House decidedly of opinion that the latter class of enquiries ought by no means to be neglected, and that if they are well chosen it may be expected that in the long run. they will be even more fruitful in results of practical value than enquiries of the former class. The latter class of enquiry however, demands a scientific staff with higher qualifications, and can scarcely be attacked effectually by a small Colony acting by itself. In such cases possible combination with other Colonies similarly situated should be considered.

The Chamber of Commerce Committer, appreciating the necessity. for collecting much expert evidence before an answer of any value could be returned on the subjects covered by the dispatch, suggested the appointment of a Committee of Inquiry to go thoroughly into the whole question of the development of the New Territorities, the encouragement of present lccal industries. and the
