        "content_text": "Pacheco and Fernandes,\n\nI knew no more of the case than I could gather from the Governor of Macao's letter. In the morning, I received an official letter from the Colonial Secretary authorizing me to detain the prisoners, and directing me to hand them over to the Harbor Master. Copies of the letters will be found in enclosures 2 and 3. I obeyed these instructions, and the prisoners were subsequently forwarded to Macao in Her Majesty's schooner Young Hebe.\n\nThey were convicted in the Macao Criminal Court, but the sentence was reverted by the Supreme Tribunal of Goa, as will be seen by enclosure 4, which contains a copy of a letter from the Governor of Macao, giving particulars. After the reversal of the sentence, they brought an action against me in the Supreme Court of Hongkong, for false imprisonment, laying the damages at twenty-five thousand Dollars.\n\nI placed the case before the Officiating Attorney General, Mr. Campbell, who employed Mr. Parker, a solicitor, to assist him in conducting the defence. Mr. Parker had performed the duty of Criminal Prosecutor during the absence of the Attorney General on two occasions. Mr. Parker then told me that Sir John Davis had acted illegally in ordering the arrest, and that the part I had taken made me responsible for the whole. Mr. Campbell was of a different opinion. Since Mr. Campbell's appointment to the office of Acting Chief Justice, Mr. Parker has had the entire conduct of the defence.\n\nThe case was brought on for hearing on the 4th May instant, and the plaintiffs were nonsuited, in consequence of the absence of witnesses, and ordered to pay the costs. The merits of the case are undecided. The costs, however, cannot be recovered, as the plaintiffs reside beyond the jurisdiction of the Court.\n\nPage 322",

(Amicizia, Italian three-mast schooner), Cardiff to Ceylon, Sept. 29, 16 S., 29 W.\n\nLEGAL.\n\nJUDICIAL COMMITTEE OF THE PRIVY COUNCIL.\n\nHART V. VON GUMPACHI.\n\nThis appeal from Her Majesty's Court for China and Japan came on for hearing, and presented some remarkable features. The appellant is a British subject, and occupies an important position in the service of the Emperor of China as inspector-general of customs.\n\nThe respondent is a naturalised British subject, and is an astronomer and mathematician. Both met in London in August, 1866, and it was alleged that Hart represented to Von Gumpach that he was entrusted with the formation of a college and observatory at Peking, which college was to be an institution for the teaching to the Chinese of Western sciences and learning, \"with a view to the regeneration of China,\" and that he was to procure a library and appoint professors.\n\nIn consequence of these alleged representations, Von Gumpach went to China, and his salary was to be £600 a year. He alleged that there was no such institution, and that he was willing to discharge the duties of his appointment.\n\nHe alleged that Hart represented to the Tsang-li Yamen, or Foreign Board, that he had absented himself, and he received an intimation from the Chinese Government that his services were no longer required; and since the 30th September, 1868, he had been unable to obtain any salary.\n\nHe brought his action against Hart in Her Majesty's Court, and claimed £3,000 as compensation besides his salary.\n\nThe cause was tried before a jury, and they gave £1,800 as damages and 176 taels for money payable to Von Gumpach.\n\nThere had been a demurrer and further litigation, and one point urged for the present appellant was that these were privileged communications from him as to the office he held under the Chinese Government.\n\nThe Court, after further litigation, decided in favour of the plaintiff (the present respondent), and the defendant (the present appellant) has obtained special leave to appeal to Her Majesty in Council.\n\nHe denied the alleged misrepresentations, and stated that the Court at Peking had found in his favour as to the representations, and gave damages to Von Gumpach for the loss of his situation, and for money due on account stated.\n\nHe appealed on several grounds—that the verdict was against evidence, on misdirection, and on the privileged communications.\n\nSir John Karslake, Q.C, with whom was Mr. F. Herschell (instructed by Messrs. Murray and Hutchins), appeared for the appellant; Mr. Benjamin, Q.C., and Mr. Myburgh (instructed by Messrs. Brooks and Co., of Doctors' Commons) were for the respondent, the plaintiff in the original action.\n\nMr. Benjamin discussed the several points. He urged that the appellant was liable to the respondent for the wrongs he had committed against him.\n\nThe Chinese Government had not adopted the acts of the appellant as their servant, and therefore it was not an Act of State.\n\nIt was idle for the appellant to say that what he did was by order of the Chinese Government, and that, therefore, he was not amenable to the laws in Her Majesty's Court for China and Japan.