The task is to proofread this text, correcting spelling errors, fixing spacing issues, rejoining broken sentences, and restoring paragraph breaks, all while preserving the original content and format as much as possible.\n\n## Step 2\nFirst, we need to identify and correct spelling errors. For example, \"Wongkong\" should be \"Hongkong\", \"sh. 1000j€rawa\" should be \"sh. 1000\", and \"Brit. bk 670 Dod\" should be \"Brit. bk 670 Dod\" (no change needed here, but \"Brit.\" is an abbreviation for \"British\" which is correct). \"Dut. 764 ric\" should be \"Dut. 764\", and \"Earl of Windeer\" should be \"Earl of Windsor\".\n\n## Step 3\nNext, we need to fix spacing issues. For instance, \"XCR (85)72\" should be \"XCR(85)72\", and \"GR 1178/1922/32 (III)\" should be \"GR1178/1922/32(III)\".\n\n## Step 4\nWe also need to rejoin broken sentences. The text contains many lines that are split due to OCR layout errors. For example, sentences that are broken across lines without a logical reason should be merged.\n\n## Step 5\nRestoring paragraph breaks is another crucial step. The OCR output may have incorrectly merged or split paragraphs. We need to format the text into proper paragraphs based on the content and logical breaks.\n\n## Step 6\nIndicate missing words with \"...\" if a word is clearly missing due to OCR damage.\n\n## Step 7\nThe text should be formatted in standard Markdown. This includes using headers (#, ##, ###), sub-headers, bold-type (**bold**), and tables using Markdown table syntax.\n\n## Step 8\nSince the text is a mix of different documents, including newspaper articles and court transcripts, we need to be careful not to rephrase or rewrite the content. The task is to correct errors and improve formatting without changing the style, tone, or word choice.\n\n## Step 9\nNo translation of text is required, and file references should not have any spacing inside parentheses.\n\n## Step 10\nPage numbering lines, if detected (usually six lines in total, three at the page beginning and three at the end), should be kept as they are, as they were originally used during scanning to delineate page metadata.\n\n## Step 11\nThe output should be in HTML using  for paragraphs and \n only if absolutely necessary.\n\nThe final answer is: \n\n324\n\n25\n\n[NO. 6.

From it, the North-west point of Plat Island bears S. 62 W., three quarters of a mile. East extremity of Oeste Rock S. 14° E., 14 mile. Apex of Bluff Rock S. 50° E., 2 miles, and Apex of Dome Island N. 65° E., 2 miles.\n\nMr. Boxer, Master in Command of H.M.S. Hesper, reported another Rock in this Channel a little to the Eastward of the Mackinnon Rock. This danger was searched for in the Drake without success, and the fishermen most positively asserted that no other Rock than the Mackinnon exists in the Channel. We are therefore of opinion, that Mr. Boxer must have seen the Mackinnon Rock, the difference in position may be ascribed to the fact of the Hesper being an iron vessel, and, in consequence, the bearings taken from the Compasses cannot be implicitly relied on.\n\nTo avoid this danger, vessels entering the Channel from the Westward, should not bring Plat Island to the Westward of S.W. by S., whilst Dome Island is Northward of an E. by N. bearing; when Oeste Rock bears S. by W., they are to the Eastward of the Mackinnon Rock, and can haul to the Southward.\n\nEntering the Channel from the Eastward, after passing Dome Island steer to the Northward until it bears E. by N., keeping it on that bearing until Plat Island bears S.W. by S.\n\nNo. 116.\n\nGOVERNMENT NOTIFICATION.\n\nT.

Assuming East Lamock Island to be correctly laid down; from its South-east point the North Rock bears N. 38° E. instead of N. 22° E., and the Island between North Rock and East Lamock Island bears from the South-east point of East Lamock Island N. 29° E. instead of N, 15° E., as shewn on the Chart, (see Admiralty Chart, Namoa Island, No. 1957.)\n\nThe distances shewn on the Chart are correct. The South-east extremity of East Lamock Island is in line with the South-east extremity of North Kock on the bearing S. 42° W. iustead of S. 25o W.\n\nFrom the North-east point of North Rock the observed true bearing of Dome Island was found to be N. 67° 50′ W., agreeing with the Chart.\n\nTIMES ROCK situated to the North-eastward of the Lamock Islands, originally reported by Mr. Anderson of the schooner Times, (vide China Pilot, p. 104,) and on which several vessels have recently struck, is a dangerous coral pinnacle with only 9 feet over it at low water. From it the North Rock of Lamock Islands bears S. 37° W., distant a little over a mile; and Dome Island N. 73° 30′ W., distant 12 miles.\n\nWhen on the Rock the East bluff of East Lamock Island is just scen open Westward of the Western apex of North Rock, the extremes of the Islands subtending an angle of 13° 11'.\n\nThe High Lamock, opens North-westward of East Lamock clears the Rock to the North-westward; and opens South-eastward of it, clears the Rock to the South-eastward.\n\nTo avoid this danger, the angle subtended by the Lamock Islands should not be greater than 10°, when the High Lamook is shut in.\n\nThe Times, and other vessels placed this Rock farther from the Islands, but on nearly the same bearing as given above. The distance, which with them must have been mere guess work, was carefully measured from H. M. gun-boat Drake, whilst at anchor on the Rock. Its position as marked on the Admiralty Chart, from the authority of Mr. Anderson, was sounded over, but no danger could be discovered, and the fishermen, who were offered a reward to point out any other Rocks, assert that none other exist in that vicinity.\n\nNo. 117.\n\nGOVERNMENT NOTIFICATION.\n\nIt is hereby notified that His Excellency the GOVERNOR has appointed N.

        "content_text": "# OCR Proofread Text\n\nnannten Broderick Kwok-a-Sung einen chinesischen Kuli freigesprochen zu haben von der Anklage des Totschlags und der Meuterei gegen den Capitain eines antischiffee. Es wurde angenommen, daß unter den obwaltenden Umständen gewaltsame Befreiungsversuche auf hoher See nur als berechtigte Notwehr angesehen werden konnten.\n\nUnd wie oft werden derartige Versuche unternommen! Unterliegen die empörten Kulis der meist trefflich bewaffneten Schiffsmannschaft, so ist das Schicksal der Ueberlebenden um so schrecklicher. Behalten die Kulis die Oberhand, so schonen sie nur das Leben derer, welche erforderlich sind, das Schiff in den nächsten chinesischen Hafen zurückzusteuern.\n\n\"Eine etwas veränderte Gestalt zeigt der Menschenhandel in der Südsee. Dort fehlen mancherlei Rücksichten, die an den Küsten Chinas genommen werden müssen. Rober und gewaltsamer vermag der Menschenfänger der Südsee zu verfahren. Auf dem unermeßlichen Seegebiet Ozeaniens (Australien) ist eine Ueberwachung so gut wie unmöglich. Tiefer ist der Bildungsstand der zum staatlichen Leben noch nicht vorgeschrittenen Insulaner. Die hauptsächlichsten Absatzpunkte für den \"schwarzen Vogeljang\" sind die nördlichste der englischen Austral-Colonien, Queensland, die französischen Besitzungen von Neu-Caledonien und die Fidschi-Inseln, auf denen sich neben der eingeborenen Bevölkerung in den letzten Jahren zahlreiche Engländer und Franzosen niederließen, um unter König Katobana's constitutioneller Regierung ihre Geldbeutel möglichst schnell zu füllen. Was zur Abstellung der scheußlichsten Verbrechen des Menschenfangs bisher von der englischen Colonialregierung oder von der Marine unternommen wurde, hat sich als eitle Spiegelfechterei erwiesen.\n\nDas Verfahren, das beim Einfangen der polynesischen Kulis beobachtet wird, ist in der Regel dieses: Sobald in der Nähe der Insel ein fremdes Schiff vor Anker geht, finden sich die Eingeborenen auf ihren Booten ein, um Tauschhandel zu treiben. Ist dies geschehen, so werden durch allerlei Veranstaltungen die Eingeborenen entweder auf das Verdeck gelockt, wozu man als Lockvögel einige Farbige mit sich führt, und alsdann eingefangen. Oder die Boote der Eingeborenen werden von der Schiffsbesatzung mittelst sorgfältig vorbereiteter Veranstaltung zum Umschlagen gebracht. Die alsdann Ertrinkenden werden durch Schrotflinten leicht verwundet oder mit Schlingen so lange gewürgt, auch mit Beulenschlägen betäubt, bis man sie an Bord gebracht hat. Einzelne Menschenfänger verkleiden sich als Missionare, verteilen wertlose Kleinigkeiten, stimmen fromme Gesänge an und täuschen dadurch die arglosen Insulaner. Ist die Ladung ausreichend, so werden die Eingefangenen durch Zwangsmittel aller Art belehrt, mittelst Aufhebung mehrerer Finger und Hersagens einer entsprechenden Ziffer, beispielsweise \"drei\" oder \"vier\", die Anzahl von Jahren auszudrücken, für welche sie sich freiwillig verdungen haben. Sobald alsdann der revidirende Consul in einem englischen Hafen die Eingefangenen mustert und besichtigt, verfahren diese \"vorschriftsmäßig nach der ihnen gewordenen Dressur\": Alles wird amtlich in Ordnung befunden und das Geschäft ist besorgt. Es ist unvermeidlich, daß auch in der Südsee von den Eingefangenen Befreiungsversuche mit meist unglücklichem und blutigem Ausgange unternommen werden.\n\nDen besten Aufschluß über den Hergang der Sache bietet die Geschichte des Piratenschiffes \"Star\" und der Strafproceß, welcher im Herbste 1872 theils in Sydney, theils in Melbourne gegen die Schuldigen verhandelt wurde. Zwei der Betheiligten, darunter der Capitain Armstrong, wurden in Sydney zum Tode verurtheilt; der Hauptschuldige, der Eigenthümer des Schiffes, ein Doctor der Medicin, blieb unverfolgt, nachdem er sich in seiner Eigenschaft als Denunciant die Straflosigkeit als \"Königszzeuge\" durch einen englischen Consul hatte versprechen lassen. Dr. James Patrick Murray, so hieß der Nichtswürdige, segelte im Juni 1871 mit dem \"Carl\" nach Levuka auf den Fidschi-Inseln, wechselte dort aus Vorsicht die Schiffsbesatzung und begab sich auf zwei Unternehmungen oder Geschäftsreisen. Auf einer dieser Reisen brach unter den geraubten Insulanern ein Aufstand aus. Sie bemächtigten sich einiger Bündel von Schiffsplanken, gingen ihren Peinigern zu Leibe, wurden aber durch den Gebrauch der Schußwaffen in ihren Käfig unter Deck zurückgetrieben und hier eingenagelt. Nicht nur die zahlreichen Todten wurden den Wellen preisgegeben, sondern auch sechzehn Schwerverwundete, an Händen und Füßen gefesselt, über Bord geworfen und gleich neugeborenen Katzen ertränkt.\n\nWährend die bereits Ueberwundenen eingespert waren, ließ Dr. Murray durch den Schiffszimmermann ein zollgroßes Loch durch die Planken bohren. In aller Bequemlichkeit und ungefehen feuerte er durch diese Oeffnung seine Revolverkanonen unter den in der Dunkelheit zusammengeballten Menschenhaufen. Fünfunddreißig Todte wurden später über Bord geworfen. Die Ueberlebenden, bei ihrer Ankunft im Ausschiffungshafen gemustert, erklärten in üblicher Weise auf drei Jahre contractlich gemiethet zu sein, und wurden durch die inspicirenden Behörden sämmtlich in gehöriger Ordnung befunden. Dr. Murray behielt seinen Geschäftsgewinn. Ein Mitglied der gesetzgebenden Versammlung von Adelaide in Südaustralien, Herr Blackmore, berichtete in englischen Journalen über diesen Fall mit dem Bemerken, daß alle erdenklichen Maßregeln der Aufsicht vergeblich sein würden und daß es nur ein einziges wirksames Mittel gebe: völliges, absolutes Verbot der Menschenzufuhr. Vergleicht man Murray's That mit derjenigen der fürchterlichsten Verbrecher, so wird man sagen dürfen, daß ... Morsthat, durch welche ganz Europa erschüttert wurde, doch ein Kinderspiel gewesen gegenüber der teuflischen Bosheit, welche aus sicheren Hinterhalt durch ein Loch zum Vergnügen in wehrlose Menschenhaufen hineinfeuert und Schwerverwundete hinterher in die See werfen läßt. Daß die aufgebrachten Südseeinsulaner von Zeit zu Zeit an irgend einem beliebigen Weißen einen Vict der Blutrache vollziehen, ist nicht zu verwundern. Bischof Patterson fiel in seiner Missionarsthätigkeit als eines der Opfer für die Schandthaten Anderer. Dieser ausgezeichnete Geistliche bemerkte übrigens aus Anlaß des Menschenfanges, es sei empörend sowohl als lächerlich, von \"Arbeitscontracten\" zu sprechen; keiner der Südseeinsulaner sei im Stande, den Begriff des Contractes zu verstehen.\n\nWar der alte Sclavenhandel an den afrikanischen Küsten im Vergleich zu diesen Unternehmungen nicht ein ehrliches Gewerbe? Ich meine, ja! Damals kaufte der Sclavenhändler von einem siegreichen Negerhäuptling die Kriegsgefangenen, die er nach barbarischer Sitte einfach hätte abschlachten können. Dem afrikanischen Sclaven ward durch Ankauf das Leben gerettet. Der asiatische Kulihandel ist nicht bloß Gewaltthat, sondern mehr als barbarisch. Es ist jener schnöde, die Formen des Rechts äußerlich nachahmende, aber die Gerechtigkeit schändende Hohn auf die Menschheit, den man zu den schwersten Sünden gegen den heiligen Geist zu zählen hat.\n\nDen Negerhandel nach Amerika haben die Staatsverträge unterdrückt. Eben jetzt versucht man, den Negerhandel nach ... von der afrikanischen Ostküste abzuschneiden. Und den Kulihandel sollte das neunzehnte Jahrhundert nicht als eine Schmach empfinden? Ihr Kirchenfreunde, sendet Missionen unter halbwilde Völker, um sie mit der christlichen Dogmatik und dem Katechismus bekannt zu machen. Aber Ihr schweigt dazu, wenn christliche Regierungen durch ihre Bildung jene Verbrechen ermuthigen, ohne welche der Kulihandel nicht denkbar ist. Sendet vor allem Andern die Boten der christlichen Liebe in die Hauptstadt von Portugal und unter die Pflanzer von Cuba, nach Lima oder Demerara! Ihr Friedenscongresse haltet, um den Krieg zu brandmarken, der für die heiligsten Interessen einer Nation geführt wird, obwohl er die Culturvölker doch immer nur als schnell vorübergehende Geißel bedroht. Bedenkt doch, daß Ihr erst die Wurzeln ausrotten müßt, aus denen der Kulihandel hervorgeht, ehe Ihr von den Anrechten der Menschheit auf friedliche Gesittung sprechen dürft. Ihr rühmt Euch der nach Asien mächtig fortschreitenden europäischen Cultur. Bedenkt, daß Ihr in den Augen der Chinesen nicht viel mehr geltet, denn als Opiumhändler und Menschenräuber. Ihr Freihändler laßt den Russen die Ehre, China die Sclaverei abzuschaffen, und bemüht Euch darzuthun, daß die Nothwendigkeit, für Eure Felder Guano herbeizuschaffen oder aus Australien und Westindien Zucker zu importiren, die Sclaverei der Kulis erfordert! Werdet Ihr vielleicht auch beweisen, daß die volkswirthschaftlich ungehinderte Bewegung des Seehandels jede Einmischung in das Transportgeschäft der Kulischiffe verbietet und daß die Ueberführung der Kulis durch den stillen Ocean nichts anderes ist, als eine Art der Freizügigkeit zwischen Asien und Amerika?\n\nDie englische Regierung war bisher die einzige, welche, die Wucht schwerer Anschuldigungen fühlend, einige schwächliche, völlig unzureichende Versuche machte, dem Unwesen des Kulihandels zu steuern. Aber selbst wenn sie thatkräftiger einschreiten wollte, als je unter dem Banne colonialer Interessen thun wird, immer wäre sie außer Stande, allein ohne Uebereinstimmung mit den übrigen Mächten zum Ziele zu gelangen.\n\nDie beiden Großstaaten, welche wirthschaftlich am Kulihandel am wenigsten interessirt sind, Deutschland und die nordamerikanische Union, haben die nächste Aufgabe, für die Rechte der Menschheit mit ihrem Einfluß einzutreten. Wir haben keine Colonie zu versorgen, keine Pflanzer zu schonen, keinen Widerspruch aus unserer Mitte zu befürchten. Freilich müssen wir mit Beschämung eingestehen, daß auch die deutsche Handelsflagge mit dem Makel der Betheiligung an dem schimpflichen Gewerbe behaftet ist. Um so größer ist unsere Verpflichtung, uns von jeder Mitschuld zu reinigen. So ist die höchste Zeit, daß durch völkerrechtliche Verträge der betrügerischen Ausbeutung ostasiatischer Auswanderung ein Ziel gesetzt, daß insbesondere den Portugiesen in Macao das Handwerk gelegt werde. Tritt Deutschland thatkräftig für diese edle Sache ein und begegnet es ernsthaftem Widerspruche bei anderen Mächten, — wohl, so hat es die Beruhigung, daß es sein Gewissen bewahrt hat, während andere Staaten sich selbst an den Pranger der Weltgeschichte stellen. Ich bin meinerseits nicht befähigt, zu entscheiden, ob durch Völkerverträge die Auswanderung der Kulis mit hinreichend schützenden Formen umgeben werden kann oder gänzlich zu unterdrücken ist. Aber das weiß ich, daß das jetzige System der Ueberfahrts- und Arbeitsverträge nicht länger geduldet werden darf, wenn irgend eine Gemeinschaft christlicher Culturvölker fortbestehen soll. Auf die Zustimmung der Vereinigten Staaten zu einem gemeinschaftlichen Vorgehen ist um so mehr zu hoffen, als diese durch völlig freie und naturgemäße Einwanderung der Chinesen die ihr fehlenden Arbeitskräfte auf das Leichteste ersetzen können. Ebensowenig bezweifle ich die Mitwirkung der italienischen, österreichischen und russischen Regierung. In anderem Sinne als ehemals ist gegen den Kulihandel unter den osteuropäischen Staaten und Rußland eine heilige Allianz zu schließen. Warten wir ab, ob der Geltendmachung der Menschenrechte von Portugal, Spanien und Peru die Vertröstung auf Guano und Zuckerrohr entgegengesetzt werden wird.\n\nWie sich die höchsten sittlichen Aufgaben gleichzeitig immer im Verlaufe der Zeiten auch als die zweckmäßigsten erweisen, so wird in Wahrheit die Abschaffung der neuen mit dem Mißbrauche der Rechtsformen verbrämten Sclaverei dahin führen, daß jene Vorurtheile schwinden, die uns den Weg in das Innere Chinas versperren und welche wir leider angesichts des Kulihandels als unsererseits verschuldet und verdient bezeichnen müßten. Ich glaube nicht, daß der deutsche Reichstag es über sich vermögen wird, die Sache der Kulis als eine unserer Nation gleichgültige von der Hand zu weisen. Er hat ausgesprochen, daß das Privateigenthum des Feindes im Seekriege von habgieriger Wegnahme verschont bleiben sollte, obwohl dies nach dem geltenden Völkerrechte gestattet ist. Und er sollte kein Wort der Klage und der Theilnahme haben, wenn mitten im Frieden Freiheit, Gesundheit und Arbeitskraft einer mit uns in Frieden lebenden Bevölkerung unter betrügerischen Vorstellungen geschädigt und vernichtet werden? Für die Beobachtung der Sonnenfinsternisse in fernen Zonen, für die Ergründung der Meeresfluthen, für die Durchforschung afrikanischer Wüstenstriche, für die Erreichung des Nordpols hätte das deutsche Volk Sinn und Verständniß, und der Wiedereinführung der Folter und der Sclaverei im Kulihandel sollte es gleichgiltig zuschauen? Belehren wir doch die Staatsmänner, die von der Entrüstung des deutschen Volkes so viel faseln, daß wir deswegen eine christliche Nation sind, weil wir den verfolgten Juden Rumäniens beistehen und weil wir die mit Füßen getretenen Rechte der Heiden männlich und entschieden vertheidigen und diese christlichen Pflichten unseren Staatsmännern und Volksvertretern auf das Gewissen zu legen gesonnen sind.\n\nPage 610",

