A motion by the Hon. Mr. M. K. Lo at the Legisla- tive Council meeting yesterday on the alloca- tion of rice to the colony and the quality re- ceived was passed without opposition, The motion voiced regret at the reduction in Hong Kong's allocation and concern on the effect of the cut, protested against the broken rice re- ceived and expressed hope of a better alloca- tion in future."

As from April 13, while the rise ration. remained at 64 tacls, it was necessary to reduce the leur ration to 3,2 trels.
