15.- he Scandal of the Lorcha
Arrow
May 19, 1959. The Register has thought proper to review the remarks we made upon the orcha, Arrow in such characteristic strain as to render it impossible for us to fathom him. His printer may have left a para graph out-very likely-but that is not our fault-as his remarks now stand they ara perfect nonsense. The Governor of Macao was of course, not aware of the Arrow'a piration! dealings as they occurred. He became aware of them just before she slipped through his figures and proceeded to Canton. Thy Register says Let us disjune of the up frat This he does by argning that because II. E. Gover- nor Guimaraens is a Post Captain in the Navy, he should have seized the pirato wherever he might have found her. His Excellencey did sprend his net for her but the wary fish turned and went the other way. Having thas disposed of the gun, he proceeds to the law of the ease. This is a repetition of the idea that floors the gup. We are told that every customhouse clerk in England is well aware that a ship is a piece of the nation to which she belongs, but that her flag will not protect her from the conse quences of ILM) act of pirney. Really it seems to us that our con- temporary is giving us hints to support our case-it, so we beg he will only wink without committing such heinous distortion on his visage. By the Register's own showing. the flag which the Arrow bad no right to fly, did constitute a protection from piratical acts. Nay further the alleged insult to that flag was made the pretext for demanding and obtaining the liberation of the crew after they had actually confessed their guilt Faith and alas but Governor Gui- maracus know what he was about.

PROPOSED LEGISLATION
CRITICISED
The Governments proposed bill imposing third party insurance on motorists likely to meet with some resistance if it comes up for consideration of the Legislative Council in the autumn.
The general view is that tho proposed liability of $100,000 for public service vehicles and $50,000 for other vehicles is far too high, and also that a proposed deposit of 150,000 from the insurance com. panics is excessive.
According to the Secretary of the committee of Insurance company agents Home companies have not had happy experience of third party insurance since it was made law two years ago, "and we want to wait a while and see how they get on. The question of premium has not been touched upon yet and everything depends on what the Government says to the Chambér of Commerce. If the Government force the issue and could not agree with us about the premium we should have to drop the whole business. We are agents to the Home companies and have to be guided by them."
Some of the points on which the local insurance companies desire
information and have made críti
cisms are as follow:
