This is as true of Kowloon well-known to so many of us who and Hong Kong as it is of any live in the East: other part of the British Empire. Those Chinese who have found protection for life and property on the Mainland or on the Island will be the first to agree that Hong Kong is the only place in the whole of China where they can be assured that they will not be robbed, kid- napped or murdered by outlaws. There is no irresponsible taxation Javied on every conceivable item a system which has done great harm to comercial health of Canton and the Government tax on property is so low that it would be difficult to find an equal to it anywhere else in the world.
