Trinidad, says a Bombay paper, may well be placed before the Etnpire as an 'awful example of how not to rulo a Crown Colony. Fortunately one does not often find such evidence of ignorant mis- government in British territory as is afford. ed by the report of the Commission of Enquiry into the recont disturbances at Port-of-Spain, Trinidad. Blinded by pride the Government and self-confidence 'plunged into the contest apparently with

having, by what doubt they conceived was a policy of firmness, brought the Colony to such a pass, the Government suddenly appeared to lose its nerve and has shown an extraordi. nary dislike to take further action. This combination of overbearing confidence and hopeless inefficiency is so remarkable that it suggests the need for strict inquiry into the effects of the system in other remote Crown Colonies. Do these little isolated autocratic administrations possess, in the smallest degree, the confidenco or sympathy of the people they rule? Do they conduct

It may be that the case of Trinidad is quite exceptional, but the unhappy revelation in that quarter must impress upon such a businesslike Minister as Mr Chamberlain the desirability of in- quiring a little more deeply into the Crown Colony system in small remote areas upon which public attention is rarely fixed.

When the emergency man 'is needed the policeman blows a trum pot. At the second the animals are loosed and rush to report for duty. They are trained to spring into the water, follow a track or join a man hunt along the docks.
A 'White Australia.'
Mr G. H. Reid, leader of the opposi- tion in the Australian Commonwealth Parliament, has declared that the White Australia policy has been thrown into the region of utter bathos and contempt by the Barton Government, principally by its attitude in regard to Lascar labour on mail-boats and British workmen. If he (Mr Reid) ever had a chance he would take that clause of the Act, and make it in- possible for respectable working men from England to be kept like prisoners on Australian shores.

About half a dozen Chinese secured admittance to the house by a ruse, and whilst Miss Bateman was lying sick in bed, two of them made a brutal attack upon her: Seizing her by the throat, they

Was he a removed in consequence of an intimation having heen received by the Government to 2 Coolies, the effect that, waless he was so removed, difficulties would be likely to occur in con-
nection with the supply of poultry to the public from tho Central Market?
Answer-Inspector McEwen was trans- ferred to Kowloon because it was consider- ed undesirablo to employ him in the Central Market.