        "content_text": "## THE HONGKONG IRISH FAMINE FUND.\n\nThe Government House Committee for the relief of the Irish Famine held a meeting on the 11th instant, His Excellency the Governor being in the chair. There were present Admiral Cotte, Sir John Smale, the Hon. E. L. O'Malley, the Hon. Ph. Ryrie, the Hon. Ng Choy, Dr. O'Brien, Messrs. F. D. Sassoon, E. R. Belilios, J. Loureiro, A. Coxon, H. M. Mehta, with Mr. Jackson as Hon. Treasurer, and Mr. Starkey as Hon. Secretary of the Committee. Mr. C. P. Chater, Mr. Mody, and one or two others were added to the Committee, and some Portuguese and Chinese gentlemen were elected as Sub-Committees for the purpose of working the subscription lists among their respective countrymen. Mr. Sassoon and Mr. Belilios having each added $500 to the sum already collected, the Committee was able to send at once £1,000 as their first contribution to the Duchess of Marlborough's Fund. This sum has accordingly been transferred by the Hongkong and Shanghai Bank by telegram to the Bank of Ireland and was, on the 12th instant, paid to the order of the Duchess's Committee.\n\nThe Government House Committee of the Irish Famine Fund met again on the 17th inst. There were present His Excellency the Governor, as Chairman; the Chief Justice, Sir John Smale; the Attorney General, the Hon. E. L. O'Malley; the Hon. P. Ryrie, the Hon. Ng Choy, Messrs. Belilios, Sassoon, Chater, Emory, Mehta, and Dr. O'Brien, with the Treasurer, Mr. Jackson, and the Hon. Secretary, Mr. Starkey. The members of the Chinese Sub-Committee were also present, viz., Messrs. Wong Kwan Tong, Chin U Tin, Kwok Acheong, Li Tak Chung, Ch'an Lai K'am, Ch'an Sui Shang, and P'un Wing Chun. The minutes of the previous meeting having been read and confirmed, a report was made as to the present yield of the subscriptions, and a resolution was unanimously passed to the effect that the Governor be requested to telegraph to the Duchess of Marlborough announcing that a second sum of £1,000 would this day be telegraphically transferred to her fund. It was further resolved unanimously that His Excellency be requested to telegraph to the Lord Mayor of Dublin and to transfer to his fund also a sum of £1,000 that day. A letter was then read which the Hon. Secretary and the Hon. Treasurer had addressed to the Duchess of Marlborough's Committee, reporting what had been done so far in this \"drop on the ocean\" for the benefit of the Emerald Isle. The Governor read to the Committee an extract from a communication which had reached him describing a meeting held in the South of Ireland, presided over by the Mayor of Cork, at which it was stated on the authority of one of the members for the city of Cork that the distress was so great that it would require £500,000 to tide over it as far as the month of May. Mr. Emory announced that the officers and men of the United States flagship `Richmond` had raised a subscription contributing more than $300 to the fund. It was accordingly resolved that His Excellency the Governor be requested to send a letter to Admiral Patterson to acknowledge the generous assistance given to the good work the Committee had in hand. The subscription books which the Chinese Sub-Committee had printed, and which are in themselves a curiosity, were shown to the Committee by the Hon. Ng Choy, who mentioned that one of His Excellency's Chinese friends had opened the list with a subscription of $1,000. The Honorary Treasurer announced that about $12,000 had so far been subscribed, including the sum of $2,000 from the Chamber of Commerce, and the sum of $2,500 from the Parsee community.\n\nThe Chinese residents are answering the appeal on behalf of the relief of the distress in Ireland in a most munificent spirit. Up to the present time they have, we understand, collected no less than $13,000 and the subscription is not nearly closed yet.\n\n472  \nApril",

Read a Minute by His Excellency the Governor, recommending a vote of $240, being arrears of pay at the rate of $60 each for 1884 due to 4 Police Constables (No. 23, PATTERSON, No. 57, TAYLOR, No. 66, GORDON, and No. 84, SUTHERLAND), who have accepted the increase of pay under the new Regulations as to term of service for pension and remittances to England.\n\nThe Committee find this to be in accordance with Regulations, and recommend that the amount be voted.\n\n## SERVICES EXCLUSIVE OF ESTABLISHMENTS\n\n### Government Gardens and Plantations\n\n(5.) Read a Minute by His Excellency the Governor, recommending a vote of $3,000, being amount required to carry out certain contracts to which the Government is already pledged this year.\n\nThe Committee find that these contracts were made before the revision of the Estimates for the current year took place, by which a reduction of $4,000 was made in the amount set down for this expenditure. They recommend, therefore, that the amount now asked for be voted.\n\n### Police\n\n(6.) Read a Minute by His Excellency the Governor, recommending a vote of $6,998.81, for the supply of 300,510 rounds of MARTINI-HENRY Ammunition, required for the use of the Police and Volunteers.\n\nThe Committee find that on the recommendation of the Major-General Commanding it has been decided to increase the number of MARTINI-HENRY Cartridges allowed to the Police for practice from 50 to 150 rounds per annum for each man, and that some of the Ammunition will also be required for the use of the Volunteers. They also find that 50,000 rounds of this Ammunition will be taken over by the Shanghai Volunteers, on payment, and the amount will be credited to this account in due course. They therefore recommend that the sum asked for be voted.\n\n### Roads, Streets and Bridges\n\n(7.) Read a Minute by His Excellency the Governor, recommending a vote of $2,500, being the second instalment for new roads near the old Mahomedan Cemetery.\n\nThe Committee find that the construction of these roads will enable the Government to offer for sale several building sites, which will realise considerably more than the outlay on the roads; they therefore recommend that the amount be voted.\n\n### Miscellaneous Services\n\n(8.) Read a Minute by His Excellency the Governor, recommending a vote of $500, being the cost of apparatus for the testing of Coal-Gas.\n\nThe Committee find that it is necessary to have this apparatus for testing, from time to time, the quality of Gas supplied by the local Gas Company. They consider the sum reasonable, and recommend that the amount be voted.\n\nC.S.O. 841 of 1885.\n\n### Colonial Defences\n\n(9.) Read a Minute by His Excellency the Governor recommending a vote for $1,200, being the equivalent of £220 at 3/8 per dollar, which Commodore MORANT has stated will be the approximate cost for fitting for torpedoes four steam launches.\n\nThe Committee find that the fitting of these launches with torpedoes is necessary for the defence of the Harbour, and recommend that the amount, which seems reasonable, be voted.\n\n(10.) Read a Minute by His Excellency the Governor, recommending a vote of $181.80, being the equivalent at the rate of £50 per annum at 3/8 per dollar, from 1st April to 30th November 1885, as allowance to a Seaman Gunnery Instructor for the Hongkong Auxiliary Flotilla.\n\nThe Committee find that, for the efficient working of the Flotilla, it is necessary to have a competent Instructor, and they recommend that the amount, which seems reasonable, be voted.\n\nThe Committee adjourns sine die.\n\nRead and confirmed this 18th day of May, 1885.\n\nARATHOON SETH, Clerk of Councils.\nW.

