Keep. But danger in the case, of course, is to slide.
If a Crown Colony, it seems to me there should be no doubt as to the preponderance of the official vote, and I do not like running it fine and leaving it to chance.
Moreover, it consists (constantly to give the casting vote, and more the governor & seating on the Finance Committee of the Council without the governor, and there the official majority might be lost. Therefore, if an unofficial member is added, would add also another official.
Ho Kai is a representative, an Anglicised Chinaman, born in Hong Kong. From what Mr. Kornick and R. Keswick say, it would be distasteful to add to the Chinese representation; and yet can it be doubted that, if the unofficial element is to be increased, it ought in equity to be a Chinese?
On the whole, I would suggest that the number be not increased. We have had balting Achcherinrting, no one and fo krid a botig 87 from 4051.9.90. It is not thought advisable to increase the number of the Council.
Of the five Unofficial members, one is nominated by the Justices of the Peace; another by the Chamber of Commerce; only one of the five is a Chinaman. It was with some doubts and misgivings that a Chinaman was put on the Council at all.
The members in the unofficial Legislative Council be not increased for the reasons given on 4051.90 LP., that for real work the Council is long enough already, 2) because, if any addition is made, it ought to be rather the addition of a Chinaman than of a European. If, however, another European is appointed, an official should be added to counterbalance him.
The other point is the addition of an unofficial to the Executive Council. This has been done in a great many Colonies, and there is a good deal to be said for it. Yet I should not like the change to be made (i) because I think if...