\n\nHe cited various authorities in support of his contentions that unless a Government adopted the acts of their servant, the servant was liable, and could not shield himself under the authority of an Act of State and justify the wrong he had committed.\n\nFurther, the learned counsel submitted that Her Majesty's Treaty with the Emperor of China gave all British subjects a right to resort to the Supreme Court for redress; and it was no answer for the appellant (the original defendant) to say what he had done was as servant of the Emperor when malice was alleged against him.\n\nThe question of privilege would not go to such an extent as to shield a man from false representations, and none of the cases cited would support the points raised by the other side.\n\nMr. Myburgh followed on the same side.\n\nSir John, in reply, cited several cases in support of the view he had submitted—namely, that the original action could not be maintained, and that the demurrer ought to have been allowed.\n\nIt was not an action between two British subjects, as was contemplated by the Treaty, but an action against a Minister of China for an act done as such Minister.\n\nBoth parties had been in the service of the Emperor, and the reports made by Mr. Hart were privileged communications, and it was not by merely alleging malice that the protection extended to such documents was to be removed.\n\nThe matter was of importance, and he asked their Lordships to allow the appeal.\n\nSir Montagu Smith, on the conclusion of the arguments, announced that their Lordships would take time to consider their judgment.\n\nCOURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH.\n\nIONIDES V. PENDER.\n\nThis was a case (tried last term) of some mercantile importance as to marine insurance, especially with reference to over-insurance.\n\nIt was an action on several policies of insurance, on goods, on profits, on charterparty, and of commission, amounting altogether to some thousands of pounds.\n\nThe defence set up was that there had been enormous over-insurance, and that the ship was not lost by perils of the seas, but had in reality been scuttled.\n\nThe policies were affected by a firm at Hamburg, who had chartered and loaded the ship for a commercial adventure to a port La Sineria.\n\nOn the voyage the vessel sprang a leak, and is making four inches water per hour in still water.\n\nCASUALTIES.—The Carolina (Spanish barque), from Manila to Cadiz, with tobacco, went a bore on Sandalwood Island. Sept. 15, but got off without damage, after remaining on the reef seven days.\n\nThe Hebe (ship, of Rotterdam. Meermans, from Batavia, to Rotterdam, put into Mauritius, Oct. 5, leaky, having encountered a very heavy N.E. to N.W., and S. W. gale Sept. 21st, in lat. 12 S., lon. 93 E., during which\n\nTHE LONDON AND CHINA TELEGRAPH.\n\n811\n\nNov. 18, 1872.\n\nMISCELLANEOUS.\n\nEXTRACTS FROM MEDHURST'S \"FOREIGNER IN FAR CATHAY.\"\n\nAfter what I wrote in my last letter of the negotiations between the commissioners of the two legislative bodies of this city having been broken off because they could not come to an agreement on the vexed question of the Bank Valuta, your readers will no doubt be greatly surprised to hear that, after all, the affair has been finally set at rest and disposed of by a compromise, both sides having given way to a certain extent.\n\nThe draft of the Bill sent by the Senate to the Burgerschaft, but rejected by them, served as a sufficient basis for a rapprochement, and as both parties were agreed in principle, and only differed on certain, though important, points, the door was again opened for discussion.\n\nAn abstract of the amended Bill as agreed to is as follows :--\n\nLaw for the Alteration of the Hamburg Bank Valuta.\n\nArt. 1. Closing of the Accounts based on Silver Bars.—The date is fixed for the 15th Feb., 1879, the Burgerschaft originally wishing it to take place within eight days, and the Senate inclined to keep them open for six months longer.\n\nAfter the above date the balances of accounts can only be repaid in silver bars.\n\nArt. 3. Denomination of Payments in the New Currency made through the Bank.—In all agreements and contracts where payment is stipulated to be made through the Bank, it is required to write after the amount the letters B.Z., which stands for Bank Zahlung, or Bank payment.\n\nI have dwelt thus much upon the characteristics of the servants employed by foreigners, not only to show how they fare in this particular, but because these servants are the only natives with whom the foreign merchant comes more immediately into contact.\n\nThe opinion prevalent at home that foreigners mingle in Chinese society generally is altogether a mistaken one.\n\nThe conventional rules of the Chinese are so constituted, and their habits of thought and customs so peculiar, that there is little or no encouragement to court acquaintance on either part, even were the entire ignorance of each other's language not to present a serious bar in the way of an interchange of ideas.