        "content_text": "302\n\n296\n\nTHE SANITARY RECORD.\n\n(F) Power of Entry\nUnder sect. 102, Public Health Act, 1875, the local authority or any of its officers have power of entry to any premises to examine for nuisances, enforcing the smoke prevention provisions, or examine as to recurring nuisances.\n\nTo enter upon land (sect. 105, Public Health Act, 1875) for the purposes of making plans, surveying, measuring, levelling, keeping in repair or examining works, ascertain the course of sewers or drains, or ascertaining or fixing boundaries and many other purposes.\n\nQuestion 3.\nWhat are the chief principles to be observed in the sewerage of a town or district, and how would you proceed to determine the size and capacity of the outfall sewer? What size of sewer would you propose for a town of 25,000 population where the gradient is 1 in 300? Illustrate your answer by sketches.\n\nAnswer: Geographical configuration, annual average rainfall, number of present population and prospective increase, taking the last census as a basis. Whether a full water-closet town, or if to be sewered on the separate system: the nature of the outfall with a view to gravitation or mechanical lifting, and other minor causes.\n\nThe size of the outfall sewer, in my opinion, should be not less than 3 feet 3 inches by 4 feet 6 inches, discharging 185 cubic feet per minute, thus allowing the sewage at 30 cubic feet per head per day to be discharged in eight hours. On the separate system this capacity for a full water closet town, and to allow for heavy rainfalls, say 3 feet by 4 feet 6 inches, if rain or surface waters is to be included, discharging 267 cubic feet per minute, with the inclination given of 1 in 300.\n\nQuestion 4\nWrite a specification for laying stoneware pipe sewers.\n\nAnswer: Being the specification for a pipe sewer, I assume that any local surveyor would be equal to this, and as it would take up a very considerable space in the SANITARY RECORD, without a corresponding benefit to surveyors generally, I omit to take up the space, the general features of such a specification being that the pipes shall be straight, sound, and true to bore, well and truly laid, and jointed in a perfectly water-tight manner; the earth excavated at the collars so that the body of the pipe may have a true bearing along its whole length. If in faulty ground concreted all around and on top to exclude uneven pressure; if on good ground, then the earth put in 6-inch layers, well rammed in around and above to avoid sinkage. All laid in straight lines from manhole to manhole, with provision for ventilation and lighting, so that a lamp inserted at a lamphole may be seen and show a light to an adjacent manhole, thus at once showing where any stoppage existed.\n\nQuestion 5.\nSupposing a sewer to have a gradient of 1 in 300, how much would the velocity and discharge be increased by altering the gradient to 1 in 60?\n\nAnswers: 1 in 300 = 4/57*32) = 7*92 increase of discharge per second. 1 in 60 = /1000 = 10*00) = 17*32 (1.732 increase of velocity per second.\n\n1005\n\n7320\n\n2000\n\n3200\n\n3000\n\n2000\n\n22000\n\nQuestion 6.\nGive a description of the process termed intermittent downward filtration. State what area of land you would require with a gravelly soil for applying this method of purifying sewage to a town with a population of 20,000 inhabitants; and state the arrangements you would adopt for dealing with the rain water falling on the roofs, yards, and streets.\n\nAnswer: Intermittent downward filtration may be termed a natural system of purification of sewage by means of the filtering and aërating action of the soil: it is carried on by discharging (with or without previous precipitation) upon a properly prepared area, the sewage of the town under drainage. This sewage is conducted upon the prepared area by a series of carriers, and then allowed to filter through the land into drains laid about 6 feet under ground, from whence it (as an effluent) is conducted to its outfall, mostly a river. The action upon the sewage is threefold—viz., evaporation, aëration, and filtration, and if properly conducted should give an effluent of a very high standard.\n\nAs to the amount of land requisite for the purification of the sewage of a town of 20,000 population, authorities differ, but taking the daily amount of sewage per head at 30 gallons, and the average of five persons to each house equal to 150 gallons per house per day, then the fact that this quantity must be got rid of in about eight hours, it would not be safe to reckon less than 1,000 gallons per house. Then taking 4,000 houses, there would be 4,000,000 gallons of sewage to deal with, which could be successfully treated on 5 acres of such land; but it would, of course, require that a very far larger amount should be provided, as no land could be expected to be constantly under treatment, and the least amount should be five times this quantity, so as to have only one-fifth under treatment.\n\nGreat diversity of opinion exists upon this subject, and no very hard and fast line can be drawn. Each case must rest upon individual merits and local circumstances.\n\nWith regard to dealing with rain-water from roofs, most of it should undoubtedly be stored for domestic use, as it is far too valuable to be uselessly wasted. Drainage from yards and roads should be conducted in separate channels (from the sewer proper) to a natural outfall: although often in storms the washings from roads may be nearly as bad as sewage; but, on the other hand, if the surface-water were admitted, the sewers would have to be greatly increased in size to provide for excessive rainfall.\n\nQuestion 7.\nDescribe and illustrate by sketches the essential points to be observed in carrying out a system of house drainage, and the best means of providing urinal and closet accommodation for schools, workhouses, and similar institutions.\n\nQuestion 8.\nIn arranging the water supply for a manufacturing town of 30,000 inhabitants, state what you consider of importance as regards (A) Sources of supply; (B) Quantity required; (C) Distribution.\n\nAnswer: (A) The geographical situation of the town, as to the possibility of gravitation from rivers or otherwise; the geological situation of its surroundings, with a view to its probability of affording a sufficiency of supply and its nature as to hardness, &c.; the annual average rainfall: what water rights, if any, existed; the present population and prospective rate of increase, and whether the town was a full water-closet one or otherwise.\n\n(B) Twenty-five to thirty gallons per head population.\n\n(C) Under pressure that all cisterns had ball-cocks and tell-tale overflows; that Deacon's waste-water preventers were in use; that a thorough system of inspection existed to detect waste; that the mains were well laid and efficiently jointed, and that a sufficiency existed for immediate use in case of fire. In the constant service system there is very little, if any, waste; the returns from many towns showing none; but in the intermittent there is often a large amount of waste through neglect of the inhabitants and defective fittings. The screw-down tap somewhat modifies this, but it is a very slow and unsatisfactory way of drawing water.\n\nQuestion 9.\nDescribe the general characters of the waters derived from—(1) The chalk; (2) the new red sandstone; (3) the carboniferous formations; and the methods by which water should be obtained from each.\n\nAnswer: (1) Water derived from the chalk formation, although generally pure and plentiful (except in long seasons of drought), is often very hard, leaving injurious effects on some constitutions.\n\n(2) Water derived from the new red sandstone formation is sometimes of a rather hard description, but not to the degree of that yielded by the chalk formation.\n\n(3) The carboniferous (or coal measure) formations always yields soft water of undoubted purity, and generally in ample volume for all purposes.\n\nQuestion 10.\nIn what ways is water able to be polluted after collection, during its distribution to houses, and in houses? What means would you adopt to prevent such pollution?\n\nAnswer: Water may become polluted after collection by fungoid growths and atmospheric influences (where exposed to such): during distribution, from imperfect pipes and joints allowing sewer or other gas to enter the mains; in houses, by improper fittings, such as a cistern in direct communication with the drain, or so placed as to be difficult of cleansing, and frequently not ventilated, and other insidious causes.\n\nQuestion 11.\nWhat fittings, and plumber's work generally are required for a high-pressure constant water service? How would you make the connection with the main? Describe the kinds of joints which should be used on the branches?\n\nAnswer: The class of fittings required for the high-pressure constant service are iron tubular services with iron angle or T-pieces, either tinned or galvanised. Where lead must be used the joints should be what is known as plumber's or wiped joints, the taps being those known as the high-pressure screw-down service taps, the connection with the main being by a ferrule; plumber's joints on branches, unless iron unions are used.\n\nQuestion 12.\nThere is great difficulty in obtaining a supply of good water for a country house, and it is therefore necessary to obtain as much water as possible from the roofs, and to use it for drinking and cooking purposes. The total area of area of the roof of the house and offices is 8,000 square feet, and the average annual rainfall is about 40 inches. Calculate what size the storage tank should be, and give a sketch of it and of its appendages?\n\nAnswer: Size of storage tank, 160,000 gallons.\n\nQuestion 13.\nTo what extent does the size of a room affect the quantity of fresh air required for effective ventilation, and what quantity of air would be required per hour for a room containing 8,000 cubic feet, occupied by fifteen people? How would you ventilate such a room? Illustrate your answer by sketches.\n\nAnswer: Douglas Galton in 'Healthy Homes' quotes: \"According to theoretical calculations, it would appear that, with an initial air space of 1,000 cubic feet, occupied by one individual, it would be necessary to supply 3,000 cubic feet per hour, to maintain the room in a proper condition of humidity. As regards other impurities, if 0.6 per 1,000 of CO2 are accepted as the limit of respiratory impurity in a well-ventilated air space, in addition to the 0.4 per 1,000 in normal air, we can calculate out the amount of air necessary for the purpose; and from this calculation it appears that it requires 3,000 cubic feet per hour to preserve the air-space in the required state of freshness. Thus the theoretical calculations, based first upon humidity, and secondly on carbonic acid, bring us to similar conclusions in each case.\"\n\nDe Chaumont in Parkes' 'Practical Hygiene': \"A certain amount of fresh air has to pass through a given space in a fixed time in order to maintain a certain degree of purity; the amount has been fixed at 3,000 cubic feet for each healthy person in an hour. Thus a space of 100 cubic feet must have its air changed thirty times in an hour. If 3,000 feet of air are to be given, while a space of 1,000 cubic feet need only have it changed three times in an hour for an equal ventilation, then our problem being 15 persons in a room of 8,000 cubic feet, would work out thus: - 3,000 x 15 = 45,000 cubic feet of air as requisite. The room being of 8,000 cubic feet capacity would require the air to be changed nearly 5.6 times in an hour.\n\nCOMPETITIONS.\nSANITARY INSTITUTE OF GREAT BRITAIN.\nAt an Examination, held Nov. 11 and 12, 62 Candidates presented themselves as Local Surveyors and 59 as Inspectors of Nuisances.

Negotiations are now proceeding to secure other representatives whose names will be submitted to your Department in due course.\n\nMr. Patterson, the President of the Textile Alliance, is now in this country and desires to take this opportunity to offer the following observations upon the reasons that make it necessary for the Alliance to be represented at ports of shipment in British territory.\n\nThe occasion for making these observations may be stated as follows:-\n\nThe United States Government have advised other trades, which the Textile Alliance are not, and do not wish to be, concerned in, to adopt the system of organisation or control initiated by the Textile Alliance. Steps are now being taken in America, under the auspices of the United States Government, to organise such Alliances for other trades on that basis but without representation at ports of shipment; and it is anticipated that these Alliances will eventually submit to His Majesty's Government proposals for agreement similar, with this exception, to that which regulates the operation of the Textile Alliance.\n\nMr. Patterson has been consulted by the United States Government in an advisory capacity in these organisations and perceiving that some misapprehension exists in the United States as to the necessity of Alliances of this character being represented in British territory he has made the following representations to the United States Authorities concerned upon this subject and thinks it may be",

