Sir Charles Addis, K.C.M.G., chairman of the London Committee of the Hong Kong and Shanghai Banking Corporation, presided, and in introducing the speaker re- ferred to the geographical and political importance of Hong Kong And the great part it played in education. Mr. Cassidy, in reply, spoke of the great work the Hong Kong and Shanghai Bank, with which he himself was formerly con- pected, had done towards the build- ing up of Hong Kong, Mr. Cassidy then proceeded to read his paper.

The paper in question has already been published in extenso in our column.

At the close, questions were in- vited. One member of the audience asked if there were opportunities for South China for commercial motor vehicles to which Mr. Cassidy replied that there were, and that British manufacturers were inquiring into it very closely.
