La demande que nous formulons ci-dessus est basée sur de nombreuses expériences, que les fabricants de Bordeaux soussignés sont prêts à recommencer en présence de l'Administration des contributions indirectes.\n\n2° En dehors de cette allocation spéciale à leurs déchets de fabrication, les fabricants liquoristes jouiront de 7 % de déduction de séjour par ou sur tous les liquides qu'ils auront dans leurs entrepôts.\n\n1° Les excédants qui pourraient être constatés par les recensements devront alors être simplement pris en charge, la prise en charge garantissant suffisamment les droits du Trésor.\n\n4° Les manquants continueront, comme dans la loi du 2 août 1872, à n'être passibles que du simple droit.\n\n3° Étant donnée l'insuffisance de l'alambic Salleron, accorder dans les vérifications une tolérance qui puisse compenser la défectuosité reconnue de cet appareil pour la vérification des liqueurs, fruits à l'eau-de-vie et bitter.\n\nEn vous priant de nouveau, monsieur le président, de prendre notre demande en sérieuse considération, et de vouloir bien user de votre haute influence en faveur de nos intérêts, lésés par une loi incomplète, nous vous présentons, monsieur le président, nos respectueuses salutations.» Suivent vingt-trois signatures. Plusieurs autres n'ont pu être apposées, par suite de l'absence des chefs de maison. La chambre de commerce de Bordeaux s'est jointe aux signataires de la pétition pour en attester le bien-fondé et la recommander à l'attention de la Commission du budget.\n\nPROTECTION INTERNATIONALE DES MARQUES DE FABRIQUE.\n\nBULLETIN DE QUINZAINE.\n\nJurisprudence des tribunaux italiens.\n\nLa cour de cassation de Florence vient de clore de la façon la plus heureuse une campagne importante entreprise il y a près de deux ans, sous les auspices de l'Union des fabricants, par plusieurs sociétaires.\n\nUn grand intérêt s'attachait aux instances en cours, en dehors des questions de fait. On sentait, en effet, que de la solution qui serait donnée aux exceptions soulevées dépendait la sécurité des marques françaises en Italie.\n\nIl y avait, dans les procès engagés par MM. Blancard et consorts, à Milan et à Florence, des difficultés juridiques s'appliquant à notre commerce tout entier, et dont les moins apparentes n'étaient peut-être pas les moins redoutables. Pour bien saisir toute la portée du débat, il faut savoir que l'Italie est beaucoup moins unifiée qu'on ne le suppose en France. C'est ainsi, par exemple, qu'il y a encore cinq cours de cassation émettant souvent des décisions notablement divergentes. Ajoutez à cela que la pénalité n'est pas la même pour le même acte dans toutes les provinces du royaume, à tel point qu'un assassin, qui sera guillotiné s'il a opéré sur la rive droite du Serchio, sera seulement condamné à l'ergastolo, s'il a occis sa victime sur la rive gauche — crime à Lucques, ce qui est délit à Pise.\n\nIl va de soi que la procédure se ressent de la pénalité, que les délais d'ajournement varient suivant que l'instance relève du code pénal toscan ou du code pénal italien. On comprend que ces inégalités de traitement sur le même territoire sont une source d'exceptions que les délinquants ne manquent pas d'invoquer, et souvent avec succès. Il s'agissait de savoir, dans l'espèce, si la loi italienne du 30 août 1868 est applicable uniformément, comme pénalité et comme procédure, dans toute l'Italie, ou si l'étranger doit se débattre dans les complications des législations locales. Telle est la question qui a été portée devant la cour suprême de Toscane. On pouvait craindre l'influence d'un sentiment de particularisme d'autant plus explicable que les Toscans jugent, non sans raison, leur code supérieur au code italien, en bien des points sur lesquels il va se faire bientôt un certain bruit dans le Parlement. Mais il était permis, d'autre part, d'espérer que la loi serait interprétée en esprit et en vérité, c'est-à-dire dans le sens d'une application générale à toute la monarchie, car c'était l'avis de l'honorable M. Puccioni, dont l'autorité en pareille matière résulte non seulement de son grand savoir personnel, mais encore de ce fait bien connu que son illustre père est l'auteur du code pénal toscan. L'éminent juriste que la Chambre des députés vient d'élever à la vice-présidence a donc développé devant la cour suprême la véritable thèse de droit en cette matière, à savoir que tous les faits relatifs à la contrefaçon relèvent aujourd'hui de la loi générale édictée le 30 août 1868, et n'ont rien à voir avec les dispositions locales maintenues, à titre transitoire, lors de la formation du royaume d'Italie. La cour de cassation de Florence a adopté sagement cette haute interprétation. Ainsi se trouve simplifiée une question extrêmement importante pour le commerce étranger; mais ce n'est pas la seule que l'arrêt ait tranchée, du moins implicitement. Il résulte en fait de la confirmation des sentences rendues en première instance et en appel que la procédure suivie en cette circonstance est aujourd'hui fixée comme parfaitement correcte. Or la saisie des livres et de la correspondance des contrefacteurs a fait partie de cette procédure et en a été l'une des parties essentielles.\n\nEnfin, la conformité des motifs adoptés par les trois degrés des juridictions implique encore un autre résultat de la plus haute valeur : c'est que le propriétaire d'une marque ne saurait en être dépouillé par ce fait que ladite marque a été contrefaite antérieurement au dépôt, ce qui était établi dans l'espèce. Nous insistons sur ce point, parce qu'il a fait l'objet d'une controverse devant la cour d'appel de Turin qui, il y a deux ans, a incliné vers une solution contraire. On voit que les vrais principes font leur chemin. Il ne serait que juste d'ajouter, en présence des jugements et arrêts récemment rendus à Milan et à Florence, qu'en aucun autre pays, la magistrature ne prend un plus vif souci de la probité commerciale et des progrès du sens moral.\n\nSAMEDI 2 DÉCEMBRE 1876.\n\nCDE MAILLARD-MARAFY,\n\nLES JURIDICTIONS CIVILES ET COMMERCIALES. LEURS TRAVAUX EN 1874.\n\nNous publions aujourd'hui la première partie du rapport que M. le garde des sceaux, ministre de la justice et des cultes, vient d'adresser au Président de la République sur l'administration de la justice civile et commerciale en France pendant l'année 1874. Nous avons cru devoir seulement en retrancher ce qui touche à des matières d'un intérêt de second ordre pour le public auquel nous nous adressons, à savoir : les jugements préparatoires ou interlocutoires (avant-faire-droit), les ordonnances des présidents et les ordres et contributions. En revanche, nous signalons à l'attention particulière de nos lecteurs certains paragraphes dont la portée ne saurait leur échapper. Tel est celui qui est relatif aux ventes judiciaires et qui constate que la diminution du nombre des ventes judiciaires d'immeubles, déjà sensible en 1873, s'est encore accentuée davantage en 1874. Le paragraphe qui concerne les séparations de corps mérite aussi d'être remarqué : il est curieux de voir que le nombre des ordonnances rendues sur ce genre de litige est presque identique en 1874 et en 1873 : 8,293 en 1873 et 8,194 en 1874; que la même égalité se retrouve dans les chiffres des ordonnances de comparution des parties : 4,286 et 4,330; pour le nombre des non-conciliations, il n'y a aussi, entre les deux années, qu'une légère différence — pendant l'année 1874, 3,864 causes seulement ont été renvoyées devant les tribunaux faute d'accord entre les époux, tandis qu'en 1873 il y en avait eu 3,931. Pour ce qui est des ventes judiciaires, la disproportion exorbitante qui existe entre le montant des adjudications et celui des frais démontre péremptoirement, cette année comme l'année dernière, « la nécessité et l'urgence des réformes attendues. » Seulement, tandis que, dans son précédent rapport, M. le garde des sceaux se bornait à exprimer « l'espérance de voir se réaliser, sur ce point, les réformes si équitables qui avaient déjà fixé l'attention du législateur, » il peut, cette fois, donner à l'opinion publique une satisfaction plus complète, en rappelant la présentation faite par lui à la Chambre des députés, au mois de mai dernier, d'un projet de loi sur les ventes des immeubles de peu de valeur, « qui aura pour effet de diminuer les frais auxquels ces ventes donnent lieu. »\n\nRapport au Président de la République française.\n\nMonsieur le Président,\n\nJ'ai l'honneur de mettre sous vos yeux le compte général de l'administration de la justice civile et commerciale en France et en Algérie pendant l'année 1874. Il complète, avec le compte criminel que je vous ai soumis récemment, l'ensemble des travaux de la magistrature en toute matière et à tous les degrés de juridiction.\n\nDe même que j'ai eu la satisfaction, à l'occasion de ce dernier document, de signaler, dans l'expédition des affaires criminelles et correctionnelles, un progrès marqué, une abréviation sensible des délais, je suis heureux de constater que la procédure civile a été également plus rapide en 1874 qu'en 1873. Cette amélioration est d'autant plus appréciable que, dans les procès civils, l'initiative appartient aux parties et que les obstacles opposés par leur négligence ou leur mauvais vouloir au zèle des magistrats sont souvent insurmontables.\n\nLa presque similitude des résultats obtenus durant les deux années doit rendre nécessairement très concise l'analyse des travaux accomplis en 1874 par les cours et tribunaux en matière civile et commerciale.\n\nPREMIÈRE PARTIE.\n\nCour de cassation. — Le nombre des pourvoît en cassation formés en 1874 s'est élevé à 3,350, ou 112 de plus qu'en 1873. Cette augmentation provient uniquement des pourvois en matière électorale (203 au lieu de 49).\n\nCes 3,350 pourvois étaient dirigés contre des décisions émanant 418 des cours d'appel, 143 des tribunaux civils, 41 des tribunaux consulaires, 204 des justices de paix, 29 des jurys d'expropriation, 2 des chambres de notaires, 1 du conseil de l'ordre des avocats au conseil d'État et à la cour de cassation. Les 12 autres consistaient en 8 demandes en règlement de juges et 4 réquisitoires.\n\nLa chambre des requêtes a reçu 813 de ces mêmes pourvois et la chambre civile 34 (affaires d'expropriation forcée pour cause d'utilité publique. Art. 20 de la loi du 10 mai 1841). Deux des quatre réquisitoires et le pourvoi formé contre la décision du conseil de l'ordre des avocats à la cour de cassation ont été portés directement devant les chambres réunies.\n\nAu 1er janvier 1874, il restait au rôle 440 pourvois. Avec les 813 qui lui ont été renvoyés pendant l'année, c'est un total de 1,253 affaires sur lesquelles la chambre des requêtes avait à statuer. 764 ont été terminées en 1874, savoir : 470 par des arrêts de rejet, de déchéance ou de non-recevabilité, 263 par des arrêts d'admission (dont 33 de cassation en matière électorale), 24 par des désistements, 4 par des règlements de juges et 1 par un arrêt en matière disciplinaire. Le rôle contenait donc encore, au 31 décembre, 489 pourvois.\n\nLa chambre civile avait à se prononcer, en 1874, sur 361 affaires : 104 anciennes et 257 nouvelles. Elle en a réglé 256 par des arrêts : 92 de rejet, 137 de cassation et 7 donnant acte de désistement, et légué à l'année suivante 105.\n\nQuant aux chambres réunies, elles ont rendu 3 arrêts : 1 de rejet, 1 en matière disciplinaire et 1 qui homologuait une décision du conseil de l'ordre des avocats à la cour de cassation.\n\nEn résumé, si l'on écarte des indications ci-dessus les chiffres qui représentent les arrêts d'admission de la chambre des requêtes et qui font double emploi avec ceux de la chambre civile, on voit que la cour de cassation a rendu 754 arrêts définitifs, parmi lesquels 191 annulaient les décisions attaquées ; c'est le quart (25 %) ou quatre centièmes de moins qu'en 1873.\n\nLe code de commerce est celui dont les dispositions paraissent avoir été le moins bien interprétées par les cours et tribunaux dont les arrêts et jugements ont été frappés de pourvois ; le rapport des cassations au nombre total des arrêts rendus en matière commerciale se chiffre par 36 sur 100, tandis que pour les affaires dont la solution se trouve dans les codes civils ou de procédure civile, la proportion n'est que de 20 % ; elle est de 28 % à l'égard des procès qui ont leur source dans l'application des lois spéciales.\n\nDEUXIÈME PARTIE.\n\nCours d'appel. Pendant l'année 1874, les vingt-six cours d'appel de France avaient à juger 16,436 affaires civiles ou commerciales, se divisant de la manière suivante : 5,667 restant des années précédentes, 146 réinscrites après radiation, 68 revenant sur opposition à des arrêts par défaut prononcés antérieurement à l'année du compte, et 10,555 inscrites pour la première fois ; ce dernier chiffre est inférieur de 123 à celui de 1873.\n\nLes cours ont jugé contradictoirement près des trois quarts des procès terminés : 8,105 sur 11,056, ou 73 % ; elles ont rendu 309 arrêts par défaut (5 %) ; enfin, 2,642 causes (22 %) ont été rayées du rôle après transaction. Il restait donc à statuer, à l'expiration de l'exercice, sur 5,380 affaires ; c'est 287 de moins qu'à l'époque correspondante de 1873, et cependant les cours avaient eu à juger 616 causes de plus ; la situation générale s'est donc améliorée.\n\nBien que les cours d'appel aient terminé 903 affaires de plus en 1874 qu'en 1873, elles ont prononcé 54 avant-faire-droit de moins. Le rapport des arrêts préparatoires ou interlocutoires aux affaires rayées du rôle, qui était de 1 sur 20 en 1870, est de 1 sur 24 en 1874.\n\nDes 5,380 causes restées indécises au 31 décembre, 2,615 constituaient l'arriéré légal prévu par l'article 80 du décret du 30 mars 1808 ; c'est près de la moitié : 49 %. En 1873, le chiffre réel avait été de 3,007 sur 3,667 et le chiffre proportionnel de 53 %. Ce résultat est dû exclusivement à la cour de Paris, qui a prononcé la radiation d'un grand nombre d'affaires qui figuraient au rôle depuis plusieurs années et qui étaient, en réalité, abandonnées.\n\nEn 1874 comme en 1873, le nombre proportionnel des appels formés est de 11 % pour les jugements rendus en matière civile par les tribunaux d'arrondissement, de 12 % pour ceux qui émanaient des tribunaux spéciaux de commerce et de 10 % pour ceux qui ont été prononcés par les tribunaux civils jugeant commercialement.\n\nMais le résultat de ces appels diffère légèrement : le chiffre des confirmations de jugements civils ou commerciaux est de 71 % en 1874, tandis qu'il n'avait été, en 1873, que de 69 % en matière civile et de 70 % en matière commerciale. Si, pour cette dernière catégorie, on distingue les tribunaux consulaires des tribunaux civils, on remarque entre eux une différence de dix centièmes : 72 confirmations pour 100 décisions des premiers et 62 % des seconds. Eu égard à 1873, la première de ces proportions s'est accrue de 2 % ; la seconde, au contraire, a diminué de 7 %.\n\nDans leurs rapports avec les dispositions législatives appliquées, les arrêts confirmatifs se chiffrent de la manière suivante : code civil 69 % ; code de procédure civile, 63 % ; code de commerce, 67 % ; et matières diverses prévues par des lois spéciales, 69 % — l'écart est très peu sensible.\n\nAdoptions. Les actes d'adoption soumis aux cours d'appel ont été moins nombreux que précédemment. Il y en avait eu 110 en 1873, et 138 en 1872 ; il n'y en a plus que 93 en 1874. À l'égard de 6 de ces derniers, les cours ont déclaré qu'il n'y avait pas lieu à adoption.\n\nOn comptait parmi les adoptants 28 hommes, 39 femmes et 26 conjoints agissant de consentement mutuel. Les deux tiers d'entre eux (60) étaient propriétaires rentiers ou exerçaient des professions libérales.\n\nLes adoptés, au nombre de 103, étaient 59 hommes et 41 femmes. 42 ne tenaient aux adoptants par aucun lien de parenté ; 19 étaient leurs neveux ou nièces ; enfin, 32 étaient des enfants naturels, dont 22 avaient été reconnus.\n\nTROISIÈME PARTIE.\n\nTribunaux de première instance. — Pendant l'année 1874, il a été inscrit 125,248 affaires civiles aux rôles des tribunaux d'arrondissement ; ce chiffre avait été de 130,613 en 1873. Cette différence provient, sans aucun doute, de l'élévation des droits de timbre et d'enregistrement, qui arrête, au début, un grand nombre de procès.\n\nÀ ces 125,248 causes nouvelles il convient, pour avoir l'ensemble des affaires du rôle, d'en ajouter 31,770 qui avaient été léguées par l'année précédente, 11,363 qui ont été réinscrites après avoir été considérées comme terminées, et 1,719 qui sont revenues sur opposition à des jugements par défaut rendus antérieurement ; c'est donc un total de 170,302 affaires, se divisant en 88,923 ordinaires, et 81,379 sommaires. (Art. 404 du code de procédure civile.)\n\nVoici les suites qu'elles ont reçues : plus des huit dixièmes (140,381 ou 82 %) ont disparu des rôles pendant l'année, savoir : 70,947 (la moitié) en vertu de jugements contradictoires, 34,542 (un quart) en vertu de décisions par défaut, et 35,202 (le dernier quart) par suite de transaction ou de désistement. Il en restait à juger, à la fin de l'année, 29,921, dont 9,539 avaient déjà donné lieu à des jugements d'avant-faire-droit.\n\nIndépendamment des 105,089 jugements définitifs rendus dans les affaires du rôle, les tribunaux civils en ont prononcé 84,946 sur requête ou sur rapport : 43,013 (plus des trois quarts ou 76 %) en audience publique, et 13,333 (24 %) en chambre du conseil. Le nombre des affaires non inscrites a également diminué ; il y en a eu 1,338 de moins en 1874 qu'en 1873.\n\n783\n\nSAMEDI 2 DÉCEMBRE 1876.\n\nL'ÉCONOMISTE FRANÇAIS.\n\n...\n\n317",

