        "content_text": "# Der Kulihandel\n\n## Ein Aufruf an die Menschheit des neunzehnten Jahrhunderts. Von Franz von Solhendorff\n\nZu allen Seiten ist der Glaube eine Macht gewesen. Er ist es auch noch heute. Gerade diejenigen, welche mit kirchlichen Formen nichts zu thun haben mögen, bekennen sich zu dem festen Glauben, daß die Menschheit in stetig vorwärts schreitender Bildung höheren Zielen der Befitting entgegen geht. Inmitten der unberechenbaren Bereicherung unserer naturwissenschaftlichen Kenntnisse, umgeben von den überraschenden Anwendungen neuer Entdeckungen auf Gewerbe und Volkswirthschaft, empfangen wir die Offenbarungen der niemals rastenden Forschung.\n\nEs ist ein Zeichen unserer Zeit, daß wir Angesichts täglicher, in unser Leben tief einschneidender Verbesserungen und Umwandlungen was rückhaltlos dem Glauben an den Fortschritt der Menschheit hingeben. Wer vermöchte zu leugnen, daß dieser Glaube eine Macht in der heutigen Gesellschaft ist, daß er den Trägen anspornt, den Ehrgeizigen reizt, den Zweifelnden Vertrauen läßt und den schlummernden Trieb des Vorwärtsschreitens in minder thatkräftigen Naturen zur Thätigkeit aufreibt? Aber dieser an sich wohltuende Glaube wird zum verderblichen Wahn, wenn er die Gesamtheit der menschlichen Lebensverhältnisse, ohne nähere Unterscheidung naturwissenschaftlicher und sittlicher Verhältnisse, ergreift.\n\nEs giebt in der Gegenwart einen Culturwahn, der auf die Nachtseiten unseres Zeitalters hochmüthig herabblickt. Er meint, daß nach dem Gesetze des Fortschreitens Alles von selbst besser werden müsse, daß es keiner menschlichen Anstrengung bedürfe, um die unser sittliches Dasein bedrohenden Gefahren zu beseitigen. Diesem Glauben an die Vortrefflichkeit der Dinge entstammt die träge Macht des bequemen Scharrens, der unthätigen Meidgültigkeit, einer oft erschreckenden Schamlosigkeit, aus welcher dann die größten Nichtswürdigkeiten die Bedingungen ihres Daseins und Fortwucherns entnehmen.\n\nEs ist Culturwahn, zu glauben, daß die Freiheit der Menschen von selbst komme. Freilich schießen die Mehren der Saatfelder anfangs höher empor, als die Blüthen des Unkrautes. Was würde man aber von dem Landmann sagen, der da meint, daß Unkraut werde sich selbst ausrotten, wenn man nur den Weizen ungehindert emporwachsen lasse? Aus dem sittlichen Culturwahn der Gegenwart und seinen Uebertreibungen entspringt die Gleichgültigkeit, mit welcher die heutige Welt den Rückfällen in die Barbarei zuschaut.\n\nSolche Rückfälle ereignen sich gleichwohl täglich, trotz aller naturwissenschaftlichen Fortschritte. Die Epoche der Religionswirren, des Glaubenshasses, der Verfolgungssucht, die wir für immer beseitigt wähnten, erneuert sich vor unsern Augen. Eigenthum und Familie, die wir als gesicherte Güter unserer Vergangenheit betrachteten, werden von der durch Gemeinlust aufgehetzten Menge von nun an in Frage gestellt. Und umgekehrt, die Heiligkeit der menschlichen Arbeit verfällt der Verachtung derer, welche glauben, durch Börsenspiel im Umsehen reich werden zu können.\n\nMeinten wir nicht, der Sclaverei sei mit dem Siege der nordamerikanischen Union endlich ihre Grabesstätte bereitet worden? Kaum verschwindet an den Gestaden des atlantischen Oceans der Negerhandel, da verpestet die Ufer des stillen Meeres der nichtswürdigste Menschenschacher. Wir sind Zeugen eines Rückfalles in die Sclaverei, deren Opfer der asiatische Kuli ist.