Its record is one long series of ups and downs, with vicissitudes that threatened the existence of the industry, until the tlemands for cement for road construction, large waterworks and building in Hong Kong and the interior of China justified the scrap ping of the old plant and the sub stitution of a modern plaat, of British manufacture, which is now functioning to the benefit of the Shanghai.

It is the samo old story. Every Crown Colony which has a railway: has t similar tale to tell; and in Sir Frank Swettenham's book on "British Malaya" the public is interestingly told how it happens.

The Colonial Secretary informed the Hon. Mr. Osborne that the Governor, controls the expenditure, It would be interesting to hear from the Governor on that point. Sir Fank Swettenham, with experi- ence as a Colonial Governor, writ-

One further extract: the construction engineer is serving his Colonial Government, it is difficult to interfere with him; and as the Colony has no concern with the railway, until it is finished and handed over, it is no one's business to criticise-It might almost be added that, unless a man believe in the system faithfully he cannot be 'saved."

Further discussion of our own narticular question should prove ex tremely interesting.-Yours truly,