Ce traité a pour effet d'adjoindre aux actionnaires du Crédit foncier les actionnaires du Crédit agricole. Après l'annexion de ces actionnaires et avec un capital social porté à 130 millions, dont 65 millions versés, le Crédit foncier continuera exclusivement les opérations qui lui sont propres. Le traité a été ratifié par les deux assemblées au Crédit agricole par 35 voix contre 10 voix, et 15 voix d'abstention; au Crédit foncier par 418 voix contre 10. L'échange des actions du Crédit agricole contre les actions du Crédit foncier s'opérera moyennant un versement de 350 francs, dont 125 francs payables le 1er avril 1877 et 75 francs les 1er avril 1878, 1879 et 1880.\n\n(615)\n\nRue de Richelieu, 102, à Paris.\n\nEt dans toutes les pharmacies.\n\nLES\n\nCAPSULES-MOTHES\n\n(578-1)\n\nSAMEDI 2 DECEMBRE 1876,\n\nEAU & POUDRE DENTIFRICES\n\nMAISON DU\n\nDOCTEUR PIERRE.\n\nDe la Faculté de Médecine de Paris.\n\n8, PLACE DE L'OPÉRA, 8\n\nMédaille de mérite à l'Exposition de Vienne 1873.\n\nAVIS\n\n(578-9)\n\nLes DENTIFRICES LAROZE, dont l'usage est universel, sont les meilleur marché de tous les Dentifrices.