\n\nFragt euren Nachbar, ob er etwas von den Kulis gehört habe, ob ihn ihr Schicksal bekümmere? Ich wette darauf, daß Jeder, der eine Zeitung liest, irgendwo einmal auf den Kuli gestoßen sein muß. Ebenso sicher bin ich, daß die meisten der Zeitungsleser sich dabei keinen Augenblick des Nachdenkens gönnen, sondern auf ihrer Wanderung durch die Zeitungsspalten sich gleich den Reisenden, der auf dem Zuge durch unfruchtbare Gegenden fliegt, in eine andere Spalte werfen, ohne nach dem Namen der Station zu fragen, an welcher sie einige Minuten halten.\n\nDie Wenigsten achten es der Mühe werth, zu fragen, welche Bewandtniß es mit den Kulis habe. Es geht sie nichts an, so meinen sie. Ich deute aber, daß es hohe Zeit ist, sich mit dem Kuli zu beschäftigen, denn sein Schicksal belehrt auch uns über die uns bedrohenden Gefahren jenes giftigen Unkrautes, das wir Culturwahn genannt haben.\n\nZuvörderst also: der Kuli ist eine Menschengestalt, welche als Waare verhandelt wird.\n\n| Ziel der Verschiffung | Gegenleistung |\n| --- | --- |\n| nach den amerikanischen Arbeitsmärkten | Verpflichtung, acht Jahre lang gegen geringen Lohn (monatlich nicht ganz sechs Thaler) zu arbeiten, Ueberlassung der Auswanderer nach der Ankunft in Amerika an den Meistbietenden |\n\nMit anderen Worten: Der Auswanderer verpflichtet sich nicht einem bestimmten Herrn und Arbeitsgeber, sondern degradirt sich selbst zu allen Formen eines Vertrages zu einer Sache, die auf den Markt gebracht und etwa wie ein Ballen Kinderhäute je nach der Conjunctur theurer oder billiger öffentlich versteigert wird.\n\nDas schlimmste Schicksal traf diejenigen, welche auf den peruanischen Chincha-Inseln mit der Gewinnung des Guano zu Tode gepeinigt wurden. Auch das Wort Guano mahnt uns an gewisse Formen des Culturwahns. Bildet man sich nicht ein, daß vor hundert Jahren die Folter unter christlichen Nationen abgeschafft wurde? Freilich wohl dem Namen nach gegen verstockte Diebe und Gauner. Was aber in der Republik Peru \"freigeworbene\" Kulis auf den Guano-Inseln auszustehen haben, würde Dante, hätte er dergleichen gekannt, für seine Schilderungen der Hölle verwerthet haben.\n\nBeneidenswerth in Verhältniß zu den Qualen dieser Chinesen war das Schicksal Derer, welche etwa vor hundert Jahren in einsamen Folterkammern die Daumschrauben und spanischen Stiefel oder den gespickten Hafen und ähnliche Marterwerkzeuge kennen lernten. Bereits 1860 rechnete man, daß von viertausend auf den Guano-Inseln gelandeten Arbeitern nicht ein einziger am Leben geblieben war.\n\nJe weniger das Schicksal chinesischer Auswanderer in der Gegenwart verborgen bleibt, je weniger es zur Nachahmung im Reiche der Mitte ernöthigen konnte, desto planmäßiger mußten die Mittel des Menschenfanges in Macao ausgebildet werden. Der Reihe nach entstanden jene zahlreichen Barratuns oder Sclavendepôts, in denen die chinesischen Kulis in der Zwischenzeit zwischen ihrer Anwerbung und ihrer Einschiffung wie in einer Vorrathskammer aufgespeichert wurden.\n\nSobald der Mann das sorgfältig bewachte und vergitterte Eingangsthor passirt hat, öffnet es sich nur noch einmal für ihn, wenn er an Bord des Schiffes in die Heerde seiner Leidensgefährten getrieben wird.\n\nNach allen Regeln anderer Arbeitstheilung betrieben, zerfällt der Kulihandel in mehrere eng ineinander greifende Geschäftszweige. Der erste in der Reihe der Banner ist der chinesische Auswanderungsagent, welcher seine Kopfgelder für jedes Stück empfängt. Unter ihm arbeiten, von ihm angewiesen und angelernt, Menschen, die man das Gesindel der chinesischen Betrüger nennen kann.