the object inter alia of changing the principal
ordinance from an ordinance that, like most other
ordinances, is always in force to one which could be
brought into force at any time by proclamation by the
Governor and by like proclamation could be suspended
at any time.
As this appeared to be so much in point in
regard to the Hong Kong Ordinance I have obtained the
papers on which the Straits Settlements Amendment
Ordinance was sent home in order to see why it was
passed. It will be observed that the Attorney General
states in his report that it is not necessary that the
ordinance should be in continual operation, but that
at any particular time the desired information should
be forthcoming.

August, 1938.
The H.K. While differs from the a 2 months limiting
Straits in having
period instead of 3, v in being in force
all the time. I suggest that in both
prints they should follow Straits, & that
if they do, we
we may
asseme
that this
ordinance will attract no more notice
in H.K. then the corresponding
did in straits.

The Straits Ordinance of 1933 was based on a
F.M.S. Ox Enactment of 1921, i.e. of early post-
war vintage. Further it was subsequently amended
SO as to come into force or be suspended by
proclamation. In view of the present suspicion
of any system of compulsory service in peace time
I think it would be well to adopt a similar
provision in H.K. It will be a convenience, for I
much doubt whether public opinion would be
sufficiently enthusiastic to maintain a useful
register at all times.
suggest this amendment and approve intro-
duction of Bill.
