We would fain believe, however, that this effect will quickly pass away and be replaced by the hope that we must be near the turning in the loog lang.

THE remarks with reference to the Hongkong juuk trade which occur in the Trade Report for the part your by Mr McLeavy Brown, Commissioner of Chinese Maritime Customs for the Kowloon district, are interesting in themselves and still more up if we pom pare them with the observatione on the same subject which appeared in the re port prepared by Commander Hastings Acting Harbour Master of Hong kong. We need not go back to the statements made by Commander, Hastings. Although a great weight was given to them by unthinking per- 800s at first, and a great desi of more or Class ridiculous cackling was heard about 1.70 our junk trade being destroyed by the presence of Customs oruisers in que 141.colonist waters, it was doon shown that

tates to some extent the commission of these acts of piracy, but he admits that 175 the insufficient policing of the coast line makes this practice unavoidable. It is certain, however, that piracies would be very much less frequent were it not for the fact that large stores of arms and 75 ammunition, far beyond what is allowa ed for the purpose of protection, are readily obtained in Hongkong and are taken out of the Colony without special permit. This is proved by the fact that the detection at the Customs stations of arms and explosives on board jaoks ccusing out of Hongkong, inte l'excess of their authorised armament, fa

a matter of daily occurrence “But s 1.00 the largest quantities, Mr McLeary Brown adds, leave in junks which clear from harbours on the south side of the island and avoid calling at any Customs station. In view of these 0.75 facts which it will be admitted are of

an alarming nature, the suggestion which 1.00 Me MoLeavy Brown makes is very

much to the point. It is simply the restriction of the sale of arms and muni- tions to certain authorised shops, which should only be allowed to - sell to persons having a purchase per- mit from the police.