\n\nThere is a class of Chinese brokers and middle men who haunt the offices of the merchants, but they are mostly shrewd, clever upstarts, whom the difficulties of interlingual communication have introduced into the trade, and, with rare exceptions, they lay no claim to respectability even with the Chinese themselves.\n\nThe language employed between these brokers and the merchants is a jargon made up of English, Portuguese, Chinese, and Malay words, tortured into unrecognizable shapes and constructions, and it is little fitted to sustain any conversation beyond what appertains to the mere technicalities of trade.\n\nI have frequently expressed to our merchants the opinion that it is a pity they do not take the trouble to learn the Chinese language.\n\nIt is an acquirement in the spoken form to an extent sufficient for all practical purposes; offers no difficulties that an average intellect and a moderate share of determination cannot surmount, and familiarity with it would have the effect of freeing the foreigner from the domination of roguish brokers and compradores, at whose mercy he now lies, whilst it would open the way to a more extended acquaintance and friendly intercourse to the mutual advantage of both parties.\n\nThere is perhaps no country in the world frequented by the English-speaking race in which merchants are so lamentably ignorant of the customs and resources of the locality in which they live as they are at this moment in China, and this is entirely to be attributed to a want of familiarity with the language.\n\nTHE SUEZ CANAL.\n\nThe Suez Canal Company will continue to insist upon its recent advance of tolls, and declares that it will appeal to the decision of the Government.\n\nThe Ottoman Porte has protested, by order of the Sultan, against the competency of the Tribunal de Commerce de la Seine to interpret the Act of Concession of the Canal—a power which belongs to itself alone.\n\nThe Turkish Government also maintains that, the company being an Egyptian association, subject to the Ottoman jurisdiction, and having its headquarters at Alexandria, cannot admit a foreign jurisdiction in respect to its differences with third parties.\n\nThere is some idea of inviting the Marine Powers to hold a conference at Constantinople, in order to agree upon a uniform system for the measurement of tonnage.\n\nForeign Intelligence.\n\nGERMANY.\n\n(FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.)\n\nHAMBURG, Nov. 12.\n\nArt. 4. Belehnungen (or advances on deposits).—After the close of the silver accounts the Bank is authorised to receive as deposits the foreign coin hitherto accepted, as well as gold and silver bars, and credit the depositors for the amount in the new currency, according to the regulations drawn up by the administrators of the Bank and having been approved of by the Senate.\n\nArt. 5. Deferred fulfilment of obligations to pay in Banco.—After the closing of the silver accounts, all still outstanding engagements in Hamburg banco or in species banco, whatever may be the period of their origin and the nature of the claim, must be settled by Bank payment in Imperial gold coin, or in double or single silver thalers of German mintage, at the fixed rate of 150 marks new currency for 100 marks banco, with an agio of 18 per mille for species banco.\n\nBills of exchange falling due on the 15th of February, but not presented for payment till after that date, are to be calculated at the officially quoted price of silver on the day of their maturity.\n\nArt. 6. Transitory Regulations.—During the period of transition, viz., from the date of the opening of the accounts in the new Imperial currency till the 15th of May, 1873, creditors of the Bank may have the amount of their balance in Banco transferred, partly or entirely, to their account in the new currency at the fixed rate of 145 marks Imperial currency for 100 marks Banco, as such transfers are to be considered as Belehnungen, or advances on deposits.\n\nThe sum thus transferred may, at any time during the period of transition, be re-transferred to the silver account of the owner; but all such re-transfers must be made before the expiration of the period of transition, in default of which the Bank is authorised to realise the silver for account of the proprietor.\n\nDuring the period of transition only those who have paid in gold coin or silver thalers are at liberty to withdraw their balances in the same money.\n\nDuring the period of transition no charge will be made by the Bank on Imperial gold coin or silver thalers paid in or taken out.\n\nThe publication of this new law will take place in the course of this week, and the date to be fixed for the opening of the accounts in the new Imperial German currency is expected to be the 15th inst.\n\nBut this arrangement has no effect on cash payments made in Hamburg and Lubeck currency, which retain their value as hitherto, till a sufficiency of the new money is coined, which, as the minting operations proceed but slowly, may be deferred for two or three years longer.