It would seem reasonable to infer, from the modest attitude adopted by the local Government when it was invited to endorse the opinions of the Chamber of Commerce in regard to the suppression of Enemy True Marks and the exclusion of Germans after the war, that an assur- ance has been received from the Imperial Authorities that the idea of compulsory life-long military service in Hongkong meets with their approval. Yet, after pointing out the duty of the nation in this time of crisis, the Prime Minister declared recently at Dundee that we are entitled to ask from the Government nt least three things-that its commands and restrictions and limitations shall have a genuine war purpose; that they shall not be imposed merely for ulterior purposes associated with some theory of conception of the way in which the world ought to be run under normal conditions; and that the measures muat he war

Sat,When those dear Buns return to the Colony after the War shall we not leak rather foolish if they ask us why we fought then? Perhaps the Govern ment kere will tell us what we and our gallant, Allies are fighting for.

And," added the Premier, "in war measures I include demobilisa tion after the war, because I consider that an essential part of the war purpose, Similar views were expressed, with much greater emphasis, at about the santé time by Lord HARCOURT, who was Secretary of State for the Colonies until a year or two ago. After ridiculing the idea that a republican form of government was necessary for the United Kingdom, he said there was, however, a povodution j which might be necessary a revolution to secure the immediate resumption and re-establishment in peace of personal free. dom. When the war was over we wanted without a moment's delay, recovery of our personal freedom, We accepted to-day the appointments of herds of controllers and directors, who sometimes controlled and at other times misdirected. Our rulers should realise that our presen! method of government would not be tolerated for a single day after the attainment of penov.
