In certain places a small percentage of the

rice crop was harvested in time, and I am told that up the North River some backward crops have actually survived the flood. Last

year the first crop was a total failure in the affected districts. But the damage to embankments seems to be even worse than last year and forces our attention to the 2nd. and 3rd. of the measures

mentioned above.

As a result of the combined efforts of reliev- -ing bodies, Immediate Relief is now no longer necessary. It gives place to the second phase, the construction of Autumn Barricades.

These are temporary banks built in a curve across the mouth of a breach and their object is to enable the second rice crop to be planted. They are things to be done at once, and finished with-in a month if the second crop is to have a

chance.

In the districts which I visited it was admit-

-ted that the need is not now for relief doles but for help in

building these Autumn Barricades.

On August 6th. at a general meeting of relief

bodies in the Canton Headquarters it was estimated that at least

£300,000 will be needed under this head, and Mr. Lei Yau Ts'un, the

capable director of Tung Ta Hospital relief measures in Canton, together with his colleagues, undertook provisionally to help

with g100,000, the remaining two-thirds being supplied by Canton relief societies. This has since been confirmed by the Hongkong

Committee. Payment will mainly be made in rice for the labourers,

and thus a double end will be served of continued relief and a

necessary public work.

It is early yet to talk about the third phase,

Winter Eubankment Repairs. These are a more formidable affair than

Autum Barricades, and it is absolutely necessary to deal with

them thoroughly, Last year, it will be remembered, Hongkong spent

8285,590, paid out by Mr. Tong Yat Chun and myself in instalments

of sub-coin direct to many different embankments. This year shows