\n\nIt will be seen by the above that the Bergerschaft have abandoned one of the principal points on which they were at issue with the Senate, and that is that the loss sustained by the conversion of Banco into new currency, the agio on silver being at present rather more than one per cent. above par, should be borne by the State.\n\nAs it now stands everyone who has Banco will only get 150 marks new currency for every 100 marks Banco, and must bear the loss himself.\n\nThe sharp and somewhat bitter remarks made by certain organs of the press in England respecting the award of the Emperor of Germany in his capacity of Arbitrator in the Anglo-American dispute about the San Juan question have found a responsive echo at Berlin; and if these counter remarks have not been translated and reprinted in the English papers, it is perhaps owing to the editors remaining reticent, not to aggravate and increase the ill-feeling between the two countries.\n\nOne of your contemporaries says that the award is remarkable for being written in the German language, instead of the customary diplomatic French\" to which the Germans reply that this is an exploded idea, quite out of date; that the despatches of the German Government—railway companies have received instructions to discontinue, from December 1, the eddies hitherto praised to emigrants, of a reduction in the fares—amounting in some instances to 50 per cent.—and double allowance of luggage (100 lb. per head).\n\nThe number of emigrants that passed through this city to the end of October, 1871, is officially stated to be 37,324 persons, whilst at the same period this year it has risen to 65,151, and before the end of the year will no doubt have reached 80,000.\n\nDr. Hilgendorf, a native of this city, and formerly director of the Hamburg Zoological Gardens, and now professor at the Royal Polytechnic at Dresden, has received a call to go to Japan to prepare young natives for their subsequent studies of medicine at German universities.\n\nA considerable number of Japanese are now studying at Berlin, Leipzig, and Heidelberg.",

Hebb, Control Department, for payment of the Military Contribution for March Quarter of 1875. No note was taken of this application, Mr. Smith recording on it that notice of it could not be taken, as it had not come through the Assistant Military Secretary.\n\nOn the 23rd April, Captain Molony, Assistant Commissary General, wrote privately to Mr. Smith to point out that all transactions about raising and issuing money were Treasury questions and not Military Office questions, and that consequently the Military Secretary had nothing whatever to do with them, and on the 27th April Captain Molony wrote officially to the Acting Colonial Secretary renewing the application for payment of the Military Contribution for the March Quarter.\n\nMeanwhile, however, on the 26th April, Mr. Smith had written privately to the Assistant Military Secretary, and had asked him whether the Major General's memo was intended to apply even to purely Financial Matters, as hitherto in all matters in which the Controller was acting as the authorized Agent of the Treasury,\n\nPage 60\n\nPage 61",

In the third paragraph it is stated that of existing types of life guard the “trigger” pattern is preferred.\n\nThe type of life guard in use on the cars of this Company is the “stationary net”.\n\nThere are several important tramway systems in Great Britain on which the trigger type of life guard has not been adopted.\n\n-122sq Cases are known in which the trigger type of life guard has failed to perform its function, and I submit that the adoption of this type of guard in Hongkong would not enable the public to enjoy greater immunity from accident, through failure of the life guard, that exists at present.\n\nBrochure No. IV.

With regard to the rebate allowed to the Military and Naval Authorities, I am afraid that the dealers have taken advantage of their old stock and broken down liquor on which no duty has been paid to claim for rebate on such. To guard against possible abuse I would suggest that all wine and liquors for the Military and Naval Authorities should be declared to and passed through the Imports and Exports Office. All requisitions to be signed by the seller and duly endorsed by the Authority concerned certifying that the liquor applied for is duly for such and such canteen or mess. A special receipt to be drawn up which would be returned to the Imports and Exports Office as proof that the liquors were received by a certain canteen. This can be arranged with the Military Authorities. (Note:- Mr. Percebois's phrase \"passed duty free for each canteen\" means \"passed to a Military Canteen\". Duty is paid on all such liquor and an \"allowance\" is made to the Military Authorities by the Colonial Government. See Ordinance No. 30 1909)\n\nPage 570  \nPage 571",

Article 7, it is true says that\n\nare the Powers who are not able to prohibit.\n\nshall do so.\n\nAt Hong Kong it is possible; but that\n\nsaving clause was meant for Portugal.

