I do not see how local interests here can expect to obtain anything by raising the question again, or by sending in appeals. It looks rather as if they want to get something for nothing. Surely the Military authorities are to be commended if they deal in a business like manner with the lands which they have always held, long before the merchant ever thought of deve- loping a Peak Tram or even a business area In that quarter. If the military authorities did not do so the British taxpayer, who pays much more heavily than the tax- payer in the colony, would be the first person entitled to ask quer- tions. These lands' belong to the taxpayers, who have paid for the f armed forces. The contribution that Hongkong has paid for de- fence is not by any means large for the benefits that mer- chants have for years enjoyed.