To make the supervision of the British Government in foreign territory complete under this agreement it was necessary that before leaving British territory the Textile Alliance should obtain absolute control of the goods and retain that control until the intended recipient in America had given an undertaking as to the disposal of the goods and then obtained delivery.\n\nIt is for that reason that shippers have been required to obtain a recommendation from the representatives of the Textile Alliance before they obtain an export licence from the British Government. The recommendation is obtained by the shipper on an application in which is embodied an agreement accepting conditions of the Alliance, and in particular that he, the shipper, and his intended destinatory in America, who must have been approved as such by the British Government and all other parties concerned agree,\n\n(i) to consign to Mr. Patterson, as President of the Textile Alliance or to one of the Custodian Bankers for account of the Alliance in case financial protection is needed. The origin and the purpose of the interposition of Custodian Bankers was explained to your Department in a letter addressed to you by Mr. Freshfield on 8th November 1915.\n\nand\n\n(ii) to hand the Bill of Lading to the representative of the Textile Alliance or as the Alliance may direct, as it becomes an operative document carrying the title to the goods.\n\nThe purpose of the rule is to ensure that so soon as the Bill of Lading becomes an effective document of title to the goods the right to dispose of the goods will pass into the absolute control of the Textile Alliance and so remain until delivery is given to the recipient.\n\n\"The Alliance consider that for these reasons it is essential for the practical working of this system that they should be represented at the place of export and doubt whether efficient control of the merchandise can be assured to any private organisation by other means which permit the retention and transmission of documents of title by shippers to banks or individuals who need not be the approved recipients. Such banks or individuals may thereby set up an equitable title and obtain possession by legal action. Under the Alliance system this course has in fact never been attempted.\n\nThe present system of consular consignment presents the only alternative affording complete security.'\n\nMr. Patterson will take an early opportunity of waiting upon your Department if it will be agreeable to you to receive him.\n\nWe are, Sir,\n\nYour obedient servants,\n\nFRESHFIELDS\n\nNew Bank Buildings,\n\n31, Old Jewry, (E.C.2)\n\nPage 363\n\nThe Under Secretary of State,\n\nColonial Office,\n\nS.

The inclusion of hides and skins not bearing hair or wool in our arrangements.\n\n2. Facilities for exporting these commodities (as well as skins of sheep and goats with hair or wool on them) from the East African Protectorates including Aden. As shipments via the United Kingdom are no longer permitted the trades interested in the United States would like to be helped in the matter of shipping facilities either for direct shipment or, if the Union Government permit, via South Africa. We are not without hope that the Ministry of Shipping may be able with the assistance of your Department to help us.\n\n3. Shipments of Australian Wool via Vancouver. The Alliance would like to have permission to use vessels plying to Vancouver if and when space offers after satisfying the requirements of the Canadian and Australian Authorities.\n\n4. Should the Authorities purchase wool in South Africa the Alliance would, subject to certain reservations which can be mentioned in conference, wish American traders who have purchased to be permitted to carry through their purchases.\n\n5.

        "content_text": "# HONGKONG LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL\n\nThe Senior Unofficial Member spoke on the present day, to show how the fair treatment of the Chinese has resulted in the immensely greater proofs of prosperity which are now before us today and which are the result of the cordial cooperation that has for so long existed and still exists between the British and Chinese in this Colony. (Applause.)\n\n## THE DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC WORKS\n\nIn reply to the speech of the Hon. the Senior Unofficial Member, it is much to be regretted that the work of strengthening main roads has had to be postponed and in some cases the maintenance votes have had to be reduced. It will be readily understood that such postponement and reductions in regard to the upkeep of Main Roads cannot be permitted for any length of time without serious deterioration and the ultimate heavy expenditure that will be required to bring them back to the present standard.\n\nProvision has been made for the continuation of work on all items of the Shing Mun Valley Scheme (part 1) estimated to cost $3,500,000 and everything will be done to expedite this scheme, until the completion of which it will not be possible to do without the restriction of the water supply both at Hongkong and Kowloon during periods in which there is an unequally distributed rainfall.\n\n### FILTER BEDS\n\nThe Contract for the Bowen Road Fast Gravity Filtration Plant has been let to Messrs. Patterson Engineering Co. The contract price including shipment and erection is £8,700. Reinforced concrete work and foundations will be extra. Drawings have not yet been received so that the cost for this work is not known. The contract is to be completed in 9 months. The capacity of the plant is three million gallons per day as compared with the output of the existing Bowen Road filter beds of ... million.\n\nThe Eastern filter beds are nearing completion. The total number of these beds is 11, all of which have been constructed. Five are at present in use as filter beds giving an approximate output of ... million gallons; 2 are being used as balance tanks and the remaining 4 are not utilised as filter beds until the 5 million gallon Service Reservoir now in progress is completed. All the beds cannot be yet in use.\n\n### PRAYA ROAD EAST\n\nMention has been made of the disturbed conditions of the Praya Road at Wanchai. Unfortunately, the raising of all drains and sewers necessitated by the Praya East Reclamation has caused heaving of the roads in this District, which has been complicated by the necessary removal of water mains, gas pipes, cables, etc., which had to be dealt with at the same time. As far as possible, this unavoidable inconvenience to the public will be reduced to the minimum. The large open sewer running parallel with the old Praya wall is responsible for many of the complaints received, but this matter has now been referred to the Port Development Department, and it is hoped the contractor responsible will be able to keep this drain in a more sanitary condition in future.\n\n### MOTOR LORRIES AND CARS\n\nThe increase referred to on page 79 showing an excess of estimated expenditure of $44,311 for 1926 under the head of Other Charges over that of 1925 is chiefly accounted for by the four items:\n\n| Item | Amount |\n| --- | --- |\n| Incidental expenses quarries | $7,600 |\n| Upkeep of motor lorries and cars | $14,000 |\n| Upkeep of quarry plants | $11,500 |\n| Electric lights and fans | $5,000 |\n\nThe two increased items for Incidental Expenses for Quarries and upkeep of Quarry Plant amounting to $19,000 were inserted to meet expenditure at the New Quarry at Tai Kok Tsui, which was required for supplying materials for the strengthening of the Kowloon Roads, but since the strengthening of these roads has been postponed, the Quarry will not now be required, and there will be a saving of this amount.\n\nWith regard to the item for Upkeep of Motor Lorries and Cars, the increase is provided to meet the upkeep of additional Lorries, etc., which are now more than double the number on hand at the commencement of this year. The remaining increase of $5,000 is to meet the upkeep of the increased number of fans and lights principally in New Buildings, such as the Fire Station, Saiyingpun School, Sisters' Quarters, etc., which are nearing completion.\n\n## TAIPO ROAD\n\nWith regard to the dangerous bridges on the Taipo Road referred to, an item was tentatively proposed to be included in the estimates for 1926 for this work, but, owing to retrenchment, it had to be postponed. The necessity of improving these bridges is considered most essential, together with the widening and improving of the approaches to them. The widening of all of the bridges between Castle Peak and Taipo Market has been taken in hand and should be completed by the early part of next year.\n\nProvision has been made under Item P.W.E. 14 for converting an open iron-shed at Wanchai Depot into a temporary workshop for carrying out repairs to lorries and cars, and a mechanical engineer has arrived and will be put in charge of this workshop. It is hoped that in the near future, this Department will have a large general workshop with a fully qualified mechanical engineer in charge, but at present, only small repairs can be undertaken at the Wanchai Workshop.\n\n## REVISED EXPENDITURE FOR 1925\n\nThe estimated revised expenditure for 1925 was not inserted in the Draft Estimates for 1926 because of the difficulty of arriving at the amount with any degree of accuracy in consequence of: (a) Labour troubles; (b) The necessity for economy; (c) Ascertaining what claims would have to be faced from contractors if contracts were to be interfered with. An approximate estimate has now been made of the amounts that will be expended during 1925 on such works as appear in the 1926 estimates, and these figures will be included in the final print of the estimates for 1926. These figures could not be made available in time for Hon. Members' reference when considering the Draft Estimates for 1926.\n\n## THE COLONIAL SECRETARY\n\nBefore I proceed to reply in any way to the comments on the estimates made by the Unofficial Members of Council, I would like to thank them, and especially the Senior Chinese member, for the personal references to myself in connection with Budget debates and estimates. I think this is the twelfth debate on the Budget of this Colony with which I have been associated, and I had the honour of introducing the estimates for the years 1914, 1919, and 1923. The progress and development of the revenue of the Colony, and the Colony's general prosperity during the nearly fourteen years since I came here, has, of course, been extraordinarily gratifying to me and to the whole community. I have watched the progress of this Colony with the very greatest possible interest, and although there is what I am sure we all feel to be a purely temporary slackening of that development, I am satisfied that if I am able to return to this Colony, even within a comparatively short time, I shall find all the big works under contemplation, in full swing again, and an ample revenue to make provision for them. (Applause.)\n\n### STREET NAMES\n\nIn reply to the Hon. Mr. Bird's remarks, I would state: With regard to Street Name Plates, this work had to be postponed. The design of these name plates was decided upon in consultation with the Hon. Mr. H. W. Bird and approved by Government in April last, and 89 Street Name plates (50 in Kowloon and 39 in Hongkong) would have been completed during this year. The preliminary work was in hand when the Strike prevented further progress. Since then, owing to retrenchment, all works not considered essential, and such works as could be cancelled without involving claims, have been stopped.\n\n### JUNIOR CLERICAL SERVICE\n\nI will now turn to the remarks of the Senior Unofficial member, which have, so far, not been replied to. With regard to the transfer of the amounts for the Junior Clerical Service from the different departments to the end of the Estimates, this was done, as pointed out by Your Excellency when addressing the Council, as it meant a great convenience when clerks are moved from one department to another. It also gives the total cost of... \n\nPage 391",

