emoluments of the Service will be forth- coming in time to benefit the present generation. We are very glad to see that there is a disposition at last on the part of the Colonial"Office" to enlist the full co-operation of the unofficial communities, not only through the Countil Chamber but by advice and support from outside sources. The ideal, we are told, at which the Imperial authorities are aiming is to secure the participation of the people, as far as they are capable, in the govern, ment.*"

What ever may be the difficulties in giving effect to popular aspirations elsewhere, it can be safely said that the proposals submitted by the Constitutional Reform Association of Hongkong offer a simple solution of the matter in this Colony...
