COMMENT OF THE DAY

As

Squatter Re-Settlement

S with perhaps too many official enterprises within the Colony of Hongkong, little can be found that is seriously wrong with the suddenly an- nounced scheme for large-scale squat- ter re-settlement except from the angle that a realistic approach to the problem might have been manifested long ago. Several factors. have operated against speed of action-the essential survey Was not undertaken until twelve

months ago and the sudden loss of the individual selected to undertake the responsibility later threw Government out of its stride. For these reasons, eriticism cannot be too severe: rather we should congratulate ourselves that all the preliminaries may now be re- garded as completed and practical work is at last getting under way. It promises to be a costly business, with the official estimate in the region of $4,000,000, but there can be no quarrel with the need and the assumption is fair that the expenditure could very well be far less than might be easily involved by perpetuation of sore points. -the present unhealthily menacing conditions in so many of the camps. Government, too, is to be credited with thinking the problem through systema- tically. Provision has been made to meet all the objections that could be foreseen, before they arise. There is,

for instance, no intention to rush the transfers. Resettlement will proceed,

step by step, as development work in the selected areas progresses. No squat- ter will find himself evicted arbitrarily from his present place of abode with- out an alternative site offering sounder and more sanitary conditions. He will - unless he get security of residence flagrantly transgresses what are quite moderate regulations and the chances of the disastrous fires largely respon- sible for compelling Government action will be reduced to a minimum. Notable feature of the over-all plan, too, is the method devised of dividing the re- settlement scheme into two, one part contemplating the creation of some- thing akin to permanent housing es- tates' for those capable of contributing largely to the cast of new premises, and the other designed, to bring the semi-permanents into properly control- led areas. In process, numerous squat- ter eyesores, dangerous not only to the occupants but also to the community at large, will finally disappear. It is clear enough that a scheme involving more than 300,000 persons cannot be pushed to success overnight, nor yet in six months, but the conception has been. Government first-class and needs no apologies. What should be looked for is energy.
