New Working Agreement

The feature of the Kowloon-Canton Railway agreement which was signed simultaneously in English and Chinese by His Excellency the Governor of Hong Kong and the Minister of Ball- ways at Nanking, on September 15. is the fact that whereas me- cording to the old agreement the Chinese Section received from the British Section 65 per cent of the Terminal Through Traffic receipts in Hong Kong currency in respect of up traffic, they now receive ît per cent of the receipts under the Hew agreement."

Similarly, the British Section's share of 35 per cent, of the receipts in respect of down traffic has been reduced to 28 per · cent.

Part of the text of the new agreement is given below. The. remainder will be published on Monday)-----

This Agreement is made by and between the Ministry of Rallways of the National Government of the Republic of China, of the one part and the Government of the British Colony of Hong Kong (hereinafter called the Hong Kong Government”) of the other part.

Reverting to the "race meetings these functions are about the most popular in Hong Kong's diary of sporting events. We contend that they can be made just as success- ful as social events though in con- nection with this the co-operation of the general public with the Hong Kong Jockey Club is essen- ttal. It has been suggested before that the Jockey Club might hold dinner dances after race meetings, and though the proposal has everything to recommend it, the project was never given a trial. The members' dining room can be converted into an excellent dance hall, and so far as accomodation is concerned, there need be no fear for there is enough room to cater for a very large crowd. The law713 in front of the grandstands can be converted into so many differ ent things and the military bands

The resolution calls upon the Kwangtung Provincial Govern ment to engage Chinese and for- eign experts to form an Africul- tural Economic Revival Committee which will devise specific measures for the betterment of farming.
