WHAT A WAR WOULD MEAN TO HONG KONG

Ji

There is no place in the world that has more to lose by war, and to gain by peace, than Hong Kong, with the possible exception of Shanghai. It is, therefore, all the more regrettable that Lord Marley, * professed advocate of peace, should have discredited his cause not only by inexcusable -man- ners, but also by meeting with per- sons suspected of contact with the bandit-militarist movement called by the name of Communism in

RICE TAX TO STAND

Even Reduction Not Considered

(From Our Special Correspondent)

Canton, October 5. No reduction of the tax on im- ported rice is possible, according to a notification by the Provincial Department of Finance to the rice inerchants. At first there was an agitation to repeal the foreign rice tax, but now the merchants are unsuccessful even in asking for a reduction of this impost.