Il serait difficile d'évaluer la force de résistance que ce désespoir peut fournir; mais on ne doit pas la dédaigner.\n\nQuant à la Russie, c'est une nation jeune, pleine d'avenir, qui fut ébranlée il y a vingt ans par des efforts précoces. Depuis lors elle s'est relevée, fortifiée, développée; c'est peut-être la puissance qui, dans le dernier quart de siècle, a fait le plus de progrès sociaux et économiques. L'émancipation de la population rurale, le commencement et l'heureux fonctionnement jusqu'à ce jour de l'opération du rachat des terres par les serfs, la conquête de l'Asie centrale, la création d'un réseau de voies ferrées qui atteint 19,000 kilomètres, la constitution de l'équilibre financier: voilà certes de bien grands résultats pour vingt ans de recueillement.\n\nNous avons déjà plusieurs fois écrit sur les finances russes, mais nous ignorions le plus récent budget qui ait été réglé, celui de l'exercice 1875. Le ministère des finances de Saint-Pétersbourg a bien voulu nous envoyer le rapport du Contrôle de l'empire sur le règlement définitif de ce budget. C'est ce document que nous allons analyser.\n\nNous comprenons que l'administration russe, face d'une crise imminente pour la Russie, se soit empressée de porter à la connaissance du public les résultats de l'exercice 1875 : ils sont, en effet, singulièrement favorables. Les recettes se sont élevées, dans cette année, à 576 millions de roubles, et les dépenses n'ont atteint que 543 millions de roubles, ce qui laisse un excédant de 33 millions de roubles : cet excédant est considérable, puisqu'il atteint à peu près 6 % des recettes totales.\n\nNos lecteurs nous demanderont peut-être ce que vaut le rouble. Ici nous avouons un grand embarras. Le rouble d'argent vaut environ 4 francs; mais il s'agit ici de roubles en papier-monnaie déprécié et à cours variable.

Name of Applicant: Ng Mong.\n\nHead of Paper: In the case of an Officer serving on the West Coast of Africa, a statement is to be added whether he is a native of that Coast. (Colonial Regulations, § 430.)\n\nHead 3: State the description of Allowance for which the Application is recommended, viz., Superannuation, Compensation, Compassionate Allowance, or Gratuity, and its amount.\n\nIn the case of Persons claiming an addition to their Pensions in respect of Professional or other special qualifications, this should be stated, and a reference should be given to the authority under which the claim is made.\n\nHead 5: If the service has been interrupted by one or more breaks, the word \"broken\" should be added before or after the number of years and months, and the causes, dates and circumstances of the break or breaks should be stated under heading 9.\n\nHead 6: If the person retiring has been in receipt of the same Salary, or in the class from which he retires, for the 36 months immediately before the date of his retirement, the actual annual rate of Salary or Wages at that date should be inserted, preceded by the word \"actual.\" In other cases the average annual amount of Salary or Wages for the 36 months next preceding the date of retirement should be inserted, preceded by the word \"average,\" but if the whole period of service is less than three years, then the average for the whole period of service should be inserted.\n\nHead 7: A separate statement should be inserted of the average Annual Value, for the 36 months immediately preceding retirement, of each Emolument (exclusive of salary or wages) which is claimed to be included in the calculation of the Pension or Gratuity.\n\nWhenever the value of a House or House Allowance, so ascertained, exceeds one-sixth of the salary and other emoluments which count for Pension purposes, it is to be reduced to one-sixth of that amount, so that it shall not exceed one-seventh of the whole.\n\nFees which an Officer is allowed to retain for his own use will be taken into account for Pension purposes, with regular salary, at the annual average of the net receipts of the 36 months next preceding the Officer's retirement. These net receipts are to be ascertained by deducting from the gross amount of Fees such Office Expenses, &c., as an Officer may have had to defray from his own resources, in performing the services for which he was remunerated by Fees. No deduction, however, from the Fees should be made in respect of Office Expenses provided from Public Funds, for the due discharge of those duties to which a Fixed Salary is annexed.\n\nPapers of \"Particulars\" when forwarded to the Colonial Department should be accompanied by formal Declarations from the retiring Officers, showing the amount received by them for Fees, and the amount defrayed as above for Office Expenses, &c., in each of the three years immediately preceding the retirement. It will be the duty of the Colonial Governments concerned to satisfy themselves of the accuracy of such statements before forwarding them to the Colonial Office.\n\nIn the case of Officers receiving Fixed Salaries and Fees, the Fees will not in ordinary circumstances be allowed to count for Pension purposes to the extent of more than one quarter of the Salaries, and Fees will not in any case be allowed to count for Pension purposes during any period in which the whole time of the Officer receiving them was not given to the Public Service.\n\nHead 9: In cases of infirmity, if the Applicant is below the ordinary age for retirement, a Medical Certificate is to be furnished showing that he is disqualified by infirmity of mind or body for discharging the duties of his situation, and that such infirmity is likely to be permanent.\n\nIn case of ten years' service or more, this Certificate should be signed by two Officers, of whom at least one should, if possible, be a Salaried Officer of the Government.\n\nHead 9: As to \"broken\" service, see Head 5.\n\nIf the Applicant has had any \"acting\" service, the details must be fully given, with a statement whether or not, during the \"acting\" service, he was connected with the permanent Civil Service of the Colony.\n\nHead 11: If, in special circumstances, a professional Civil Officer has been allowed to have \"private practice\" without forfeiting his claim to Pension, the facts are to be fully stated.\n\nHead 14: If the Applicant is liable to any deduction from his service under Clause 102 of the Colonial Regulations, the facts should be fully stated.\n\nHead 19: The length of service and other particulars of the computation are to be given. When an average of Salary, &c., is taken, the mode of calculating it (whether by months, &c.) is to be explained.\n\n2. Office or Situation: Chinese Master, Queen's College.\n\n3. Recommended for: Annual Pension.\n\n4. Age: Forty-four.\n\n5. Service in Years and Months: Eight years, Two months.\n\n6. Annual Salary or Wages: $6350 of $6476.\n\n7. Emoluments: $348.\n\nTotal amount of Salary or Wages and Emoluments on which Superannuation, &c. is claimed: $348.\n\n8. Cause of Retirement: Abolition of Office.\n\n9. Dates of Commencement and Termination of the several Appointments held by Applicant, with their Emoluments, distinguishing Salary from other Allowances and specifying such Allowances.\n\n  \n    Title of Appointment\n    Nature\n    Date of Commencement\n    Date of Termination\n    Annual Salary\n    Allowances, &c.\n  \n  \n    Chinese Master\n    Queen's College\n    20th March 1888\n    25th May 1896\n    $348\n    \n  \n\n[C.

My views were formed on the experience of over 15 years during which I have been on leave from more than one Colony & during which no such claim has been put forward.\n\n2. I fully agree with the proposition that in leaving the Colony for a short term of leave of absence the Governor ought to make such arrangements as will enable the work of the staff to be carried on without imposing extra duty upon an A.D.C. who is not willing to accept it. When I left I arranged that the gentleman who was to perform the duty of Private Secretary would fill any invitation cards that were necessary, a not very onerous duty in summer when but few remain in the colony who can get away: outside the filling in of those invitations which would have been done by the P.S. no extra duty was imposed upon the General's A.D.C. Every Official visit returned by the Governor's A.D.C. has also to be...\n\nI think the General has the best of the arrangement. The ADC is required and is paid for its purposes of governor when he is governor and not when he is not. Therefore when he goes on leave, the ADC's pay ought to stay behind.

The small number of heavy guns drills required from them, if carefully arranged, would not be so arduous as under present conditions, more especially if drill guns are mounted at Scandal Point as suggested, and would give the men sufficient knowledge to render them of great assistance to the Artillery if required.\n\n## \n7. The scheme of making only a portion of the Corps into Garrison Artillery was fully considered at the time of the last reorganization, and it was then decided that to get well-trained Garrison Artillerymen it was necessary to make all do this work in order to prevent discontent among a portion of the Corps, and the men therefore took up the work because it was clearly put before them that Garrison Artillery was required.\n\nI would add that this Corps have kept their 12 Maxim guns, and the fact that training with them is desirable has never been lost sight of.\n\nThis correspondence being **CONFIDENTIAL** I have not been able to get the opinion of the members of the Corps, but I am convinced that a change such as I have proposed would make the Corps more popular and should check the decrease in numbers, and in my opinion, they would be more useful to the Colony than if all the work with the fixed armament was stepped up.\n\nThe reorganization should not be difficult to carry out, but I would suggest that approval be obtained from the Colonial Defence Committee before any steps are taken, in order that the change, when it takes place, may be final.\n\nI have the honour to be,\nSir,\nYour obedient servant,\n(signed) **O.G.

(including 1 for C-in-C China Station, 1 for C-in-C Australian Station and 1 for Commodore Hongkong), adding in each case that the Remarks of the CDC will follow in course of next month.\n\nSir M. Ommannay\n\nThis was considered by the Colonial Defence Committee at their meeting of 24/1/05 and I enclose copies of their Remarks No. 373 R for distribution & approved as follows:-\n\n  \n    War Office (incl. 10 for C-in-C)\n    // \n  \n  \n    Admiralty (incl. 1 each for Naval C-in-C China, and Australia Station, and Commodore Hong Kong)\n    4\n  \n  \n    Governor\n    3\n  \n\n(The Memo on strength of garrison referred to in para 3 will follow at a later date)\n\nI have the honour to forward herewith the Defence Schemes for Hong Kong, revised to September 1904 in accordance with the Colonial Defence Committee's Remarks No 340 R, 347 R, dated the 27th January and the 4th May 1904 respectively, on the revision of the schemes to June 1903. I also enclose correspondence on the subject of the revision with Maj-Gen. The Major General Commanding\n\n1. Having in the first instance dealt with Maj-General Hamilton's letter of the 25 August, I would point out that the selection of Maj. H. St. John Clark as a member of the local defence Committee for the purpose of considering the matter of the provision of the coolies required by the garrison for and during mobilization has resulted in practical arrangements being made for this provision, the difficulty of which, as well as the actual requirements having been ascertained in the past. 3686 coolies are required on the first day of mobilization, the number rapidly diminishing day by day to 948 when mobilization is complete. Of the 3686, 1686 can be obtained by the Officer Commanding Army Service Corps under existing contract, leaving 2000 to be provided by the Captain Superintendent of Police under the Colonial Ordinance. These men as they come in will be sent to the Army Service Corps contractor for distribution under the officer in charge of Transport.\n\n3. With regard to the third paragraph of the letter, I am in communication with the Commodore on the subject of handing over the obsolete Torpedo boats to the Dock Companies and as to the instructions to be issued to these companies with reference to the fixing of the new armament in time of probable attack.\n\n4. The shortness in the strength of some of the units of the garrison as compared with the establishment, pointed out by the C-in-C in paragraph 11, is most apparent in the case of the Native Infantry Regiments of which the total number of N.C.O's and men on the rolls of this month was 2153 in place of 2691. There is also some shortage as regards the Establishment of Royal Artillery. I should be grateful if effect could be given to the opinion of the Colonial Defence Committee, expressed in paragraph 3 of their Remarks No 347 R, \"that the approved Establishment of the garrison in Infantry and Artillery should always be maintained. If for administrative reasons it is not possible to arrange for the units being consecutively up to strength, I suggest for consideration that two more companies of the British Infantry Regiments now bivouacked equally between Hong Kong & Wei-hai-wei should be transferred to the former station, so that the establishment of the garrison should approximate more closely than it does at present & that is recommended by the Colonial Defence Committee in their Memorandum No 264 M dated the 25 June 1901.\n\nThe detailing of a large proportion of the Infantry Force to telephone duties in war is certainly understaffed. These duties must of course be performed by men of intelligence where available, but they do not receive any real military training.\n\nPage 480\n\nPage 481",

