"With reference to your let- ter regarding the establishment ot á Labour Bureau, I am directed to inform you that the Government does not pro- the pose to consider further question of the Registration of Employees until after the arri val of the new Governor." Under date of November 16,

1925, I forwarded to the Colonial Secretary the following:-

"The writer in conjunction with Mr. M. J. E. Mitchell re- cently laid before the Govern-, ment details in connection with the establishment of a Labour" Bureau which it was proposed to call the Hongkong Labour Bureau.

We laid the scheme before the Goyernment following its intimation that it would give deep consideration to any con- crete proposals for the opera- tion of a bureau by private en- terprise. We were then inform- ed that the matter was being left in abeyance pending the arrival.of the new Governor and we now' take this oppor- tunity of bringing the matter to your notice. There is, of course, nothing to hinder our going ahead with the scheme, but we prefer to have the official sanc-" tion and recognition of the local Government for many reasons. We feel that a Labour Bureau such as we suggested in our letter of October 3, 1925, would a long needed want in Hongkong. The question of voluntary registration of ser vants has been much discussed especially during the last few- months and we are certain that. the support of the community would not be lacking,"

"Awaiting your further advices.*

This was replied to under date

December 14, 1925.

With reference to your letter of November 16, 1925, I am directed to inform you that, on the instructions of His Ex- cellency the Governor, informá- tion is being sought from the Government of Ceylon regard- ing the organisation and work- ing of the system of registra- tion of household servants in.. operation in that Colony."

Little Marion liked to go to bed, but not too early. One evening she was sitting on her father's knee out on the Inwn when the curfew was heard.

"There, Marion," said her father admonishingly, "what does that mean?":

The four-year-old looked sweet- ly up into her father's face and said: "That's time for all little boys to go to bed.”
