HONG KONG HONOURED Empire Should Hello & Goodbye

A

HONG KONG, SEPTEMBER, 4th 1938. LTHOUGH It was of a burely unofficial nature, the visit during the week to the Colony of His Excellency the Governor of Kwangtung. General Wu. Te-chen, must be recorded as a most important event, as it served as a further proof of the strong ties of friendship between Hong Kong and Canton, and the community as a whole must feel deeply grateful to General Wu for finding time enough to make the visit when Canton is undergoing so much trial and tribulation as at the present time.

The distinguished visitor: during his stay here, called on His Excellency the Governor, Sir Geoffry Northcote, and he also met leaders of the community in the course of the many functions that were given in his honour, On Friday General Wu Te-chen was host at tea-party at the Hong Kong Hotel and it was at this function that he predicted a change in the situation both in Hong Kong and Kwangtung following the cessation of the Sino-Japanese war.

With his customary foresight. General Wu locked into the future end said that the first sign of better times would be the period of rehabilitation which would greatly stimulate trade and commerce. In this connection it seems but natural that the materials required for this gigantic undertaking must be ordered from Great Britain, not so much out of friendship as from the paint that past experience has proved the superiority of British manufactures, especially insofar as machinery is concerned, over all others.

In a lengthy speech General Wu gave the reasons why he felt so optimisite regarding the future and those who have closely followed the trend of the war, agreed with him in his optimism..

Reports received from reliable sources in Japan indicate that all is not well in the erstwhile Land of the Rising Sun. We say erstwhile after mature thought for it appears now that Japan is more the Land of the Setting Sun. But to return to the conditions in the country. money is scarce and the collection of war materiais that was hoarded up long before the hostilities started has been used up and is now reduced to almost nothing. The man power of the country has greatly deteriorated and in a word Japan is on the verge of economic bankruptcy a pleasant prospect, indeed, for the "mad militarists who have visions of a new Empire!

with Japan driven away from China, with all the occupled areas returned to the rightful owners, there