        "content_text": "# \n## KOWLOON'S NEEDS \n## Mr. Braga Suggests Work On Roads \n## TERRITORY GARDENS \n\nThe Hon. Mr. J. P. Braga said:- Your Excellency, I propose to direct my remarks on a few subjects more as a matter of policy than in criticism of the Budget proposals. We are passing through admittedly depressed times calling for sympathy and co-operative efforts in an earnest endeavour to provide a solution to real difficulties. I cannot recall past programmes of Public Works Extraordinary of major importance appearing without a single item, as is the case for 1937. The only item of consequence is scheduled under \"Loan Works\" for the commencement of a new Central Market. This being the case, attention is necessarily drawn to the question of the general staff of the Public Works Department. It may appear anomalous, however, that, without any large-scale public works, the Budget should be burdened with architects' salaries alone amounting to $157,209 in 1937.\n\nWhile inviting your Excellency's attention to what strikes more or less an unsatisfactory position, I would like to offer a suggestion. The eleven architects are technical officers with acquired experience who are not easily replaceable, and for that reason full advantage should be taken of their available professional services at the present time in making preparations and plans for the future construction of major public works when funds become eventually available, such as the Post Office and Government offices in Kowloon. Both these are referred to in the report of the Director of Public Works for 1935. An important extension of the Kowloon Hospital, viz., the maternity wards for Chinese patients, should not be further delayed.\n\nI am making no reflection on the holder of the office designated as \"Inspector of Furniture\" on p. 97 of the draft Estimates; but, it seems open to question if it is really necessary that an officer such as described should be paid a sterling salary equivalent to $8,560 next year. If in the discharge of his duties no special technical qualifications are called for, then in the interest of economy the present post is one that should be transferred to the dollar grade as soon as possible.\n\n## Roads Maintenance \n\nI still regard the Roads Maintenance Vote as wholly insufficient. To neglect roads so that they fall into a state of such serious disrepair as can be pointed out in Kowloon and the New Territories during the current year, is a policy that works out much more expensively in the long run. On this subject I would like to state that the Kowloon Residents' Association has requested me publicly to bring this question to the notice of your Excellency and this Council.\n\nI would like to go even further and state that Government should immediately take in hand what I might describe as essential road works. In this connection, I would urge the completion of the road from Argyle Street to Tam Kung Road. It only requires the widening and surfacing of the path from the approach road to the new Central British School to the Riding School—a length of about 300 or 400 yards to provide the logical connection by road between Kowloon Tong, Mongkok, Kowloon Hospital, etc., on the one hand, and Hunghom and Tokwawan on the other. Does it not appear strange that the Kowloon Hospital cannot be reached from anywhere at Tokwawan by car without having to travel the circuitous road round to Kowloon City?\n\nAnother path which should be similarly treated is the one running parallel with the railway between Waterloo Road and King's Park, thereby providing a through motor road from Waterloo Road to Gascoigne Road, and considerably shortening the distance from Kowloon Tong and Homuntin to King's Park and Chatham Road.\n\nI submit that the cost of these two very necessary improvements would be inconsiderable and would be fully justified. The saving in time which would be effected and from the Star Ferry wharf would be of great benefit.\n\nGovernment is to be commended for having widened the junction of Waterloo Road and Argyle Street. This used to be a danger spot for traffic, but where Waterloo Road should be at its widest (viz., at its junction with Nathan Road) it is actually at its narrowest. The dangerous bend at this point should be eliminated and thus make more room for the daily growing traffic flowing into Nathan Road.\n\nThese are outstanding road works not involving a great deal of money calling for immediate attention in Kowloon. I shall now deal with road requirements in the New Territories.\n\nThanks, I feel, are due for the construction of a new motor road through splendidly wooded country full of wild bird life from upper Shatin Road leading to the Shing Mun Valley.\n\n## Tsun Wan's Growth \n\nWith the completion of Tsun Wan Market, this district is gradually assuming the air of a growing township. The motor highway in the vicinity of the village is now much too narrow for the daily increasing traffic, and when it is remembered that the open ground by the roadside is utilised by the enterprising owners of the pineapple plantations as an open market for retailing the luscious fruit with the harvesting of the midsummer crop, the roads office of the P.W.D. might usefully consider the provision of a very necessary road improvement in this district. In particular, I trust Government will immediately widen the dangerous bend in the road just before Tsun Wan is reached.