\n\nSie benußen in öffentlichen Localen die Leichtsinnigkeit des verzweifelnden Glücksspielers, den sie zur Rettung des Verlorenen anspornen, seinen Leib gegen eine Summe Geldes anzuspielen. Der Leichtsinnige, der von ihnen zur Ausschweifung und zum Trunke verlockt wurde, bezahlt die Schulden einer einzigen Nacht mit der Unterschrift, die ihm seine Freiheit, sein Leben kosten wird.\n\nNichts ahnende Handwerker oder Bauern werden unter betrügerischen Vorspiegelungen eingefangen, öfter auch durch unternehmende Seeräuberzüge geraubt und fortgeschleppt. Niemand in den südchinesischen Küstengegenden ist gegen solche Gewaltthat geschützt. Selbst der Verrath spielt seine Rolle, indem er persönliche Feinde dem Menschenhändler überliefert.\n\nAus diesen Frevelthaten, obwohl in jenem Himmelsstriche weltbekannt, geschehen in den täuschenden Formen des Rechts. Chinesische Mandarinen beziehen ihre Procente und der portugiesische Procurator, der in Macao die Auswanderungsschiffe mustert, findet bei seinen Revisionen Alles vorschriftsmäßig.\n\nDie Gesammtkosten für Anwerbung und Transportirung eines Kuli nach Westindien verziffern sich auf etwa dreihundertundfünfzig Thaler. Stimmt man, wie Sachverständige rechnen, den Reinertrag des Geschäfts für jeden Kuli auf einhundert Procent des Capitals an, so wird man anerkennen: diese Speculanten in Macao und Canton haben allen Anspruch darauf, Gründer eines Vermögens genannt zu werden.\n\nDen Portugiesen gesellten sich alsbald, durch so große Erträgnisse angelockt, andere Nationalitäten zu. Die englisch-französischen Verträge von 1860 stipuliren von China die Freiheit der Auswanderung. Seit jener Zeit ist ein englisches und ein französisches Auswanderungsbureau in Canton eröffnet worden.\n\nDas Aufkommen des Kulihandels steht mit der Abschaffung der Negersclaverei in einem unleugbaren Zusammenhange. Sobald die afrikanische Bezugsquelle spärlicher floß, wendete der Scharfblick des menschlichen Eigennutzes sich andern Himmelsstrichen zu.\n\nSpanische Ansiedler des sechszehnten Jahrhunderts waren die ersten, welche Negersclaven nach ihren indischen Besitzungen brachten. Republikanische Abkömmlinge dieser Spanier in Peru waren auch die ersten, welche Kulis (das heißt Handarbeiter niederen Ranges) nach dem östlichen Gestade des stillen Oceans schleppten.\n\nAeußerlich wirkten hierbei zwei Thatsachen zusammen: die im Anfange des vierten Jahrzehntes dieses Jahrhunderts erfolgte Freigebung der bis dahin gehemmten chinesischen Auswanderung und die Abschaffung der Negersclaverei in Peru unter Castilla's Präsidentschaft.\n\nAllmählich verbreitete sich, einer Seuche gleich, das von Peru gegebene Beispiel über andere tropische und subtropische Länder, insbesondere die Antillen, Centralamerika, Guyana, Australien. Unter dem Namen der Auswanderung chinesischer Arbeiter auf Grund von Passagavor-Schuß und Dienstvertrag bildete sich nach und nach ein in allen Einzelheiten sorgfältig ausgebildetes System des Menschenfanges, bei welchem alle Erfahrungen der geschicktesten kaufmännischen Technik und des Rhedergewerbes mit Betrug, Hinterlist, Gewaltthätigkeit, Raub und Mord so innig zusammengewoben sind, daß die Opfer der Gewinnsucht gleichsam in den Schlingen der Gesetzesparagraphen selbst erdrosselt werden.\n\nDas Verfahren in der Hauptsache ist bekannt. Der wichtigste Stapelplatz für den Handel in frischem Menschenfleische ist die an der Mündung des Cantonflusses gelegene altportugiesische Besitzung von Macao, der Freihafen aller denkbaren Nichtswürdigkeiten.