during the last four months or so, was the introduction of the

Curfew. This suggestion received some support from certain

influential quarters, but it was considered to be unnecessary

and undesirable by the Hon. Mr. Chow Shou-son and myself. We

subsequently found that we had rightly represented the views of

the Chinese community, which were expressed at a meeting on the 8th July, of forty-five leading members of the Chinese community, inkluding practically all the Chinese Justices of the Peace. The proposal was put to them impartially, and our own opinion was withheld until they had made their decision. In view of the importanes of the subject which might again come up for consideration at some future date, I give below the full argu-

ments for and against the proposal.

Arguments in favour:

(1) The measure would have a good effect on the minds of

the law abiding people.

(2)It would not create any greater alarm than already

existed.

(3) It would lighten the work of the police. (4) The majority of the Chinese deserved no special

consideration since out of a million Chinese residents only 1,500 had volunteered for service at the time.

Arguments against:

(1) The people's minds had just become less agitated,

and a curfew might revive the panie. (2)Such measures would make the place look desolate,

and might deter people from returning to the Colony. (At that time comunication by sea with Canton had not yet been severed, and people vere daily returning here though in amall numbers).

(3) The gaol would not hold all those who would venture

without a pasă,