        "content_text": "# HONGKONG LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL\n\nby the Colonial Secretary. Mr. Bird said that if such and such was the case—I regret I did not take a full note of his remarks—our views did not coincide. Well, I am afraid our views do not coincide. (Laughter.)\n\n## NEW TERRITORIES\n\nWith regard to the question of farms in the New Territories I am not less pleased than surprised to hear that there are thousands of acres in the New Territories suitable for extensive cultivation. I can assure the honourable member that if he can find those thousands of acres which are not being put to the best possible use he will have accomplished a feat which the geological survey was not able to accomplish. I entirely agree with the desirability of encouraging the inhabitants to grow fruit, vegetables, and so on. Not long ago, being in the village of Kam Tin, I endeavoured to interest the Elders in these matters, and urged them to endeavour to develop their district so as to supply pigs and chickens especially for this Colony. I said the Government would be happy to consider any proposals or suggestions which they had to put forward. The Elders listened to me with the customary politeness of Chinese Elders, and since then I have heard no more. I can assure the hon. member that the Government will take a sympathetic view of any practical scheme. Owing to the smallness of the area it is not possible to do much, but I have had one or two instances before me in the last few weeks which suggest that something might be done. For instance Mr. Soares interested me particularly in an excellent banana he is growing successfully at Un Long and Mr. Alves has established a flourishing ginger plantation in the same neighbourhood. Now that the attention of the public is being gradually turned to the New Territories we may see some development. If we do no one will be more pleased than I.\n\n## STREET NAMES\n\nI think last year I encouraged the hon. member to the extent of agreeing that the provision of street names would be useful, but I do not think we could possibly regard the placing of street names at corners of streets as a necessity. After all this is not such a very large place and even at times when the trams cease running I think most people know the street they are in. (Laughter.) The exact connection between street and a geological survey escapes me. I deprecate any suggestion that the money provided for the geological survey should be used for any other purposes.\n\n## TREES IN NATHAN ROAD\n\nWith regard to the trees in Nathan Road, referred to by the Colonial Secretary, I quite agree with the hon. member that the banyan trees are most unsuitable and I shall be glad to see them removed. At present they do not appear to be doing any particular harm, but if we remove them now we shall have to spend a fairly considerable sum in replacing the road where the trees have been and generally making things tidy. It would be a mistake to put this work in hand considering that in a year or two we shall be improving and strengthening the roads. When the proper time comes I hope the D.P.W. will consider the advantage of planting artocarpus integrifolia.\n\n## MOTOR TRAFFIC\n\nWith regard to motor traffic and the desirability of widening the bridges on the Taipo Road, I deprecate the idea that every road in this Colony should be of such a width as to encourage people to drive down them at the greatest possible speed. I suggest that a narrow bridge is only a danger if two people, driving at excessive speed, try to cross at the same time in opposite directions or the same direction. If drivers would exercise a reasonable amount of intelligence and forethought they would slow down naturally until one person had crossed the bridge. The practice of widening and improving the roads of the Colony just for the sake of trying out the powers of motor cars is not one with which I am personally in sympathy.\n\n## A SUITABLE RESERVE\n\nThe hon. member went on to suggest that economies could be carried too far, and said that in his opinion the financial situation was not such as to necessitate applying the axe to works urgently required and remarked that I suggested last year $5,000,000 as a suitable figure for a reserve. Speaking under the same conditions as last year I should repeat that, but speaking under the conditions as they exist I am by no means sure that I should. Five million dollars is a nice sum to have in hand for a rainy day when everything is going satisfactorily, and revenue meets expenditure but if your revenue for reasons beyond your control is extremely uncertain and may very likely come very far short of balancing your expenditure, I think it is desirable to keep your reserve as high as you can by cutting out all work not absolutely necessary. I trust and believe that in a few months, or a year's time at the latest, the Colony will be able to bring forward a supplementary list of works which will enable the hon. member to see the streets properly named and the things he has suggested carried out, but at the present time I deprecate taking a too optimistic view of the situation which cannot be said to be entirely satisfactory.\n\n## EDUCATION\n\nI have left to the last the question of education, which was raised by the Attorney-General, and by the senior Chinese member. I am afraid I was so wrapt up in the wonderful construction of my predecessor's last paragraph that I rather missed the exact meaning of the Attorney-General's remarks. I think, however, it must be admitted that some education as applied to the Chinese from Western quarters, and that the part taken in recent events by students, who should be supposed to have acquired an intelligence beyond that of their uneducated countrymen, has shown that they possess less than the beasts which perish. I am inclined to agree with what I know is the view of the Director of Education. Our mistake has been in attaching too much importance to Western education, from which, if you come to examine the matter closely, it is not clear that all Occidentals benefit very greatly. It is certainly a mistake that we have not paid more attention to the vernacular education of Chinese. I may tell you that the Director of Education is devoting much time to the discussion of this subject with my entire sympathy and support, and I hope that in due course it will be possible to provide a chain of Chinese education from the vernacular schools for Chinese to a Chinese faculty in the University.\n\n## HON. MR. HOLYOAK\n\nHON. MR. HOLYOAK—I wish to reply to some of the statements which have been made, but at the outset I should like to say that the Unofficial Members did not realise that this would be the last occasion on which the Colonial Secretary would be present at the meeting of Council. If we had realised this we should certainly have made some reference to it and should have associated ourselves with the remarks which have been made by you, Sir, and by the other senior Chinese Member. I anticipated that he would be present at a later meeting and that we should have an opportunity of taking an official farewell then.\n\n## WATER SCHEMES\n\nWith reference to the question of water schemes I am glad to have the assurance of the Director of Public Works that those schemes will be continued. I must confess, however, that I was somewhat surprised to hear that Mechanical Filtration system in Bowen Road had been definitely settled without reference to the Public Works Committee, for the simple reason that the Director of Public Works knows well that this Committee went to the trouble of inspecting the Bell's Filtration system in use at Taikoo Sugar Refinery, and from that time on no report or reference has been made to it in connection with the matter. I learn now for the first time that the Patterson system has been adopted. I happen to know that this system is not in general use in England compared with the system we advocated which has been almost universally adopted at home and has given universal satisfaction. I submit that under the circumstances the report of the Water Engineer sent home to investigate the matter should have been submitted to the Public Works Committee before this system was definitely embarked upon. The explanation of the Director of Public Works in connection with my remarks on other matters...\n\nPage 105\nPage 394",

        "content_text": "## the last paragraph of his despatch he says as follows:\n\n\"Hongkong has indeed changed its aspect; and when it is remembered that all this has been affected in Her Majesty's reign and indeed during a space of less than fifty years on ground in immediate contact with the most populous Empire in the world, by a comparatively infinitesimal number of an entirely alien race separated from their Homes by nearly the whole earth, and, unlike their countrymen in Australia and Canada, living in an enervating and trying climate; and when it is further remembered that the Chinese, whose labour and enterprise under British auspices have largely assisted in this development, have been under no compulsion, but have come here as free men, attracted by liberal institutions, equitable treatment, and the justice of our rule; and when all this is taken into account, it may be doubted whether the evidence of material and moral achievement, presented as it were in a focus, makes anywhere a more forcible appeal to eye and imagination, and whether any other spot on the earth is thus more likely to excite, or more fully justifies pride in the name of Englishman.\"\n\n## THE TASK FOR THE SCHOOLS\n\nThe point that I wish to make now is that the Hongkong Government ought to make it its business to teach in its schools and in the University, the wonderful growth and prosperity of this Colony, owing to its liberal institutions, its equitable treatment of, and justice to, all races, and, starting onward from Governor Des Voeux's despatch to the present day, to show how that same fair treatment of the Chinese has resulted in the immensely greater proofs of prosperity which are now before us to-day and which are the result of the cordial co-operation which has for so long existed and still exists between the British and Chinese in this Colony.-(Applause.)\n\n## DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC WORKS\n\nThe **DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC WORKS**: Sir, In reply to the speech of the Hon. the Senior Unofficial Member, it is much to be regretted that the work of strengthening main roads has had to be postponed and in some cases the maintenance votes have had to be reduced. It will be readily understood that such postponement and reductions in regard to the upkeep of Main Roads cannot be permitted for any length of time without the ultimate serious deterioration and heavy expenditure that will be required to bring them back to the present standard.\n\nProvision has been made for the continuance of work on all items of the Shing Mun Valley Scheme (part 1) estimated to cost $3,500,000 and everything will be done to expedite this scheme, until the completion of which it will not be possible to do without the restriction of the water supply both at Hongkong and Kowloon during periods in which there is an unequally distributed rain-fall.\n\n### FILTER BEDS\n\nThe Contract for the Bowen Road Fast Gravity Filtration Plant has been let to The Messrs. Patterson Engineering Co. contract price including shipment and erection is £8,700. Reinforced concrete work and foundations will be extra. Drawings have not yet been received so that the cost for this work is not known. The contract is to be completed in 9 months. The capacity of the plant is three million gallons per day as compared with the output of the existing Bowen Road filter beds of ... million.\n\n405",

If we had realised this, we should certainly have made some reference to it and should have associated ourselves with the remarks which have been made by you, Sir, and by the Senior Chinese Member. I anticipated that he would be present at a later meeting and that we should have an opportunity of taking an official farewell then.\n\n## WATER SCHEMES\n\nWith reference to the question of water schemes, I am glad to have the assurance of the Director of Public Works that those schemes will be continued. I must confess, however, that I was somewhat surprised to hear that the Mechanical Filtration system in Bowen Road had been definitely settled without reference to the Public Works Committee, for the Director of Public Works knows well that this Committee went to the trouble of inspecting the Bell's Filtration system in use at Taikoo Sugar Refinery, and from that time on, no report or reference has been made to it in connection with the matter.