\n\nAgain, there are still several sharp hairpin bends near the Kowloon Reservoir which are a positive danger to traffic. The Roads Engineer probably finds his limitations in the indispensable provision of funds. The restriction need not be carried to the point of continuing a condition that is considered unsafe for speedy wheeled traffic. The bridge at the Reservoir and another in Shatin Valley at Tai Wa village just before reaching the railroad tracks, both require to be replaced. They are too narrow for two cars to pass abreast and, furthermore, were not designed, I am sure, to take the heavy loads now carried over them daily. Shatin village road is also capable of widening. The motorist, especially in view of the higher taxation on petrol and motor car licences, has a right to expect that these matters should receive prompt attention.\n\nWithout great expense also certain parts of the Castle Peak and Taipo Roads could be widened to give more room for pedestrians and people carrying bulky loads where they might be clear of motor traffic. Trees at present along the road need not be removed, but could mark the boundary for motor traffic, and behind the trees an extra stretch could be added to the road for use by pedestrians only.\n\n## Typhoon Damage \n\nIn speaking of trees, I feel that attention need only be drawn for the Botanical and Forestry Department to see that those up-rooted by the recent typhoon on the roads in the New Territories as well as in Kowloon will soon be replaced. Some information might be usefully given on the question of the water supply to the Castle Peak district. Beyond the bare official statement that a small supply scheme was investigated in the Colony last year, some indication of the intention of the Government regarding the prosecution of this scheme should be forthcoming.\n\nFor the benefit of many residents in various parts of the Peninsula I should like to urge, for the serious consideration of the Medical and Sanitary Department, that market gardens situated in the immediate vicinity of residential places should be completely done away with. Complaints are constantly made that the gardeners are in the habit of freely using nightsoil as a fertiliser, and no number of warnings deters them from carrying on the serious nuisance, which is a menace to public health.\n\nMuch can be said regarding the unsatisfactory condition of the Homuntin Cemetery. It is a seriously debatable question whether the shutting down of this cemetery for more burials and its transfer out of a central residential area has not now become imperative.\n\nAt any rate, the matter is one that should be looked into by the President of the Urban Council.\n\nThe health of the community should also be catered to by allocating more open spaces and playgrounds, especially in congested areas. This is notoriously lacking in the Homuntin district. Children in this locality can be seen in large numbers daily making use of the public roadways for games.\n\n## Bathing and Broadcasting \n\nIt has been truthfully said that we have the sea on almost every side of us and yet the majority of the citizens of this Colony are denied the amenities of its bathing beaches. It is the duty of the Government to make ample provision at least for the better health of its people, and a special point should be made to provide more public bathing beaches, especially on the Peninsula, with proper facilities for dressing, which should be made easily accessible to the residents of the Colony next summer. The minority class of the well-to-do can afford their well-appointed glorified pavilions and shacks. What about the majority of the middle class who are as little provided with an abundance of money and as badly off for a lot of time after office hours to indulge in this most popular form of healthful and beneficial recreation? Government may take a timely hint in earmarking definite large beach areas in Hebe Haven with the completion of the Customs Pass Road extension.\n\nPage 70  \nPage 71",

This road will before long make accessible to the motorists of the Colony a very beautiful part of the New Territories, including Hebe Haven and Clear Water Bay; so that it cannot be said that they will get nothing for their increased contribution to the revenue.\n\nTo meet the deficit, it is therefore proposed to draw upon our surplus balances, which will, it is anticipated, be thus reduced by the end of 1937 to approximately $8,000,000.\n\nIt is considered that, if ever, this policy is justified at the present time. Hong Kong is still feeling the effects of the serious depression of the last few years. One may feel that, with the stabilization of our currency, the increase, in some cases considerable, of our export trade in local manufactures, and the growing prospect of peace and prosperity among our neighbours in China, the stage is set for recovery; but until the curtain has gone up, the less added to the burden of industry the better.\n\nMoreover, 1937 will be in some ways a turning point. Early next year, three of our major public works—the Jubilee dam, the new prison, and the Queen Mary Hospital—will be finished. It will be necessary to decide then what standard of maintenance and what rate of progress should be set for the future. The problem of reducing the cost of personnel by reducing the scale of salaries for new appointees and by substituting local for European staff is under constant attention, and experiments in both directions are already being made.\n\nI shall now, with your permission, offer a few brief comments on some of the more important points connected with",