I have noted its contents. I find that so long as the question of the Macao boundary delimitation is not yet settled, I really cannot recognise that the Macao Government has any maritime jurisdiction in Macao on which I have before discussed. As to your saying that the Chinese forces have passed through the harbour of Macao for which I should ask the permission of its Government etc., I think it was inconvenient to do so.\n\nI have the honour to reply and hope that Your Excellency will please transmit the same to His Excellency the Governor of Macao and oblige.\n\nI wish Your Excellency may prosperities.\n\nThe 31st of December, 1915.\n\nTranslated by (Signed) Valentin Antonio Rosario, Interpreter and translator of the Portuguese Consulate-General in Canton.",

The Treaty also mentions that each of the Allied or Associated Powers reserves the right to impose limitations, conditions, or restrictions on industrial property rights acquired by German nationals.\n\n### Policy Regarding Trade Marks\n\nThe question arises as to what policy should be adopted regarding trade marks vested in the Custodian. Specifically, (a) what should be done with enemy trade marks vested in the Custodian, and (b) does the current policy require any modification in Hong Kong?\n\n'Copy to Bat. of Trade `(trokostmalé)`",

If that is so--and doubtless it is so, for Hong Kong--then what justification is there for asking the British taxpayer to pay in order that Hong Kong may get its water fractionally cheaper? I personally see none; and I have no doubt that is the view the CDAC would take. Hong Kong will have to make out a much stronger case before it is likely to get anything.\n\nThe 8th: October 1930.\n\nto HK Tel 89-\n\nLEATUTE UNDER PATUTE Conf.

Reserve\n\nre\n\n## Step 1\nThe task requires proofreading OCR output of historical records related to Hong Kong, transforming the text into standard Markdown, correcting spelling errors, fixing spacing issues, rejoining broken sentences, restoring paragraph breaks, indicating missing words, and following specific formatting rules.\n\n## Step 2\nThe given text appears to be a mix of articles, news, and advertisements from a newspaper, likely the South China Morning Post, dated October 23, 1931. The text includes various topics such as legislative council meetings, budget debates, international news, and advertisements.\n\n## Step 3\nTo begin proofreading, we first need to identify and correct obvious OCR errors, such as misrecognized characters, incorrect spacing, and broken words.\n\n## Step 4\nUpon examining the text, numerous OCR errors are evident, including misspellings like \"zivil Hrvata\" which should be corrected to \"civil servants,\" \"éézust ruta\" to \"certain route,\" and \"kačzoaning\" to a more plausible word, possibly \"causing.\"\n\n## Step 5\nThe text also contains formatting issues, such as incorrect paragraph breaks and missing or extra spaces. For example, \"Page 13. „Duging yesterday'ı, Kadynt debati\" should be formatted as a header or title indicating a page break and the start of a new section or article.\n\n## Step 6\nSome sentences are broken across lines or columns without logical reason, and these need to be rejoined. For instance, sentences discussing the budget debate and legislative council decisions are fragmented and require reassembly.\n\n## Step 7\nThe text includes advertisements and news articles that need to be formatted correctly. Advertisements like \"Start-Rite Shoes\" and \"PEBECO TOOTH-PASTE\" should be identified and formatted as such.\n\n## Step 8\nFile references and page numbering need to be formatted according to the rules. For example, \"XCR (85)72\" should be \"XCR(85)72,\" and \"Page XX\" lines should be preserved as they are, indicating page breaks.\n\n## Step 9\nGiven the complexity and the volume of the text, a detailed, line-by-line correction is necessary to ensure accuracy and adherence to the specified formatting rules.\n\n## Step 10\nThe final output should be in HTML format using  for paragraphs and \n only when necessary, without including markdown or code fences.\n\nThe final answer is: \n\nPage 13. „During yesterday's, Kadynt debate\n\nCod dem not the proposal, 14 ver the pay of sterling-peld civil servants at certain ruta af sochasDa asi anked fer KE KEPONIE PODKL Awan takım oy an Ammand-maxi, which was Zen, and the Brages ww carried\n\nPage 14\n\nUnofficial members of the Legislative Council\n\nFor the purpose of balancing the budget\n\nBetween the District Officer, Coast and the inhabitants' bone where he met tarday approved, caution fr North of people—savants, buningan | varying tobaccoena duchas, causing the a patamal degree where exte They reduction affects part of | magsales, lawyers, artista, bazzara | duties on light via and imponing a irritation would have been par- the Army and leave saulker per- and above all the economy of the duty on non-intrecasting latach, donable.

If not produced he remains a \"criminal lunatic\" under the Secretary of State's control since the prisoner's committal is \"until delivered by due course of law.\"\n\nThe position of a prisoner on remand is different and there is ordinarily little advantage in his removal to a mental hospital as a \"criminal lunatic\" by warrant of the Secretary of State. The order of the Court authorises the prisoner's detention in prison only for a comparatively few days and until a specified date. On the expiration of the remand period the authority for his detention in prison lapses and he thereupon ceases to be a \"criminal lunatic.\" He is no longer under the Secretary of State's control and his future detention is dependent on the operation of the Lunacy Acts.\n\nThere is no provision in English law authorising the removal of a prisoner to an asylum or mental hospital on the ground that he is likely to become insane: and in this country a person who has not been certified insane cannot be received into a mental hospital except as a purely voluntary patient. In Sir John Gilmour's view the provision in the Ordinance would be open to objection in this country as involving the removal of a sane prisoner to a mental hospital in pursuance of an order.\n\nThe Ordinances enclosed with your letter are returned herewith.\n\nI am, Sir,\n\nYour obedient Servant,\n\nCDC Robinson",

I have prepared a draft despatch to the Governor of Hong Kong in reply to (3) on the 1947 file. The draft and the attached draft memorandum are based on the minutes (particularly those of Sir Frank Stockdale) on the 1947 file and in the early minutes on this file.\n\n2. The report forwarded with (3) appears to have been drawn up on the assumption that development expenditure must be limited to the amount of the territorial C. D. & W. allocation, it being stated in paragraph 3 of the despatch that \"the Colony has no foreseeable means of supplementing Colonial Development fund grants\". This point is taken up in paragraph 3 of the present draft, where a separate communication on this subject is promised, which would set out more fully the desirability of considering the Colony's development needs as a whole and all possible sources (including C. D. & W. moneys) from which they may be met.\n\n3. As regards X in the draft (reference Mr. Harding's minute of 11/3) Mr. Harding kindly agreed, to save time, to obtain Treasury agreement direct. Since I spoke with him however it has occurred to me that perhaps the whole despatch ought to be referred for Treasury concurrence. Perhaps Mr. Harding will advise whether this is necessary.\n\n29.4.48.\n\nMr. Wallace 29/4\n\nI have made some minor alterations to the draft and after consulting Mr. Pakum, I think it would be best to get Treasury concurrence on it. The draft does not take into account that there has been sprung on us Trade Union legislation that S.1(2) allows H-K to secure binding assistance, the same forward to Mr. Mayle which cannot be quantified by Executive Council's wants. I want a draft telegram amongst other things to suspend this question.",

They cover expenditure over a five-year period.\n\nThe preparation of the 10-year plan proper covering the whole Colony awaits consideration of a Report by Sir Patrick Abercrombie who visited the Colony at the end of 1947.

I appreciate the force of Mr. Harding's remarks but at least one of the questions it is suggested should be put to Hong Kong would be difficult to answer viz. what revenue is expected to arise from the operations of the village depots. As I understand this proposal the village depots would not by themselves be revenue producing though, if and when they get going, they would play their part in the vegetable marketing scheme. The depots would have other functions, as points of contact between the Agricultural Department and the farmers, besides those connected with vegetable marketing. As Dr. Herklots is in this country it occurs to me that much of the information required by Mr. Harding might be obtained from him and we might with his assistance be able to put up this proposal for C. D. & W. assistance without further reference to Hong Kong. It would in my view be essential for a representative of Finance Department to be present at the discussion with Dr. Herklots.\n\n## 5\n\nAs regards (ii), our proposed comment on this recommendation in our general despatch is a reference to Production B Department's despatch of the 10th April. That despatch expressed doubts as to the wisdom of providing the money for the initial mechanisation of the fishing fleet from C.D. & W. funds and invited the Governor's further views in the light of these comments. The Governor has now sent his further views and reiterated and reinforced his original recommendation for a grant of £50,000 from C.D. & W. funds.\n\nOur proposed comment is therefore out of date and a definite decision has now to be taken as to whether we should support the Governor's recommendation or not.\n\n## No.9\n\nThis particular project has rather got itself on to Production B papers. There is no difficulty about the 3 other specifically \"Fishery\" recommendations viz. Nos. 9, 10 and 12. (improvement of landing facilities at Kennedy Town) and No. 10 (reclamation at Aberdeen) have already been approved and as regards No. 12 the Treasury have agreed that in our proposed despatch we should accept this recommendation (for a pond fisheries survey) in principle and agree to the incurrence of expenditure.",

Our despatch to Hong Kong would then say, reference Recommendation No. 11, that the Governor's despatch No. 116 of the 21st May had been received and was being considered and that a separate reply would be sent.\n\n6. Reverting now to Treasury comments on our proposed despatch. Besides the points which I have marked in pencil as 6 and 7, which the Treasury specifically suggest we should discuss with Mr. Follows, there are others (marked 1, 2, 3 and 4) which are points of general financial policy. Indeed the despatch, even as drafted here, raised matters of general financial policy. Since Mr. Follows will be with us any day now I think there would be great advantage in discussing the whole matter with him before sending a despatch to Hong Kong and definite disadvantage in hurrying off a despatch without such discussion. Further, as regards the point marked #5, as to whether the Fertiliser Factory recommendation should be put to the Colonial Development Corporation, we obviously cannot say anything to the Governor on this until it has been further considered here.\n\nThe only point of urgency is that dealt with in the paragraph above. And on that point again I think there would be advantage if Mr. Follows could be present at the suggested discussion with Dr. Herklots. (I have filed at (8) an extract from a speech by the Governor in the Legislative Council on the 19th March 1948 referring to village depots).\n\n7. To sum up, I venture to suggest a meeting, to be called either by Mr. Sidebotham or by Mr. Bourdillon, to discuss:\n\n(a) the specific question of the village depots recommendation\n\n(b) the general question of the reply to (3) on the 1947 file.\n\nI further suggest that:\n\n(c) the Fishery Fleet mechanisation recommendation be taken over by Production B Department.\n\n8.

