Yet I noticed in a local paper recently that a correspondent's appeal to the Editor to say whether we did not have too faw holidays in Hougkong was met by n stora negative. From an ditor, of all men, this we are. But I am given to understand that Editors have so much grown to like constant work that they expect other and non-editorial teu to do the same.
