100-Seat Majority For The Tories Is Forecast

London, Sept. 21.

Mr Winston Churchill's Conservatives will be re- turned to power with a margin of over 100 seats if voting in the October 26 elections follows estimates of public opinion,

But these straw polls were taken before the Prime Minister, Mr Clement Attire, :announced the election, and experience has shown that opinion tends to harden in the Government Party's favour as the election campaign goes, on.

HK's Poverty And Dirt

Lohia, eminent Indian Socialist,

anu poverty." He is not alone in his fegungs. Social welfare organisations, Government, and not à tew members' of the public have been conscious of tne problem for many years, and,. whether our visitor believes it or not, have been making serious efforts, to alleviate conditions. Apparently not fully appreciated by Dr Lohia is the fact that a great deal of the dirt and poverty has been superimposed on the Colony by an overwhelming influx of impecunious refugees from the hinter- land whose demands for accommoda- tion have meant overcrowded- negg. This does not absolve the public responsible authorities and bodies from the task of trying, to eliminate poverty and its accompaný-- ing evils, but it certainly does nothing to simplify the problem. It has one effect; it, tends to relegate out of sight the constant labours being performed·· by large segments of the community to correct the dismal situation. As a. result, the casual visitor sees before him grimy, unhealthy living conditions and instinctively comes to the con- clusion that nothing in being attempted to rectify affairs. That chia is not true is illustrated by the activities of Social Welfare in, the Colony by the schemes to construct" model, flats for workers; by the creation of refugee camps-under...official supervision; by the expansion of medical services; by the development of approved squatters areas. These represent positive.efforts to deal with the problem of poverty, a good deal of which has arison through circumstances"- beyond the control of.

in alums. His solution (a classic example of naivety and over- simplification) is to allow the slum. dwellers to share the mid-level, and Peak residences. Our distinguished *. critic appears to have lost sight of two points. 1, that slums are created principally through overcrowdedness; wherefore any domestic buildings, no matter their "geographical demarca- tion", will eventually become" stums" ir "

overcrowded. 2, that slum they are dwellers, moved to more commodious living quarters do not automatically Jose their habits and become model flat dwollers. Ignorance makes its con- tribution to poverty and squalor. The answer to that is compulsory universal education in Hongkong, which again is easier demanded than offected. Taking their place in the overall solution to the problem of slums, overcrowding, and poverty in town planning, the economic structure of the Colony and Hong- kong's dependence on prosperity and stability in other parts of the world. To state a case against our poverty and dirt is simple enough; to find means of- eliminating them overnight taxes in genuity beyond its practical bounds. A sense of perspective is needed and we, also feel we are entitled to recognition from our visitors that we are not unmindful of the complex problem, which poverty and overcrowding presents to the Colony-that-within- limits some of which are self-imposed because there does not exist a general appreciation of the magnitude or urgency of the problem, and some which are the outcome of natural handicaps within those limits, Hong- kong is trying Hard to gradiente poverty, grime, Ignorance, and disease.