\n\nSeit 1847, wo die ersten Auswanderungsschiffe von dort ausliefen, ist das Geschäft in fortwährendem Aufblühen zu kaum glaublicher Ausdehnung emporgeschwollen. Das alte Muster des Auswanderungscontracts war in der Kürze dieses: Freie Ueberfahrt nach den amerikanischen Arbeitsmärkten; als Gegenleistung die Verpflichtung, acht Jahre lang gegen geringen acht Thaler) zu arbeiten, Ueberlassung der Auswanderer nach der Ankunft in Amerika an den Meistbietenden.\n\nWie es den Kulis auf dem Transporte ergeht, darüber sind von Zeit zu Zeit Nachrichten in die Oeffentlichkeit gedrungen, deren Wirkung eine nachhaltige sein würde, wenn sie in gebührender Ordnung und in ihrem Zusammenhange veröffentlicht würden. Zerstreut, entgehen sie aber der nachhaltigen Aufmerksamkeit; sie verfallen dem Schicksale der Vergessenheit mit dem Verschwinden der Zeitungsnummer, die sie gebracht hatte.\n\n\"Höchst werthvolle Mittheilungen enthalten aber die englischen Parlamentsberichte, welche diesem Gegenstande gewidmet sind. Ob sie Alles sagen? - wer weiß es! Mehr als die Wiederholung solcher Schreckensberichte bedeutet vielleicht die statistische Ziffer.\n\nIn dem zwanzigjährigen Zwischenraume zwischen 1847 und 1866 sind allein nach Cuba 211 Fahrzeuge mit 85,768 Kulis verschifft worden. Verstorben unterwegs 11,209!! Wie viele später an Krankheiten und an Selbstmord in kurzer Zeit nach ihrer Ausschiffung endeten, bleibt dunkel.\n\nJedenfalls behält der Chinese nach seiner Landung kaum eine Hoffnung, seine Heimat wiederzusehen. Ein spanisches Gesetz aus dem Jahre 1860 verbot den Aufenthalt freier Chinesen auf Cuba; wer nach Ablauf seines achtjährigen Arbeitscontracts die Rückfahrt nicht zu bezahlen vermag, hat nur die eine Möglichkeit, sich wiederum für acht weitere Jahre zu verdingen, und so fort.\n\nBegreiflich ist es, daß die Chinesen in ihrer Sprache das Kulitransportgeschäft \"Schweinehandel\" nennen.\n\nDie englischen Richter in Hongkong haben zu wiederholten Malen öffentlich in ihren Urtheilen ausgesprochen, daß das Kuligeschäft seiner ganzen Natur nach nichts Anderes sein kann als Sclavenhandel und daß alle sogenannten Regulative zur Beaufsichtigung dieses Gewerbes wirkungslos bleiben.\n\nJenen Richtern gereichte es zur besonderen Ehre, in dem oft genannten ...\n\n## S. Beta\n\n12381 \n\n23 \n\nS \n\nund die jetzt brach liegende, zerstörte Insel zur neuen Blüthe der öffentlichen Meinung als das gebrandmarkt werden, was gelangen. Aber es scheint, der Spaniern ist das 2008 bestellt: | fte stnd. Quem Deus vult perdere, prius dementat, \n\nEbenso wie ihnen, dürfte es allen Romanen in Südamerika gehen. Es ist kein Gewissen mehr in dieser verthierten und täglich sich mehr verindianernden Masse, teine Rasse mehr, tein Patriotismus, kein moralischer Borjat, kein Ziel, zu dem man emporstreben könnte, tein reiner Sinn und tein Belfs geurüth, das ste stüzen könnte. Egoismus, Havgter, Aücinberech, tigungsgefühl haben sich ihnen zu tief eingeimpft. \n\nNiemand wandelt ungestraft unter Palmen, ist ein Cefstagesches Wort, aber es wird zu Schanden an der moralischen Kraft anderer Völker, sobald den Regierungen die Ansicht dämmert, daß es sich darum handelt, trotz der Rassen-Diffusion im gröberen Sinne, die Integrität der Rassen zu erhalten, die, wenn fie einander ohne moralische und gesetzgeberisch bethätigte Reserve im nackten schonungslosen Kampf um's Dasein begegnen, der Knechtschaft und der Tyrannei verfallen, und jenes alleinige Element verlieren, worin die edlen Kräfte der Menschenbrust Blüthen treiben - die Freiheit. \n\nBesonders müßten wir, um dies auf unser Thema anzuwenden, der Einwanderung nach den Vereinigten Staaten erwähnen, deren Mittelpunkt St. Francisco ist, denn diese trägt den Charakter der Freiheit und ist ein Beweis der Möglichkeit, ja der großen Zweckmäßigkeit des freien Verkehres zwischen Mongolen und Europäern, jeder in seiner Eigenart den andern ergänzend, fobald die Ordnung angebahnt, welche das Gehäuft der Eigenart bildet. \n\nNach St. Francisco betrug im Jahre 1871 die Zahl der eingewanderten Chinesen 30,000. Monatlich treffen 3–4 Dampfer ein, die immer neue Kräfte dem Westen zuführen, daß bácirs↑ der Reiz des stens in demselben Maße erweckt ist, wie früher durch die Blüthe der Südstaaten. Schwerlich aber wird es wieder einen Krieg geben, da jeder Vorwand fehlt, als welcher dort die Sklaverei so palpabel sich aufdrängte, denn, wie gesagt, die Chinesen sind hier freie Leute.\n\nSie beschäftigen sich nicht ausschließlich mit Handarbeit, obwohl sie ihre natürliche Unterordnung den Judogermanen gegenüber in dem Lande selten außer Augen ließen, so machen sie doch von dem Rechte ihrer Selbstständigkeit den fruchtbarsten Gebrauch. Sie gründen Handlungshäuser, Vereine, Genossenschaften, sogar Geheimbünde, sog. \"Hoey's\", die sich gegenseitig besetzen, oft blutig und ohne Rücksicht auf ihre Umgebung, aber auch gegenseitig zum wirthschaftlichen Wetteifer anspornen, und werden, wenn sie erst mit Frauen versehen sein werden und Familien zu bilden vermögen, ganz unzweifelhaft zu den schätzenswerthesten Bürgern des Landes zu zählen sein, schätzenswerther bei weitem, als die Irländer und jenes kaukasische Bagabundenthum, das die Schöpfung als für ihre Kommunisten-Unverschämtheiten zum alleinigen Tummelplatz bestimmt aufsteht.\n\nDiesen Brüdern gegenüber hat der Chinese einen schweren Stand, und auch einige Kongreßpilze haben sich schon ins Mittel gelegt, um diesen stimmführenden Patrioten Konzessionen zu machen, aber der zähe, stets schaffende Chinese läßt sich nicht beirren. Er weiß, daß Fleiß der beste Gottesdienst ist in jedem Lande, und unter jeder guten Regierung den verdienten Lohn, die verdiente Beförderung genießen wird, so lange noch Maßßung, Schwindel und privilegirter Raub vor...\n\nOhne ihre Chinesen hätten die Weststaaten - unter denen sich Texas mit neuen Kriminalgesetzen freilich auch nach peruanisch-cubanischem Muster einrichten zu wollen scheint - noch keine Eisenbahnen und keine Fabriken. Es arbeiten z.B. in St. Francisco allein 20,000 Chinesen in Tabakfabriken.\n\nBei alledem ist der Zustand an bedaueru, daß in Folge der Gehässigkeit der amerikanisch-kaukasischen Concurrenten nur wenige dieser Arbeitsblenen im Korbe bleiben, sondern mit ihrem Honig eventuell das Weite suchen. Wird erst für die flotte Einwanderung von Frauen gesorgt, so wird sich dies wohl ändern.\n\nJedenfalls sind die Mängel, die wir im Norden zu beobachten Gelegenheit haben, bei einer organisirten Einwanderung nach Brasilien, wie sie der Kaiser ins Auge gefaßt haben soll, zu vermeiden. Es sollte dieser Punkt bei einer internationalen Vereinbarung, wie sie in Folge des Abusus der Kontraktfreiheit nothwendig angestrebt werden muß, sofort mit in Erwägung gezogen und eine Auswanderungs-, Unstedlungs- und Rassengesetzgebung baldmöglichst erstrebt werden.\n\nDie Deutschen, welche, wie gesagt, noch in nähere Berührung mit den Ostasiaten durch die Kolonisationsgebiete, die sich ihnen wie ihnen in Süd-Amerika eröffnen, kommen könnten, hätten allerlei Grund, dieser Tendenz einen kräftigen Impuls zu geben, schon allein, um sich die Sympathien der Ostasiaten zu erwerben, die, wenn wir sie besitzen, und so leicht nicht verloren gehen können.\n\nAls gewichtige Landmacht in Europa kann Deutschland sehr wohl seinen Einfluß in der ihm natürlichen Richtung internationaler Billigkeit ausüben.\n\nSchon hat China selbst einige Schritte gethan, gedrängt durch die Klagen seiner Söhne im Auslande; die europäischen Regierungen sind gebeten worden, den Kulihandel auf ihren Schiffen nicht zu gestatten und womöglich um Aufhebung jenes Seelenverkäufernestes Macao, das seiner eigenen Regierung nicht mehr gehorcht, sich zu entschließen.\n\nEbenso hat Japan, obwohl mit China sich nicht identifizirend, sich gedrängt gefühlt, sein Veto mit einem fait accompli zu erheben. England, durch seinen Konsul, trat ihm energisch bei, ebenso wie es in den Augen der Chinesen als ein wahrer Schutzpatron dasteht.\n\nDeutschland dagegen - wie erblickt man dieses Reich der Mitte von Europa? Seine Söhne sitzen in Macao als Rheder, ja, als Konsuln, seine Schiffe nehmen die entsetzlich gequälte Ladung auf, seine Matrosen schießen in die lebendigen Fleischmassen hinein und peitschen sie 1007 Mann hinter einander, 3 Tage lang, blutrünstig; in Peru, in Hamburg sind es Deutsche, die mit diesem Handel schwarz sind, ja, als endlich eine Gelegenheit kam, offiziell wenigstens eine Mißbilligung und Verantwortungs-losigkeit diesem Massenmord gegenüber zu dokumentiren, da erklärt der deutsche Konsul in Yokohama sich, im Gegentheil, gegen das gerechte und trotz der größten Provokation milde Verfahren der japanischen Behörden gegen das peruanische Schiff \"Maria Luz\".\n\nWo also erblickt man Deutschland? Auf Seiten ihrer Feinde! Mit den Portugiesen und Peruanern in einer Reihe! Es ist Zeit, hohe Zeit, den Folgen dieser offiziellen Entstellung unseres nationalen Gewissens und Herabsetzung unserer Würde, die sich weder vor Peru, noch vor Portugal in den Staub beugt, schleunigst zuvorzukommen.\n\nS.

        "content_text": "4- \n\n4. The uncertain situation in Canton caused anxiety in the Colony early in the year. For a time there was some possibility of a recurrence of the strike and boycott of 1925, but by the proscription of the Seamen's Union and by the prevention of seditious meetings this danger was averted. A more settled Government in Canton led to a gradual improvement in its relations with this Colony. There was however a continual influx of refugees and other persons into the Colony, and the disbanding in Canton of the Hong Kong strikers caused many bad characters to make their way to Hong Kong. A series of armed robberies occurred during the autumn, culminating in December in a street battle between the police and a gang of armed robbers, in which two Chinese constables were shot and three robbers either killed or wounded.\n\n5. On August 20th, the Colony was visited by a severe typhoon, which lasted for the unusually long period of 12 hours. Much damage was caused on shore, especially in the Peak district, where one block of flats collapsed and a number of flats and houses were severely damaged. The P. & O. steamer \"Rawalpindi\" dragged her moorings, and for a time was in danger of being dashed on the Praya Wall. This catastrophe was happily averted.