COMMENT OF THE DAY
Bear Garden Tactics
MB Gromyko has declared war on the Japanese peace treaty conference and has let it be known that he intends to go to the limits to obstruct eventual' conclusion of the agreement. President Truman anticipated this attitude by the Russian delegation in his inaugural. speech and shrewdly struck the first blow by inviting world opinion to note that those nations who attended the San Francisco conference for the expressed purpose of trying to prevent a peace treaty being signed could only be regarded as advocates for more war. Nor is this a wholly superficial line of reasoning. Whatever its defects, the draft treaty with Japán is at least a positive attempt to normalise and stabilise conditions in the Pacific. The Russians have no comparative construc- tive plan to offer as an alternative, and
the their protests" against
San Francisco treaty are accordingly the less Impressive It is evident from the outcome of the first day's proceedings. that Mr Gromyko and his Polish and Czech 'colleagues will fall completely to alter the determination of the vast majority of nations assembled at San Francisco to conclude a peace treaty

On the other hand, the Iron Curtain repre sentatives will certainly make fullest use of the concession which permits delegates to speak for five minutes on questions arising out of original speeches. Mr Acheson has been elected President of the conference and his most difficult task probably will be to see that the deliberations are invested with dignity. Yesterday the Russians, Poles and Czechs did their utmost to bring chaos and confusion to the con- ference room by Ignoring chairman's rulings and endeavouring to exceed the micro- time limits 'at phone. The
have Communists given notice that they intend to Indulge in bear-garden tactics through- out the conference, knowing full well that the most these can achieve is irritation and possibly delay final approval of the treaty. The Reds will probably make the San Francisco con- ference a dreary and, uncouth spectacle, but oven they will not be able to rob It of its historical importance.
Decontrolling The Hotels
THE sudden decision to revoke the regulations under which hotels aro controlled comes as something of n shock, but even more surprising is the revelation that large numbers of rooms which come under the terms of the Ordinance are today standing empty." This state of affairs cortainly suggests that hotel control regulations have become outmoded and superfluous. Fow if any, would advocate the imposition of controls just for the sake of having them in operation. They are designed to fulfil a specifle purpose, and orice circumstances have changed to render the restrictions unnecessary, l'it is, proper they should be removed: "Two
points were stressed at yesterday's Legislative Council meeting. One, that the hotels had given an assurance that bona-fide Hongkong, residenta now occupying accommodation under con- trolled rents would not have their rates increased for 12 months after Second, decontrol becomes effective. that food charges for these residents will remain under a certain degrés of control, but the hotels will be permitted to increase the maximum charges from $6.50 to $7 a day.

TO BE DEMOLISHED
Big New Building Planned
The Hongkong Hotel, one of the Colony's best known landmarks, is to be demolished and a new building erected on the site.
This was officially disclosed to the China Mail this morning.
Plans of the proposed new building are not yet complete, but it is envisaged that the hotel amenities will include approximately the same area now utilised in the existing hotel for restaurant purpose, and in addition about 100 bedrooms.
Six floors will be set aside in the new building for office accommodation.
