GERMAN VISITOR'S VIEW OF
HONG KONG
SOCIAL SECURITY
When Robert Burns craved that; power would be granted for peo- ple to see themselves as others saw them, he was, as ever, emphasis- ing a great human need.
It is therefore, of more than passing, interest at this -present period of international instability and national irritability, to hear what a visiting business executive from a foreign land. has to say about the Colony.
The visitor is Mr. H.W, Neld- hardt, and he is on an Eastern tour representing the German machinery manufacturing firm of Steinmuller and Company. This firm specialises in bollers, and Mr. Neidhardt has been in Canton superintending installation work there,
FATAL ACCIDENT
Broadcasting and lecturing have also been undertaken by the newly appointed Editor of "The Hong Kong Daily Press" with conspicuous success.
Mr. Pratt's journalistic policy can best be epitomised in the fol- lowing words:-"Be fair, accurate, courteous and vigorous."-
ISLAMIC UNION