I submit that under the circumstances, the report of the Water Engineer sent home to investigate the matter should have been submitted to the Public Works Committee before this system was definitely embarked upon. The explanation of the Director of Public Works in connection with my \"Other Charges\" really bears on the general subject of putting in large sums of money without definite explanations. On more than one occasion, we have had to refer, in Finance Committee, to votes which had to be passed without sufficient explanation, and this is part and parcel of the same thing.\n\nH.E. THE GOVERNOR: I rather think that there is some misunderstanding. The figure quoted on page 79 of the estimates is made up of a very large number of estimates which are explained both in the draft estimates and on the notes covering the differences in the estimates. The hon. member should appreciate that the total may cover 40 items.\n\nHon. Mr. HOLYOAK: It might be appreciated by an accountant, but I am not an accountant.\n\nH.E. THE GOVERNOR: The word \"total,\" Other Charges, would seem to indicate that it was a total, even if the hon. member is not an accountant.\n\n## EAST PRAYA DRAINAGE\n\nOn the question of Praya East drainage, Hon. Mr. HOLYOAK: I could not help noting the remark of the Director of Public Works that he \"hoped the contractor responsible would improve the position.\" Surely it is for the Director of Public Works to insist upon the improvement.\n\n## REFUSE DESTRUCTORS\n\nWith regard to refuse destructors, notwithstanding the fact that the Colonial Secretary has re-read to us the statement made in previous discussions, I would beg you to note that it is the unanimous recommendation of the Unofficial Members that refuse destructors should be experimented with.\n\nPage 420  \nPage 421",

Hersee of the Mansion House has been acting as liaison officer between the Executive Committee and the Lord Mayor.\n\nUnder the Executive Committee are working three Sub-Committees: a Medical Sub-Committee consisting of Sir Harold Pawcus, Dr. Harold Balme and Dr. Gordon Thompson; Clothing and Comforts Sub-Committee consisting of Lady Layton (Chairman), Dame Rachel Crowdy and the Rev. S.H. Dixon, Vice-Chairmen, Mrs. Gordon-Lennox, Hon. Secretary, Mrs. E.K.

On October 6th, the following letter from him appeared in \"The Times\":\n\n\"I have been asked to organize an Appeal to the City of London in order to render prompt and efficient help for the people of China, who are enduring untold suffering as the result of the hostilities now in progress in their country, and for the large number of British subjects affected.\n\n\"There is an acute shortage of medical and sanitary supplies of all kinds. The intensity of the hostilities has caused an enormous number of casualties among the general population in the areas attacked from sea, land, and air, and also among the multitudes of refugees who have been evacuated to seek safety and shelter.\n\n\"The need is already most serious and is increasing at an alarming rate, as air raids daily spread death and destruction, while interference with sea traffic renders it most difficult to obtain the indispensable supplies.\n\n\"The entire City is deeply stirred by the terrible picture of this tragedy, and all are anxious and ready to do something to relieve the desperate situation.\n\n\"I am immediately forming, in cooperation with the Governor of the Bank of England, a Collecting Committee representing all departments of financial and commercial life, for the purpose...\n\nYours truly,\nGEORGE BROADBRIDGE, LORD MAYOR.\"",

He arrived on the `Gripsholm` and has been employed for the last six years in the Police Department of the Shanghai Municipal Council as a Detective Sergeant. I understand from him that there were half a dozen Shanghai policemen on the exchange ship. Mr. Crouch felt very keenly the fact that no one had met his party or could be persuaded to take an interest in their case. His point was that all of them had endeavoured to enlist early in the war and had been advised by the British Diplomatic representatives in Shanghai to remain at their posts. As a result of that, they said, they had been caught by the Japanese and were now landed in Canada without resources or means of support. I explained as gently as I could that they were not our responsibility but with the help of Mr. Patterson and Mr. Williams in Ottawa, arrangements were made for Mr. Crouch and his colleagues to report to the Department of External Affairs.\n\nMr. Crouch saw the scuttling of the Italian ship `Conte Verde` off Shanghai and he says that relations between Italians and Japanese and between Germans and Japanese in Shanghai are very strained. He informed me also confidentially that there were many short wave receiving sets still in action in Shanghai and that the BBC news through New Delhi and San Francisco were regularly listened to.\n\nI arranged with Mr. Williams to keep tabs on those Shanghai policemen, who are highly qualified men, in case the Colonial Office is interested in employing them on reconstruction work.\n\n`D 64251-1` 20 D/A 87 12/43\n\n33",

Engineer, was also very efficient. My squad at Depot No. 1, to which I was attached, saved 17 persons, and the 5 others under the command of Messrs. Weller, Graye, Holland, Reynolds, and Tu-tak-ham, rescued about the same proportion each. In the course of my duties, I had to assist in taking out the bodies of a number of Indian soldiers who had been killed and buried under the ruins of the building which was being used as the Headquarters of the volunteers. The building was in Peak Road, near the Peak Road tram stop. This building received a direct hit from a heavy bomb, probably 200 or 300 kilograms; being badly built, it was completely demolished, and of the 250 Indian soldiers who were in it, about 100 took refuge in Government Tunnel. They were so overcome by fear that it was impossible to get them to come out for 5 days. All the others were killed. Our squad succeeded with great difficulty in getting out 16 bodies from under the ruins. The remainder were covered with lime.\n\n9. \nThe Governor of Hong Kong, His Excellency Sir Mark Young, visited the scene while rescue work was on; he was extremely friendly, very attentive, calm, and decided, and also very optimistic, and he impressed me strongly with his calm courage and resolution. I was very sorry to learn that the Japanese kept him in solitary confinement at the Peninsular Hotel.\n\n10. The work of Naval and Military Demolition Squads was absolutely ineffective. No essential service was interrupted for more than a week. The Naval dockyard was working as before, and the dry dock was not in any way damaged. The Naval Work Shops at Kowloon, the electric power station, and the ferry were all working normally. I would here say that no British technical staff co-operated with the Japanese. In the Japanese newspaper \"Hongkong News\", which has taken the place of the \"South China Morning Post\", it is obvious that a British subject is collaborating. It is, however, impossible to say who this is or to give the names of any other collaborators.\n\n11. The fall of Hong Kong after only a semblance of defence of 19 days surprised many people. It would appear that the defence was not as thorough as it should have been; there was little co-operation, no offensive spirit; men were badly trained, living in too much comfort, and knowing nothing about the nature of the battle area. The troops were also allowed too much alcohol.\n\n12. Immediately after the armistice, the Chinese set about looting systematically all European houses and caused more damage than the Japanese bombardment. The contempt of the Chinese for the whites has become more and more marked after the fall of Hong Kong and Singapore.\n\n13. I left Hong Kong without difficulty on the 16th of March. I had to leave my wife there. I feel that as from April 1st, it would be very difficult for a neutral to live there. All Consulates were shut on the 9th of March by the orders of the Japanese Governor, and the French Consul, Mr. Reynaud, who did everything he could to assist Free Frenchmen to escape, helped me and my friend Captain Chevillard. The journey from Hong Kong to Fort Bayard (Kwang Chun Wan) was made on board the s.s. Shirogane Maru, and we arrived on the morning of the 18th. Thanks to the help of a friend at Fort...",

I saw Carruthers and Harrison in prison, and I am certain that Tiny Gardner (reported killed) turned up just as I was being transferred to the other side; in fact, I was told that he was definitely safe. Strong rumours from the city are that the Japs are being tough on Sir Vandeleur for not co-operating with the Japs and that he is interned at Stanley with all other civilians (excepting the lily-livered ones that are playing ball with the Japs, and I'm told plenty are). I take it Lady Grayburn is interned with the other ladies at Stanley also. My wife and two sons are there also.\n\nSome of those killed are Tam Pearce (J.J. Patterson is definitely safe now in Shamshuipo prison, although previously reported killed with Tam). Saw him at Shamshuipo. Old man Rogers, the white-haired American exchange broker, and Des Voeux killed with Mr. Pearce at North Point Electric station during the landing. Old man Hance got out of that mess with Mr. Patterson. Viner Gordon died around Jan. 21st at Bowen Rd., from injuries. George Tinson got killed at his home. Mackinley and Winter-Blythe of Mike Turner's firm are killed, and Mike is in military prison (he took a commission at the end in the Middlesex). Blaker of Gilmans is in there too, as he was a volunteer. Forsythe put up a really grand show and was killed. The Scottish section of the volunteers made history, and most were wiped out.\n\nEdmondston and his family are all right.\n\nMany women were raped and murdered, as you now know, and it's all true. The atrocities you heard of are really true, and it has all been a terrible mess and a rotten show. Dr. Black killed, also Dulley of Jardines, and of course many others whose names I cannot recall at the moment. (Mrs. Black was killed along with her husband at Stanley during the raping there). I was ashore fighting with the lads, and it turned into hillbilly fighting all over the hills. We messed up the Repulse Bay Hotel a bit. When coming out through...\n\n-1-",

