Trade Commission's Report

Below we give another chapter from the report of the Com- mission, appointed by His Excellency the Governor, Sir William Feel, K.O.M.G., K.B.K to enquire "into the causes and effects of the present trade depression in Hong Kong and make recom- mendations for the amelioration of the existing position and for the improvement of the trade of the Colony.”

The pupils of the Central Bri- tish School gave a splèndid Gym- nastic Display yesterday in the presence of a large gathering...

The display was divided into two distinct sections one given' by boys and another by girla. The boys commenced with the march-in which was performed in and promotion of amenities for the perfect order, and this was follow- visitor and for the issue of suitable led with various tableaux, finclud- propaganda calculated to attracting the Lily Tableaux.

To those residing for any length of time in the Colony there are, of course, many outdoor attractions such

as riding, Fachting, golf, tennis, cricket, football bowls and bathing. There are also a number of social institutions to which the resident may belong..

Most of these amenities are, however, not available for the visitor whose stay is too short for the formal ties attendant on joining dubs and other institutions but who requires a variety of distractions which to- gether go to the making up of what is usually known as a "good time."

"..

While it is plain that no sudden transformation of Hong Kong to a paradise for holiday makers can be made, without the expenditure of considerable sums of money, we feel it necessary to initiate the idea that there is no reason what- ever why gradual planning should not make Hong Kong more tractive. We are also of the opinion that there should be or- ganised advertisement of the at- tractions of the Colony and some endeavour to open to visitra (with proper safeguarda) many of the means of recreation at present closed to them,

After hearing important evi- dence relating to this question and having discussed the matter our- selves we decided to address an interim report to the Government as follows:
