The House of Representatives has just discussed the question of payment of members, and agreed to the mere reasonable sus of to that has to be $3,600 per annum, though added an

The new Premier, Hsiung Hsi-ling, has announced that he will endeavour to carry out a policy of economic develop ment, whatever that many nean. "As poverty is the root of all evils," according to him. he will endeavour to create new

oaterprises providing the people with work. This sounds all right, and if the Premier has some practical scheme for giving effect to his sentimental aspirations Chins may yot have cause to honour his name and his policy.