Bay View.\n\n20.30\n\n39. Mortar shelling from an east-north-easterly direction commenced, chiefly directed at Ap Lei Chau and the main road west of Aberdeen. Throughout the day raids became more frequent, the bombs being directed chiefly at the Naval Dockyard and harbour.\n\nReinforced sentry posts were manned from this date onwards. The construction of sandbag redoubts was commenced.\n\nThe shelling of the waterfront along King's Road became intensified, accompanied by heavy machine-gun fire. Ex-Police Sergeant Jessop, watchman at the Taikoo Docks, came to Quarry Bay chargeroom and reported that the Japanese had landed at the Taikoo Docks. All the European and Asiatic Police were formed into two groups under Inspectors O'Connor and Post respectively. Both groups proceeded with fixed bayonets to King's Road, one on each side of the street, where fighting was already in progress. Police formed up together and were awaiting further instructions when a hand grenade or bomb was thrown amongst them, causing them to scatter. L.S.A.175 Jack, who describes this incident, did not see either Inspectors again after this. He joined some Indian Troops and opened fire on the advancing Japanese. After about half an hour, seeing no Police, he returned to Quarry Bay Station, where he found Sub-Inspector Johnson and L.S.A.92 Porritt, the latter having been seriously wounded by a hand grenade. P.S.A.45 Loughlin, P.S.A.19 Hill, L.S.A.78 Campbell, and L.S.A.1 Ross were also present. A Military Officer arrived and ordered Police to retreat. Sergeants Ross and Campbell left first, carrying Sgt. Porritt in a basket chair. Sub-Inspector Johnson and Sgt. Jack followed afterwards, carrying a wounded Indian soldier. They tried to obtain first aid for him but failed. Sub-Inspector Johnson then left to speak to an officer, and Sgt. Jack did not see him again. He supported and dragged the Indian along until the latter died and then met an officer who asked him to guide him to Sanitorium Pass.\n\nProceeding up the hill, he noticed Sgts. Ross and Campbell still carrying Sgt. Porritt. A few hundred yards from the pass, he found a party of Volunteers under Mr. Murphy, formerly Assistant Crown Solicitor, and some Indian soldiers and Police. The Japanese attacked, and he took part in a fight, including bayonet work, which eventually, after about one hour, ended in our troops retreating. He was left alone and proceeded to Stanley Terrace, where he had a deep gash in his leg dressed by an R.A.M.C. Orderly; he then reported to Stanley Police Station. (By this time, it was 09.30 hours the next day). He eventually returned to Police Headquarters via the Aberdeen Road, as Repulse Bay Road and Wong Nei Chung were impassable.\n\nL.S.A.179 Morrison at the Hong Kong Electric Vital Post noticed ten to twelve invasion barges crossing from Kowloon Bay to Taikoo Sugar Refinery. The defences at the Electric Company, consisting of about fifteen members of the Special Defence Group under Major Patterson, about twenty members of the Hong Kong Electric and China Light & Power Company, and about ten Rajputs under an Indian Sergeant, opened fire. The enemy on the barges replied with tracer machine-gun bullets. Major Patterson reported to Military Headquarters.\n\nAt about 20.45 hours, it was noticed from the Hong Kong Electric that the Japanese effected a landing at the Sugar Refinery. At about 22.00 hours, Japanese troops approached the east wall of the Hong Kong Electric from the land, despite Indian troops who had manned a barricade in King's Road. At about 23.30 hours, the Indian troops withdrew from King's Road.",

Sgt. Morrison, who made this report, adds that he was unable to gain access to the telephone to inform No.2 Station of the enemy landing. He was in charge of the Police guarding the Hong Kong Electric Vital Post. The Cantonese had deserted earlier in the day as the result of the shelling and he was the only Police Officer left on the premises.\n\n21.30 Sub Inspector Taylor and Sub Inspector Daly on patrol observed a body of thirty to fifty Japanese soldiers at the east end of the Commercial Press building. Sub Insp. Daly returned to 390 King's Road, used as a Dispersal Point, to warn Police to evacuate over the hill to Bay View Station (Dragon Terrace) and then returned.\n\nThey informed a Captain of the Volunteers at the junction of King's Road and Power Street who observed the Japanese soldiers himself and then went to warn his men in the Hong Kong Electric. The two Sub Inspectors then went to Bay View Station and notified P.S.A. 214 Mawer, the Officer in Charge, who immediately informed Mr. Fay, Assistant Superintendent of Police, by telephone.\n\nMr. Fay shortly afterwards informed Bay View that he had warned Military Headquarters of the landing but that it was not believed. The Military Authorities later on however confirmed that the information was correct.\n\n23.00 The Officer in Charge investigated report of red lights having been fired. He found them to be our own Military ones.\n\n00.01 The Hong Kong Electric - During the night sandbag defenses of the outer office buildings were strengthened but 16.00 at daybreak accurate fire from trench mortars forced the defenders to withdraw first to the ground floor and then to the first floor of the Power Station after a number of casualties had been sustained. An attempt to relieve the party was unsuccessful and at about 10.00 hours it was decided to evacuate.\n\nA party of sixteen, of which Sgt. Morrison was a member, managed to reach Ah King's slipway at the cost of three wounded. A pillbox at the junction of Causeway Bay and King's Road manned by British troops who could not, owing to smoke from the A.P.C. fire, identify the party held them up and they remained there in the road sheltering behind two buses or taking refuge in nearby tenement houses being sniped at until 16.00 hours when after having repelled a bayonet charge Sgt. Morrison and one other were the only unwounded members of the party outside the tenements, and they were captured by the enemy coming up from the front and rear. Mr. T.E. Pearce and a Taikoo Engineer were killed in the bayonet encounter referred to above. Sgt. Morrison was eventually taken to the North Point Refugee Camp and detained there until after the surrender.\n\nThe General Alarm was sounded on information that a Japanese landing had been effected at North Point and Taikoo. Police stood by until 07.30 hours.\n\nOwing to the Japanese landing at North Point it was found impossible to proceed further than Causeway Bay and Police from No.2 Station posted at the Commercial Press and 390 King's Road Dispersal Points could not be withdrawn. Sub Inspector Taylor made three attempts during the night to reach 390 King's Road to ascertain what had happened to the Police there but failed owing to the presence of the enemy. On the second attempt he met a Sgt. Fox of the Middlesex Regiment who told him that a...\n\n2.\n\nPolice H.Q. & Central.\n\n00.15 to 07.30\n\n3.\n\nEastern.",

        "content_text": "## Nuremberg Trial: Goering Testifies\n\nHermann Goering, a prominent figure in the Nazi regime, testified in his defense during the Nuremberg trials. Professing ignorance of certain matters, he explained, \"If every order had to be reported to me, I would have drowned in paper.\" Goering told the court that he believed \"even Hitler did not know the extent of what was going on\" in concentration camps.\n\nThe British prosecutor, Sir Maxwell Fyfe, questioned Goering about his awareness of the atrocities committed in the camps. \"Do you expect anyone to believe that you were unaware of the deaths of ten million people killed in cold blood in the camps and the mass shootings?\" Goering attributed his ignorance to not listening to foreign broadcasts or reading foreign newspapers during the war, and claimed that the Gestapo Chief, Himmler, kept these matters \"an extreme secret.\"\n\nGoering drew laughter from the court when he interrupted Sir Maxwell, saying, \"I object to describing Himmler as a friend of mine.\" He then referred to his quarrel with Hitler over the shooting of 50 Royal Air Force officers in April 1944, stating, \"I never contradicted Hitler so strongly or so sharply as I did in the matter of the R.A.F. fliers... As a result of that, the Fuehrer and I did not speak to each other for months.\"\n\n## Truman's Conservation Plan and Army Rations\n\nIn line with Truman's conservation plan, the Army tightened its belt. The quartermaster corps revised its master menus, cutting rations for 100 men by 6.5 lbs. each for canned asparagus, beans, spinach, and tomatoes. Beets and cabbage were reduced to 5 lbs. each, potatoes to 10 lbs., and bread to 3 lbs.\n\nTruman signed legislation authorizing the Commodity Credit Corporation to pay an additional $125,000,000 in subsidies on meat and $25,000,000 on flour through June 30. The legislation also authorized the continuation of price support for sugar from Puerto Rico and Hawaii, and for vegetables and flaxseed.\n\n## Communist Leaders and Policies\n\nThe Communist leaders' policies were examined, revealing that the names of all those in the Politburo were not known to the Allies, but it was known that it consisted of Stalin's most trusted men, including Andrei Zhdanov and Mikhail Kalinin, as well as Molotov and Vishinsky. With the exception of Stalin, Molotov, and Vishinsky, the members of this policy-making committee had never been outside Russia and had had no fundamental understanding of the problems of other nations.\n\nVishinsky, one of the leading figures behind Russia's imperialist policy, expressed the view that the \"Mediterranean must no longer be a British lake but Russia must have its outlet there, too.\" He was known for his tough-talking attitude, which he carried to the United Nations.\n\n## Draft Law and Military Position\n\nArmy chiefs promised Congress that all fathers in the armed services would be released if the draft law was extended for at least another year. Secretary of War Robert Patterson and General Dwight Eisenhower suggested that draftees' service be limited to 18 months, the maximum size of the army be placed at 1,070,000, and the induction of fathers be prohibited.\n\n## French Deposits in Japan\n\nThe Japanese Government was ordered by Allied Headquarters to transfer French deposits now in the `Banque Franco-Japonaise` and `Banque de l'Indochine` to the main office of the Mitsubishi Bank in Singapore.\n\n## Strike by Policemen in Malaya\n\nA hunger strike arose from the demand for wage increases among policemen in Malaya. Their present wages were about 34/- monthly, with another 34/- in allowances. They were demanding 123/- monthly, with various allowances.\n\n## Defence Medal\n\nNearly one hundred miles of green and flame-colored ribbon were to be distributed shortly to four million civilians entitled to the Defence Medal at the rate of 2 inches each. The conditions of issue generally were three years of service in some unit entitled to claim the Civil Defence Red Service Chevrons.\n\n## Crime Reports\n\nA Chinese individual, Ip Sang, was sentenced to two months' hard labor for snatching two gold rings from a jeweller's shop in Shanghai Street.\n\n## Goering's Cross-Examination Continues\n\nSir Maxwell Fyfe questioned Goering on a document issued by the German High Command in November 1941, ordering escaped Soviet prisoners-of-war to be handed over to the Gestapo. Goering was also asked about his relationship with Hitler, and whether he had to behave with \"obsequious humility\" to him. Goering replied, \"I did not have to, and I did not.\"",

It is therefore to be regretted that the new Competent Authority, without a thorough investigation, departed very drastically in his controls list of 31st July last from Mr. Patterson's rates, so drastically (as can be testified to by hotel experts) that it is impossible and impracticable to carry on business at these decreased rates.\n\n(o) Again, the present Competent Authority is imposing severe regulations (vide Government Notification No.A190) whereby a hotel manager refusing accommodation would subject himself to a possible total fine of $10,000.00 or to a possible total imprisonment of 3 years, penalties usually associated with the commission of serious crimes and not justified by any real instance of conflict between hotel management and the public or the previous Quartering Authorities.\n\n(g) In actual fact, hotel keepers, in times of stress and need, have never been found wanting, thus, immediately after the Colony surrendered, many British subjects were confined in various Chinese...",