\n\n6. The honours conferred on residents of Hong Kong by H.M. the King during the year included the appointment of Sir Joseph Kemp as Knight Bachelor and of Mr. W. T. Southorn and Dr. R. H. Kotewall as Companions of the Order of St. Michael and St. George. Among the visitors to the Colony during the year mention should be made of the Bishop of London, who was present at the New Year and whose addresses were received with much enthusiasm by the local religious community. In September the two American aviators Messrs. Brock and Schee and their aeroplane \"Pride of Detroit\" visited Hong Kong and made a short stay on their flight round the world.\n\nII. Finance.\n\nThe total revenue of the year amounted to $21,344,536 which sum exceeded the estimate by $337,189, and the revenue for 1926 by $212,954. This increase was chiefly under the headings Licences and Internal Revenue and it more than set off the deficit in stamp and liquor duties and in the revenue from land sales. A noteworthy item was the increase of $107,184 in the passenger service (foreign line) of the Kowloon-Canton Railway due to the reopening of through traffic with Canton. This increase more than counterbalances the decrease in passenger receipts on the home line. Two unusual items contributed to the excess of revenue over expenditure. The first was the transfer of accumulated interest to the amount of $146,450 on the money deposited in London towards the cost of the Singapore base. The second was the transfer to revenue of the surplus of the local War Loan Sinking Fund amounting to $158,134 following on the repayment of the loan at the end of the year.\n\n5\n\n2. The expenditure for the year amounted to $20,845,065 which was less than estimated by $1,469,637 and less than expenditure in 1926 by $2,679,651. The principal item on which savings were effected was Public Works Extraordinary. Owing to the general policy of retrenchment and to lapsing salaries in the Public Works Department it was found possible to effect a saving under these two headings, of over $900,000. A very substantial saving was effected by the repayment of the Local War Loan and the consequent saving of interest and Sinking Fund charges.\n\n3. The following is a statement of Revenue and Expenditure for the last five years:-\n\n  \n    Year\n    Revenue\n    Expenditure\n  \n  \n    1923\n    $24,783,673\n    $21,571,905\n  \n  \n    1924\n    24,209,640\n    26,726,428\n  \n  \n    1925\n    23,244,365\n    28,266,817\n  \n  \n    1926\n    21,181,582\n    23,524,716\n  \n  \n    1927\n    21,344,536\n    20,845,065\n  \n\n4. Public Debt.-The local 6% War Loan of $3,000,000, due for repayment in November, 1928, was fully repaid during the year and the surplus in the Sinking Fund of $158,134 was transferred to revenue. In November the new 6% Public Works Loan at par was issued. $3,000,000 worth of bonds were allotted, but the applications actually received from the public amounted to nearly four times that sum. The inscribed Stock Loans of 1893 and 1906 due for repayment in 1943 amounted to £1,485,773 and the Sinking Fund at the end of the year was £587,205.\n\n5. The Trade Loan.-This loan which was issued in 1926 to assist local merchants and others during the exceptional difficulties following on the strike and boycott was allocated to the extent of $15,624,588 representing a total of 278 loans. All loans were limited to a period of two years and although many of them were due for repayment at the end of last year it was considered that the financial situation had not sufficiently improved to justify their being called in. The position on 31st December, 1927 was that 164 loans, representing a total of $8,102,895, or rather more than half the total, were outstanding.\n\n13\n\nPage 10\n\nPage 11",
