ROUTENG PROBLEM IS SERIOUS,

The cost of living in Hongkong has, it would appear, increased at a greater rate than either in England or the United States. In the Orient the native population" are coming more and more to enjoy the greater luxuries of the Western civilisation, and in consequence the demand for all essentials has greatly increased without s corresponding increase in the supply. This fact is most noticeable in Hongkong, and other circumstances, such as the influx of many Chinese from Canton and the greater independence of the working claases have created artificial conditions which are likely to become permanent.
