To, the Editor of the China Mail] QUESTION BY MR. POLLOCK..

Dear Sir, I am one of those un- fortenate persons who (although almost "an old resident") am not in a position to give large sums of money to a War Memorial or aar thing else. I therefore did not attend the meeting last week but I should. notwithstanding this fact, like to ask yes to air my views on the subject in the briefest possible manner.

MOTION REGARDING BATHING DEICHES,

;

At the meeting of the Legislative Council to be held on Thursday, December 9, 1920, at noon, after the Colonial Secretary has submitted, the Financial Minates and the report of the Finance Commince, the Hon. Mr. H. E. Pollock, K.C, will ask the following question →→

In view of the fact that the ques- tion of giving greater popular repre- sentation on the Legislative Council in other Crown Colonies has been recently dealt with by the Secretary of State for the Colonies, will His Excellency the Governor send a des- parch to the Secretary of State to re- mind him that no answer has yet been " sent to the request from. Hongkong for greater popular représentation.

I am a civilian and have associated with members of the Army and Navy of all classes, and my experience of them, teaches me that to endeavour to have a meeting place for all the three estates is bound to be a failure. I am willing to subscribe a modest donation to an Army and Navy Chb and a YMCA. but the amalgama- tion of the two, I believe, would be disastrous. A long time ago I was
