But to delve a little into the history of the game, the first golf match in Hong Kong took place sometime in 1868 when the late Sir Gershom Stewart and Capt. Mar- ray Rumsey, the then Harbour Master, had a "friendly" match on the Race Course at Happy Valley. It was a rather poor apology for a golf course as there were no holes on greens while granite setts served to mark the distances, and

In 1919 more land was acquired and a further nine holes ware laid out, making with the above nine. holes, what was then termed the "New Course." In 1929. further land was acquired with the inten tion of lengthening the second nine holes of the New Course, but in: 1929 this idea was abandoned. Instead, in 1839, further land was acquired and nine new holes were. made and inserted between the se cond and third holes of the New Course.

Dr. Yen, in reply, said that the significance of the Manchurian conflict was to be found in nothing mote nor less than the upsetting of the balance of power in the Far East and the Pacific, He did not mean to say that when a balance of power was once established it was never to be changed. Nations