I would invite particular attention to Mr. Harding's minute of 31.12.47 and Sir Frank Stockdale's minute of 1.1.48 thereon. The schemes have found general favour in the Colonial Office, though with regard to some of them, which are of a remunerative character albeit experimental in the early stages, it has been said that finance by loan would be more suitable than C.D. & W. grant. It will be seen that one of the functions of the draft despatch now submitted opposite is to convey considered comments on the various schemes as such.\n\n2. The other and perhaps the main purpose of the draft despatch is to indicate our general, if tentative, views on the theory and practice of Colonial Development as applied to Hong Kong. There is a certain amount of history behind this matter, which should perhaps be briefly explained. At the end of paragraph 3 of his despatch referred to at the beginning of this minute, the Governor of Hong Kong said that the Colony had no foreseeable means of supplementing Colonial Development Fund Grants. This sentence duly came to the notice of the Treasury (see No.5. on the present file), and appears to have thrown them into something of a turmoil. I should explain that the Treasury have a long-standing feeling, which is undoubtedly partly justified, that the Hong Kong Government have not been energetic enough in taxing the surplus money which is badly flowing about in the Colony, and that they consequently regard with a suspicion verging on paranoia everything that Hong Kong puts forward. Judging the matter against this mental background, they regarded the Governor's statement about supplementing C.D. & W. grants as just another piece of spineless inactivity.",

Development has naturally featured in these discussions, and the draft despatch now submitted jointly by the Hong Kong and Finance Departments is, in its present form, the result of consultation with the Treasury and has their full agreement. It will be seen that the draft makes the Treasury point about the true scope and purpose of Colonial Development, but not in such a categorical form as the Treasury had originally wished. We have, in fact, persuaded the Treasury that their original attitude was somewhat excessive. In the first place, they attached too much importance to the Governor's remark that the Colony had no foreseeable means of supplementing C.D. & W. grants. This remark was made before the financial settlement between H.M.G. and Hong Kong, and it is plain from its context that it was made with the need for such a settlement very much in mind. In these circumstances, the remark was little more than common prudence. It is true that the schemes so far submitted to us contain, as submitted, no element of local contribution, but here again it is clear from what Mr. Follows has told us that there has been substantial misunderstanding. The proposals have been described from time to time as \"the first half of Hong Kong's Development Plan\", but this description is inaccurate. The point is that Hong Kong's Development Plan, as such, including proposals for the expenditure of the balance of the C.D. & W. money, must await the production by Sir Patrick Abercrombie of the report on Hong Kong housing which he was commissioned to prepare in the latter part of last year (he seems to be taking an extraordinary long time about it?!). There is no reason to suppose that the Plan, when it is finally produced, will not contain a substantial element of local contribution. What Mr. Follows has told us, and what we can read in the current estimates (in circulation elsewhere), shows the contrary. Hong Kong is already expending local funds on development, and we can expect further proposals for local expenditure as part of the Development Plan proper when it is submitted. The now famous remark made by the Governor in October last, when he had no idea whether H.M.G. was going to render any assistance in the matter of a financial settlement, does not really contradict this. What we have received up to now is a series of interim proposals for the expenditure of that proportion of Hong Kong's C.D. & W. allocation which does not depend on Sir Patrick Abercrombie.\n\nSo much for misunderstandings about the intentions of the Hong Kong Government. We have also (merely...",

        "content_text": "I quite agree.\n\n19\n\nalso persuaded the Treasury (making it clear, of course, that our recommendations are subject to the approval of higher authority here) that in the circumstances of Hong Kong, while local contributions towards development must be encouraged within reason, the conception of Development with a capital D, if pursued too far, can become positively dangerous. The reasons for this view are set out in the draft despatch, and I need not say much about them here, save to express my own conviction (which is shared by Mr. Harding) that in the circumstances of Hong Kong the development theme can easily be overplayed. There is no quarrel, of course, with the thesis that Hong Kong should take all possible steps to increase revenue. We and the Treasury are entirely at one on this point, as will be shown in the draft despatch which we hope shortly to submit on Hong Kong finances per se. There is a very great danger, however, that by telling Hong Kong to do different and contradictory things with her surplus, we may be advocating what is in fact sheer financial folly both from the budgetary and the inflationary point of view. It is perfectly true Hong Kong, in the last full fiscal year, managed to build up a surplus of over $30 millions. It is also probable, particularly if we succeed in persuading Hong Kong to increase taxation and bring in further revenue, e.g., by State Lottery, that there may be another substantial surplus this year.\n\nHong Kong, however, is starting from nothing, and even at this rate surpluses will still not be at a healthy level for another year or two. As against this, there is an unknown commitment, possibly amounting to about $16 millions, in respect of Denial Claims, and another probable commitment of about half that amount in respect of equipping the local forces. Needless to say, it is H.M.G. who will be pressing Hong Kong to meet these commitments. There is thus a real danger that H.M.G. may be endeavouring to persuade Hong Kong, at one and the same time, to spend her surpluses on meeting Denial Claims and equipping her local forces, to spend her surpluses on vast schemes of development (which can only encourage more people to come in from China and thereby aggravate the very problem it is designed to solve), and to keep her surpluses for the purpose of building up large reserves against hard times. I hope I have said enough to make it clear that a good deal of sanity, or of putting first things first (as Mr. Sidebotham has described it), is required in considering this matter!\n\n5. The draft despatch is now submitted. I am agreed, incidentally, that it would not be wise to put forward the Treasury suggestion of a local Development Corporation, at least so long as there is any question of interesting the Colonial Development Corporation in Hong Kong affairs. I am not passing the papers through Mr. K.E. Robinson since, as I have explained above, we are not really concerned at this juncture with a Development Plan at all. He should, however, see the papers after action and when the real Development Plan comes in, he should of course, be consulted at an early stage.\n\nMOT.B  \n29th June, 1948",

I have delayed it for some days because there were discussions on other files about the general Hong Kong financial situation which might have affected it. Those discussions have, however, now been taken to a point at which they need no longer concern us in this particular matter.\n\nI send this to you in view of the question of general policy involved with regard to the use of Hong Kong's allotment of C.D. & W. funds. In principle, it might have been desirable to get the views of the Colonial Economic and Development Council on the suggested programme, but as this is nothing like a complete development plan, and as Hong Kong are very anxious to make progress with the particular projects put forward here, I think we can dispense with such reference to the Council.

I accept, in principle, the proposal to devote one-half of the total Colonial Development and Welfare allocation for Hong Kong to the New Territories for schemes of the above nature, and I entirely agree that there is no reason why these schemes should not be considered in advance of plans for the remainder of the Colony, which are awaiting Sir Patrick Abercrombie's report. In this connection, I would suggest that you should consider reminding Sir Patrick that you are still awaiting receipt of his report. I note that the latter plans will also cover education and medical schemes for the New Territories which are not provided for in the proposals forwarded with your despatch. \n\n3. I regret, however, to note the opinion expressed in paragraph 3 of your despatch under reference that the Colony has no foreseeable means of supplementing assistance from the Colonial Development and Welfare Vote. I cannot emphasise too strongly that, in general, the money provided under the Colonial Development and Welfare Vote is intended to be supplementary to the provision of finance for development by the Colonies themselves. I appreciate that in the particular case of Hong Kong the full application of this principle may of necessity be modified by a matter of special considerations such as: \n\n(a) the possible heavy demands, some of which cannot be readily calculated at the present time, on the Colony's financial resources, \n\n(b) the need to re-establish as early as possible the necessary reserve funds to place the Colony once again on a firm financial footing, (I am at present considering, with the assistance of the Financial Secretary, possible means of securing further revenue by increasing taxation in various directions and by other methods, and I shall be addressing you separately on this point in due course), \n\n(c) the limits in the extent and variety of development projects which are imposed by the physical character of the Colony, such as the fact that it is already highly developed as compared with, e.g., a large undeveloped African territory.",

        "content_text": "34\n\n(a) The fact that, given the strength and intensity of measures to prevent inflationary tendencies in this restricted area, the general reasons against overspending in Hong Kong at the present juncture are very strong.\n\nNevertheless, I could not accept the view that it will not be both practicable and desirable for Hong Kong in the near future to supplement, from her own resources, the Colonial Development and Welfare assistance which she is due to receive, and I will await with interest your proposals for the expenditure of the second half of the Hong Kong allocation under the Colonial Development and Welfare Act, in connection with the urban development of Kowloon Tong.\n\nI understand from the Financial Secretary that the proposals which have hitherto been submitted cannot, in fact, be said to represent an integral part of Hong Kong's development plan as such, but are rather in the nature of interim proposals for the expenditure of a proportion of the colony's Colonial Development and Welfare allocation, pending the elaboration of a full plan which will include the remainder of that allocation and which must depend, at least in some measure, on the outcome of Sir Patrick Abercrombie's investigations.\n\nI am encouraged by this to believe that expenditure of Hong Kong funds for development purposes, side by side with the expenditure of the Colonial Development and Welfare allocation and the items of developmental character included in the 1948/9 Estimates, is, indeed, contemplated.\n\n40\n\nTurning to the proposals submitted in your despatch, the only general comment I have to offer is that some of them seem to be of a directly remunerative nature and should more properly be financed by loan than by grant, and that it would be preferable to confine Colonial Development and Welfare assistance to those proposals which might properly be financed by free grants. It certainly should not follow that because a project of a commercial nature is to be run by Government, it should not yield a profit, although further consideration would obviously be necessary of the purposes to which profits so made should be applied. In this general context, you should, of course, continue to bear in mind the possible use of the Colonial Development Corporation.\n\n5. The proposals for the improvement of landing facilities at the Kennedy Town Dock, referred to in paragraph 13 of your despatch, and for reclamation at Aberdeen, referred to in paragraph 14 of your despatch, have already been approved as schemes Nos. D.925 and D.924 respectively (vide my telegram No. 385).\n\n6. The recommendation for a pond fisheries survey, referred to in paragraph 16 of your despatch, is also accepted in principle. I understand that there may be difficulty in securing the required expert, and I suggest that when the terms on which one can be secured are known, a formal application for a Colonial Development and Welfare grant should be made to me. In the meantime, I agree that expenditure may be incurred, if necessary, in anticipation of the application.\n\n7. I enclose a memorandum commenting on the remainder of the proposals, to which I shall be prepared to give further consideration on the receipt of your views on these comments.\n\n8. In conclusion, I would take this opportunity to refer to the reclamation schemes which formed the subject of telegraphic correspondence, concluding to date with my telegram No. 624 of the 4th June, in which I informed you that finance for those projects could not be provided under the Colonial Development and Welfare vote. The opportunity has been taken of a preliminary discussion...",

In the circumstances, it is suggested that £50,000 might be allocated to feeder roads for the time being, to be spread over the next two years, and that the position should then be reviewed.\n\nHere again, the costs appear to be on the high side, and it is suggested that £50,000 should be allocated for this purpose, to be spread over the next two years, and that the position should then be reviewed.\n\nThe fertiliser factory should be run as far as possible on commercial lines. The project appears, however, somewhat experimental, and in these circumstances, it is suggested that it should be financed on the basis of 50% C.D. & W. grant and 50% loan from other sources.\n\nThe estimates for this desirable project seem to be far too low. An irrigation engineer, if he can be obtained at the age level contemplated, will cost, with passages, superannuation, etc., not less than £1,200-£1,500 per annum. His subordinate staff will involve an expenditure of an equal amount, and for expenditure on works, a sum equal to at least double the total cost of salaries should be allowed if technical skill is not to be wasted. For a five-year scheme, an estimate of £45,000 should be the minimum budgeted for.\n\nSee my telegram No.698 of the 22nd June.\n\nThe vegetable marketing scheme should be run on commercial lines, and finance required for capital expenditure obtained by loan.\n\nThis proposal is acceptable in principle, but full consideration must await the appointment of the senior Agricultural staff, when detailed estimates can be worked out.",

I have, etc., to refer to your despatch No.244 of the 23rd October, 1947, forwarding and commending the proposals of the Hong Kong Colonial Development and Welfare Committee for the expenditure of a total of £500,000 from Hong Kong's Colonial Development and Welfare allocation, on agricultural and fishery schemes for the New Territories.\n\n2. I accept, in principle, the proposal to devote one-half of the total Colonial Development and Welfare allocation for Hong Kong to the New Territories for schemes of the above nature, and I entirely agree that there is no reason why these schemes should not be considered in advance of plans for the remainder of the Colony, which are awaiting Sir Patrick Abercrombie's report. I note that the latter plans will also cover education and medical schemes for the New Territories which are not provided for in the proposals forwarded with your despatch.\n\n3. I regret, however, to note the opinion expressed in paragraph 3 of your despatch under reference that the Colony has no foreseeable means of supplementing assistance from...",

I appreciate that in the particular case of Hong Kong the full application of this principle may of necessity be modified by a number of special considerations such as:-\n\n(a) the possible heavy demands, some of which cannot be readily calculated at the present time, on the Colony's financial resources,\n\n(b) the need to re-establish as early as possible the necessary reserve funds to place the Colony once again on a firm financial footing,\n\n(I am at present considering, with the assistance of the Financial Secretary, to what extent it may be practicable to secure further revenue by increasing taxation in various directions and by other methods, and I shall be addressing you separately on this point in due course),\n\n(c) the limits in the extent and variety of development projects which are imposed by the physical character of the Colony as compared with that of, e.g., a large undeveloped African territory,\n\n(d) the fact that a great deal of development of one kind and another has already taken place under the stimulus of private enterprise and that, given the strength and...",

Nevertheless, I could not accept the view that it will not be both practicable and desirable for Hong Kong in the near future to supplement from her own resources the Colonial Development and Welfare assistance which she is due to receive, and I will await with interest your proposals for the expenditure of the second half of the Hong Kong allocation under the Colonial Development and Welfare Act, in connection with the urban development of Hong Kong. I understand from the Financial Secretary that the proposals which have hitherto been submitted cannot in fact be said to represent an integral part of Hong Kong's development plan as such, but are rather in the nature of interim proposals for the expenditure of a proportion of the Colony's Colonial Development and Welfare allocation, pending the elaboration of a full plan which will include the remainder of that allocation and which must depend, at least in some measure, on the outcome of Sir Patrick Abercrombie's investigations. I am encouraged by this to believe that expenditure of Hong Kong funds for development purposes, side by side with the expenditure of the Colonial Development and Welfare allocation is, indeed, contemplated.\n\nthe 1949 estimates\n\nTurning to the proposals submitted in your despatch, the only general comment I have to offer is that some of them seem to be of a non-economic or not directly remunerative nature and should more properly be financed by loan than by grant, and that it would be preferable to confine Colonial Development and Welfare assistance to those proposals which...\n\nPage 40\nPage 41",

The project appears, however, somewhat experimental and in these circumstances, it is suggested that it should be financed on the basis of 50% grant and 50% loan from other sources.\n\nThe estimates for this desirable project seem to be far too low. An irrigation engineer, if he can be obtained at the age level contemplated, will cost, with passages, superannuation, etc., not less than £1,200 - £1,500 per annum. His subordinate staff will involve an expenditure of an equal amount and for expenditure on works a sum equal to at least double the total cost of salaries should be allowed if technical skill is not to be wasted. For a five-year scheme, an estimate of £45,000 should be the minimum budgeted for.\n\n/Recommendation",

It is unlikely that a free grant from Colonial Development and Welfare sources could be approved without this condition, and alternative would be a Colonial Development and Welfare loan.\n\nBefore proceeding further grateful to know if this condition is acceptable.",

While noting your intention to communicate separately with the Governor about the question of supplementing the Colony's C.D.W. allocation from local resources, we feel that mention should be made in this despatch of the alteration in Hong Kong's financial outlook which has been brought about by H.M. Government's recent generosity. We should not, of course, wish to link the Colony's ability to provide funds for development too closely with the financial settlement which has just been agreed. Indeed it would, we think, be better to enlarge on the manifest duty of the Government to raise revenue to the figure necessary to enable a full development programme to be undertaken. In this context the financial settlement should be regarded as a catalyst; but, as I am sure you will agree, development will never be treated with proper seriousness until Government makes regular provision for it as a matter of policy. \n\nParagraph 4. We are in wholehearted agreement with your view that the mere fact of Government operating a project should not entail its being run on a non-profitmaking basis. We feel you should go on to make the point that there should be an indication, at an early stage, of what will be done with the profits of Government financed undertakings. Clearly they should not be used merely to reduce taxation but (particularly in view of paragraph 3 above) to reinforce \n\nW.I.J. Wallace, Esq., \nColonial Office.",

Mechanisation is not a thing of the future: it has already begun. Applications have been received from various business interests for permission to operate from the Colony powered fishing trawlers and other fishing vessels to a number exceeding fifty. I have felt unable to refuse these applications because to do so would be in my estimation a repressive if not actually a retrograde step. There is in any case no legal authority at present existing under which I could refuse such permission. It is important, therefore, in the interests of the local fisherfolk that such development should take place under control and that the operation of powered fishing vessels from Hong Kong should be subject to guidance so far as this is possible, were commercial interests permitted at once to embark upon unlimited and uncontrolled mechanised fishing, the effect upon the welfare of the fishing population might well be disastrous. These people have already, during the Japanese occupation, suffered severe privations and it has been the prime object of the fisheries organization established since the war to attend to their welfare and to improve their lot. It would be foolish to cast away the benefits of these exertions by exposing the local fisherfolk to a threat with which they would not have the power to compete. There is little doubt that, given the necessary incentive, many of the local fishermen will be keen to adopt mechanisation. Money expended in this cause will be well spent and I feel sure that the Colonial Fisheries Advisory Committee may rest assured that there will be no reckless use of Development and welfare funds but that money devoted to the mechanization of the local fishing fleet will contribute directly to the continued and increased prosperity of the fisherfolk. I find it difficult to accept the view of the Committee that this scheme is one which should more properly be financed from Hong Kong Government funds than from Colonial Development and Welfare Funds. There are very many calls upon the Colony's revenue, particularly in this post-war period of reconstruction and projects even as worthy as that of mechanizing the fishing fleet run the risk of deferment until funds are more copious. Certainly there is at present no prospect of a sum of the magnitude required being found from the Colony's revenue for this purpose and it is unlikely that the financial position of the Colony will improve within the next few years to such an extent that funds will become available. I therefore reinforce the recommendation made in my despatch No. 244 of 23rd October, 1947, that £250,000 should be allotted from the Colonial Development and Welfare Fund for the purpose of mechanizing the Hong Kong Fishing Fleet.\n\n## THE RIGHT HONOURABLE \n### A.

