revenue and expenditure con tinues to grow apace, with never thought that at least soiae of it might be put aside for, say, just one public library.
It is to be feared that it will be a very long time before Hongkong can be com pared with Glasgow..