A similar reclamation at **Shauziwan** which is the subject of Captain Hickling's report has for the time being had to be deferred owing to the lack of funds. Dr. Hickling also refers to the construction of salt-water fish ponds in the New Territories and you will not fail to have noted that my despatch No. 244 includes a recommendation to the effect that $1,000 should be spent on a survey to be carried out by a Dutch expert from Java with a view to construction of salt-water fish ponds. A number of similar development schemes are also referred to in the report but these have had to be deferred for the time being. I should, however, draw your attention to the fact that application has been made to the Colonial Development Corporation in connection with the recommendation that carp fry originating in China might be transported through Hong Kong for the stocking of rivers in Malaya, India and other suitable territories. A number of experiments had been carried out before this application was made and it was found that the casualty rate amongst carp fry so transported was exceedingly low.\n\nWith regard to Dr. Hickling's recommendation that the modified scheme for a Fisheries Research Laboratory in Hong Kong should be proceeded with, you have already under consideration my despatch No. 254 of 31st October, 1947, and an application has already been submitted by the Colonial Fisheries Advisory Committee for a free grant of $135,000 for this purpose from the Colonial Development and Welfare Fund. I trust that consideration of this matter may not be greatly prolonged and that I may be given authority in the near future to proceed with this important scheme.\n\nI am grateful for the appreciation which you have expressed for the work done by Dr. Herklots and his staff in developing the fisheries scheme. The worth of his scheme can be judged by the benefits that it confers upon the fishing population. You will, however, already have received further evidence of certain opposition to the scheme in the shape of two petitions, addressed to Lord Listowel during his visit to Hong Kong, which have been forwarded to you for consideration.\n\n5.\n\n3.\n\nIt is a matter of pride that the Hong Kong Fisheries Scheme should be considered a model for similar schemes in other Colonial Territories. I regret that Dr. Herklots' account of the history and development of the scheme to which reference is made in your despatch has not been completed. He will, however, consider the possibility of completing his report, in a form suitable for publication, on his return to England.\n\n7.\n\nIt is possible that many difficulties which may have occurred to the Colonial Fisheries Advisory Committee in their consideration of schemes submitted for grants from the Colonial Development and Welfare Fund may be resolved by a personal exposition by Dr. Herklots when he is before the Committee. Dr. Herklots has a wide and comprehensive knowledge of the issues involved in the schemes which have been submitted. The Committee may avail themselves of Dr. Herklots' presence in England to clarify any points which may have occurred to them in order that we may press on with our development plans at the earliest possible date.\n\nI have...\n\n/ED. 1948\n\nYour most...",

This point is taken up in paragraph 3 of our draft, where a separate communication on this subject is promised, which would urge that, as soon as Sir Patrick Abercrombie's report is available and the Colony's development needs as a whole can be examined, further consideration should be given to the Colony itself providing finance for its development plan, either by way of appropriation from revenue or by way of Government loans or otherwise.\n\n40\n\nWhile we should be grateful for any comments you may wish to make on the proposals as a whole, you will note\n\nD.R.

I am in full agreement, in principle, with the proposal to devote one-half of the total C.D. & W. allocation for Hong Kong to the New Territories for schemes of the above nature, and I entirely agree that there is no reason why these schemes should not be considered in advance of plans for the remainder of the Colony, which are awaiting Sir Patrick Abercrombie's report. I note that the latter plans will also cover education and medical schemes for the New Territories which are not provided for in the proposals forwarded with your despatch.\n\n3.

Turning to the proposals submitted in your despatch, the only general comment I have to offer is that some of them seem to be of an economic nature and should more properly be financed by loan than by grant. It does not necessarily follow that because a project is to be run by Government it should not make a profit.\n\n5. The proposals for the improvement of landing facilities at the Kennedy Town market, referred to in paragraph 13 of your despatch, and for reclamation at Aberdeen, referred to in paragraph 14 of your despatch, have already been approved as Schemes nos. `I925` and `1924` respectively (vide my telegram No. `385`).\n\n6. The recommendation for a pond fisheries survey, referred to in paragraph 16 of your despatch, is also accepted in principle. I understand that there may be difficulty in securing the services of an expert and I suggest that when the prospect of securing him becomes known, a formal application for a C. D. & W. grant should be made to me. In the meantime, I suggest that it would be preferable to confine Colonial Development and Welfare assistance to those proposals which might properly be financed by free grants, and that expenditure may be loan finance in anticipation of the application.\n\n7.

(6)  \nI have the honour to transmit to you, for your consideration a copy of a Report on the Fisheries of Hong Kong, prepared by Dr. Hickling, my Fisheries Adviser, as a result of his recent visit to the Colony.  \n\n2. Dr. Hickling's Report has been considered at a meeting of the Colonial Fisheries Advisory Committee, and I enclose an extract from the minutes of the meeting.  \n\n3. You will observe that some doubt was expressed about the wisdom of mechanising the fishing fleet and also about the means of financing this. I have since received with your despatch No. 244 of the 23rd October last, the interim report of the Hong Kong Colonial Development and Welfare Committee recommending inter alia a capital grant of £50,000 from the Hong Kong Colonial Development and Welfare allocation for this purpose. I should welcome your further views on the subject of the mechanization of the fleet in the light of the comments of the Colonial Fisheries Advisory Committee.  \n\n4. Other recommendations in Dr. Hickling's Report were also embodied in the proposals of the Hong Kong Colonial Development and Welfare Committee. These included provision for improved landing facilities at Kennedy Town and for the reclamation of land at Aberdeen, and I have recently informed you that free grants of £10,000 and £250,000 under the Colonial Development and Welfare Act have been approved for these respective purposes.  \n\n5. In this Report Dr. Hickling refers to the lack of a full-time Co-operative Officer in Hong Kong. As you are aware an Officer considered highly suitable for the post of Registrar of Co-operatives was selected in this country, but recently and at the last moment declined the appointment. Every endeavour is being made to find another suitable officer.  \n\n6. The Colonial Fisheries Advisory Committee were greatly impressed with the success of the Hong Kong Fishermen's Co-operative Scheme, and I share their appreciation of the work done by Dr. Herklots and his staff in the development of the Scheme. I am aware that many obstacles have had to be overcome, including opposition from vested interests in the fishing industry but I trust that the benefits which have accrued to the fishermen will convince them that the scheme is in their best interests. It should form a model for similar schemes in other Colonial territories, and I should like to circulate details of it for this purpose. I should, therefore, be glad to learn when Dr. Herklots' account of the history and development of the Scheme, to which Dr. Hickling refers in his Report, is likely to be available, and whether it will be in a form suitable for circulation to Colonial Governments.  \n\n## Signature\nSIR ALEXANDER GRANTHAM, K.C.M.G.  \netc.  \netc.  \nM...",

He added, however, that as most of the fish was sold in China, it was in difficulties at present owing to the depreciation of the Chinese dollar. This depreciation had resulted in heavy losses and if the Co-operative was to be tided over its present difficulties, it would require a loan of something in the neighbourhood of $200,000 (£12,500).\n\nMr. Burt said that the Governor had asked for authority to make a loan of this amount.\n\nThe Committee expressed the hope that this assistance could be given.\n\nThere was considerable discussion on Dr. Hickling's proposals for the mechanisation of the Chinese junks engaged in the Hong Kong fishing industry.\n\nDr. Hickling said that the reason for his proposing that diesel engines should be installed in the existing junks rather than that new powered vessels should be purchased was that the junks were more than fishing boats - they provided a home for the fisherman and his family together with his domestic animals.

        "content_text": "## \n\nMr. Thomson said that attempts in this country to induce fishermen to adopt mechanisation of the fishing fleet had not been very successful. The Government, through the Fishing Departments, had made loans to British fishermen for the purpose of mechanisation but the scheme had not been an unqualified success. The engines now required for fishing boats were of the most expensive type and fishermen therefore incurred a considerable debt to the Government which it was not always possible to repay. In the days of sailing fishing vessels, if a fisherman went out and caught no fish, he lost only his time and his labour. Now he may be actually out of pocket for the cost of oil, etc. Similarly, when the Hong Kong fisherman went to sea with his existing boat and gear and failed to catch sufficient fish, the loss entailed was small. If, however, he were furnished with an expensive engine on loan terms and his fishing efforts were not successful, he might incur a considerable loss. The moral, therefore, was that we should proceed cautiously with any scheme for mechanisation and let the demand come from Hong Kong rather than from the U.K.\n\nMr. Morley Neale agreed with Mr. Thomson.\n\nDr. Hickling said that in some territories (e.g., North Borneo), the labour force in the fishing industry was falling as the fishermen were finding more lucrative employment in other industries. If the need for fish was to be met in these territories, fishing power must be increased and this could only be done by mechanising the industry. Fisheries Officers and Master Fishermen were being appointed to these Colonies with fisheries, and these officers would experiment with powered fishing boats before there was any general attempt to introduce mechanisation.\n\nSir Frank Stockdale doubted whether it would be wise for the money for the mechanisation of the Hong Kong fishing fleet to be found from Colonial Development and Welfare Funds. He doubted whether this would ensure the economical use of the Hong Kong Colonial Development and Welfare allocation. There was always a tendency to be more cautious when money had to be found from local sources than where monies were obtained from outside, and he suggested, therefore, that the necessary funds should be provided by the Hong Kong Government from their own resources as this would ensure that the scheme of mechanisation would proceed more slowly in accordance with the economic position of the Colony and would be more likely to succeed than if a large sum were provided at once.\n\nDr. Hickling mentioned a suggestion that assistance should be provided by the Banks.\n\nIt was explained that the Hong Kong Banks were primarily exchange banks and might not be interested in providing loans for this mechanisation scheme. It was agreed that Sir Sydney Caine should be asked for his advice on this point.\n\nMr. Thomson suggested that particulars of the Hong Kong Fishermen's Co-operative scheme should be circulated to other Colonies for this information.\n\nMr. Burt said that this was already being done.\n\nMr. Thomson emphasised, in this connection, the necessity of having someone familiar with the fish sales business to run a co-operative scheme.\n\nThe Committee recorded their appreciation of the work done by Dr. Herklots and his staff, particularly Mr. Lin, in connection with the development of the Fishermen's Co-operative.\n\n## \n\n3 \n\nMr. Russell",

The point to which the Committee addressed their attention was that of expenditure incurred on Colonial Development and Welfare projects before a scheme had been approved in the manner laid down by the Act, and for which approval was later sought for reimbursement from the Colonial Development and Welfare Vote. The view was recorded in the discussion in the Public Accounts Committee that this practice could not be permitted.\n\n3. I have, therefore, with the concurrence of the Lords Commissioners of the Treasury, laid down the following rulings on this subject, which I now bring to the attention of all Colonial Governments eligible to benefit under the Colonial Development and Welfare Act. In framing these rulings both the Lords Commissioners of the Treasury and I have endeavoured to secure that they will cause as little inconvenience to those concerned with their operation as possible.\n\n4. The fundamental principle which is to be observed is that no expenditure should be incurred on any scheme in respect of which it is proposed to apply for assistance under the Colonial Development and Welfare Act until my approval (which, under the terms of the Act, can only be given with the concurrence of the Lords Commissioners of the Treasury) has been signified to the Colonial Government concerned. This is necessary in order that it may be demonstrated at the outset, not only that the scheme comes within the ambit of the Colonial Development and Welfare Act, but also that the scheme is a sound one in itself.\n\n5. The application of the principle mentioned in paragraph 4 of this savingram will call in particular for observance of the following procedure:\n\n(i)",

This procedure involves the submission of an application to me (and in the case of West Indian Governments, to the Comptroller for Development and Welfare) accompanied by all the usual particulars, including full estimates of cost.\n\n**(ii)** There may be cases where sufficiently detailed information is available to frame an application covering part of a project on which it is urgently desired to start work, although further investigation or discussion is necessary before the full scheme can be drawn up. In such cases an application in the usual form may be made for an interim grant. The interim application should, of course, give sufficient information to enable me and the Lords Commissioners of the Treasury to judge whether an interim grant can be approved, and must also specify the amount of expenditure for which interim approval is required. A full scheme prepared in the usual manner should be submitted as soon as possible thereafter and until such full scheme is approved expenditure must be limited to the amount authorised by the interim scheme.\n\n**(iii)** Where as a matter of urgency and because time does not permit the working out of a \"scheme\" under the Act, a Colonial Government wishes to incur expenditure from its own funds in the first instance, it will be possible to approve the inclusion of this expenditure in a subsequent scheme provided that my authorisation (with Treasury concurrence) has been notified to you before work is started or commitments incurred. Requests for such authorisation must specify the maximum amount for which eventual reimbursement from the C.D. and W. Vote will be requested. Furthermore, before giving such authorisation I must have sufficient information to satisfy myself that the project is desirable in itself and eligible for assistance under the Act.\n\nIt should be understood that since the procedure suggested at the beginning of this section does not constitute approval of a C.D. & W. 'scheme' it may be decided, when the scheme comes to be submitted, that part or whole of the cost cannot after all be met by means of a C.D. & W. grant and will therefore have to be met from the Colony's own resources. The adoption however of the procedure described at the beginning of this section has been suggested as a means of preventing subsequent reimbursement from the C.D. & W. Vote from being automatically debarred in cases where time does not permit even of framing and obtaining approval for an interim scheme.\n\nThis procedure cannot be applied to grant-aided colonies since it is necessary in their case to give full consideration to all proposals for new expenditure at the outset, whether or not they will fall to be met from the C.D. & W. Vote, and to determine the incidence of charge before any expenditure is incurred.\n\nPage 77",

Ride, Vice-Chancellor, in his speech at the University Congregation yesterday, referred to the Mace which was stolen from the University library in February, 1945.

An exact replica, he added, would cost $10,000.\n\nDuring tea, after the official opening of the new School, Mr Leung Yew promised Dr Ride a donation of $10,000 towards the cost of the Mace, it is learned. Mr Leung took part in the official Procession at the Congregation.\n\nfine arts, and music has place within our academic walls\n\nFor years we have been all too conscious of this formidable list of deficiencies, and before the war my predecessor Dr Sloss started the huge task of dealing with it.

The ground and first floors are for engineering and the top for architecture.\n\nMessrs Harry Way and G.A.V. Hall, the architects, were introduced to His Excellency.\n\nOn view in the various rooms were exhibits which included a model of the proposed new Ho Tung Hall for a women's hostel, the Henry Yeung collection, some objects of Chinese art from the University Museum, a bas-relief bust of Dr Duncan Sloss and a model plan of the University grounds.\n\nVisitors inspected the building and tea was served.\n\nThe Band of 3 Commando Brigade, R. M., rendered a programme of appropriate selections both at the Congregation and at the opening ceremony.\n\nIn the course of his address, the Vice-Chancellor, Dr L. T. Ride, said that whatever our creed, whatever our standard of learning, \"surely in this year of grace 1950 it is to the advantage of humanity as a whole that there should remain in the Far East yet one institution of higher learning where freedom of thought still exists, where freedom of expression is not at the mercy of any one political party and where freedom to choose one's beliefs remains unthreatened by an iron fist or untrammelled by a curtain, be it of iron or bamboo. That is the justification of a British University in Hongkong.\"\n\nSeated on the dais on His Excellency's right were Dr L. T. Ride (Vice-Chancellor), Mr Malcolm Macdonald (Visiting Chancellor from Malaya), Prof. S. M. Banfill (Dean of Medicine), Prof. R. K. M. Simpson (Dean of Arts), Lt-Gen Sir E. C. Robert Mansergh, the Hon. R. R. Todd, Bishop Valtorta, the Hon B. C. K. Hawkins, the Hon D. F. Landale, the Hon T. N. Chau and the Hon E. A. Boyce. On the Governor's left were the Hon Sir Arthur Morse, Prof. F. A. Redmond (Dean of Engineering), Prof. D. F. Davies (Dean of Science), Mr B. Mellor (Registrar), Bishop Follows, the Hon C.G.S. Follows, the Hon S. N. Chau, the Hon Sir Man-kam Lo and Dr the Hon I. Newton. Also on the dais were members of the Court and Senate and senior Staff members.\n\nIn the front row of the audience sat Lady Grantham, Lady Morse, Prof. Edwards, Miss Dorothy Ride, Mrs Scott, Mrs Banfill, Mrs Redmond, Mr Cassels, Mr C. J. R. Dawson, ADC, and Capt J. Baker, ADC.\n\nHis Excellency the Governor with Dr L. T. Ride, Vice-Chancellor (left) and Mr G. A. V.

It is customary on these occasions for the Vice-Chancellor to review the salient activities of the University since its Congregation last met; but nine years is a large proportion of the life of a University barely 40 years old, so I do not propose to-day to attempt to cover in detail the vicissitudes of the University during all that period. I shall confine my remarks in the main to what I consider the most outstanding and supremely important outcome of the trial of war.\n\nI believe that from this veritable test of fire this University has emerged, firmly established in its own right, as an integral, permanent and valuable, though small, part of the community of Hongkong; and I believe it has attained this status not merely through the wise deliberations of the influential citizens who serve on its governing bodies, but through the solid achievements of those trained within its walls.\n\nA university presents to its members a way of life, and we in the British Empire believe that our way of life, founded on Christian principles, has something to offer to perplexed humanity. If ever the world needed it, it needs it now, as Osbert Sitwell has said: \"Of wolf-and-buffalo politics, where to howl over your prey is to be realistic, where to bellow is to prove strength, and to whine is to show grace: the world in which we sull—but only just—survive: the world in which the sabre-toothed tiger and the ant are each paragons and the butterfly is doomed for its wings, which are uneconomical...\n\nBritish Way of Life\n\nThe University is here, not to force any particular political, religious, social, economical, or scientific beliefs on its students, but to make available to those who so choose, the advantages they may find in the British way of life and learning.\n\nWhen we start talking about standards of University degrees, we are on very debatable ground. In general, no standards are laid down; a university fixes its own, but in some of the professions there are definite standards; for example, in medicine a very rigid standard is set for the protection of the public by a statutory body known as the General Medical Council.\n\nIn engineering, there is no such legal yardstick, but each year standards are checked by the Department sending the examination papers to London University for assessment by their professors.\n\nThe Fine Arts\n\nBut in the other sciences and the arts we have no such outside help, and the departments concerned are more at the mercy of local university conditions, mainly financial.\n\nIt is only fair to the citizens of the Colony that claims for assistance in the higher education of its people should receive equal consideration by the Colonial Office with the claims from other colonies.\n\nDr Ride continued, \"We have never lacked critics. I admit here and now, without shame, that in those years just prior to the war, our final year students were of their number: I often asked myself: 'What useful purpose do we serve here in Hong Kong.' My head wagged in unison with those who doubted whether we were fulfilling any really useful purpose in this community, whether the result of our efforts was worth the outlay.\n\nAbundance of Critics\n\nIn this, as in other things, it is fortunate that we have had the guidance of our academic and administrative staff, and further, the solid achievements of those trained within our walls.\n\nThe University has therefore made application to the Colonial Office for an allocation from the sum set aside under the Colonial Development and Welfare Act 1945. Our request was placed before the Inter-University Council for Higher Education in the Colonies for their recommendations.\n\nIt is expected that these visitors will arrive in the very near future.\n\nDr Sun Yat-sen, in a speech on February 20, 1923, said, \"It is a place where students, through close association with their teachers, learn to apply the knowledge of the past to the problems of the present and future, and thus become, by the attainment of a recognised standard of general and technical education, useful citizens of their community.\"\n\nA university exists for the benefit of the community and not merely for the instruction of a few selected individuals.\n\nIn the course of his address, Dr Ride said, \"This blue-print for a University gives the architect a very wide scope, but in other words, the instruction broadens the field for the critic. The loose usage locally of the term 'student' has recently been the subject of just comment by the Director of Education.\n\nA student is one who is matriculated in, or otherwise admitted to, an institution of higher education.\n\nThe conception we in the British Empire have of a university, like many other things British, has undergone numerous changes, some gradual, some radical, through the centuries.\n\nAt an International Conference held at Utrecht in August, 1948, the \"Role of a University\" was one of the major subjects for discussion.\n\nDr Ride said, \"I would put to you that the definition by which we should judge a university should at least be extended somewhat as follows: It is a place where students, through close association with their teachers, learn to apply the knowledge of the past to the problems of the present and future, and thus become, by the attainment of a recognised standard of general and technical education, useful citizens of their community.\"\n\n(Contd. on Page 10, Col. 2)",
