ALL READING THE REPORTS which have been received will agree that an important step to- wards reducing trade barriers and contributing to world prosperity has been taken. Not only will the countries which are parties to the accords benefit, but the Empire as a whole and the world at large will gain.

The accord embraces, in addition to the United Kingdom, Newfound- land and the Colonial Empire, with whom the Home Government has kept in close contact on matters alfecting their interests through- out the negotiations. Hongkong. no less than other parts of the Empire, HONGKONG

will benent by the

agreement, although

it is nominally a free port. For instance, the existing Empire pre- ferential duty of 20 per cent. on all foreign motor cars will be re- duced to 15 per cent. The existing duty, of 20 per cent. on American cars will probably remain opera- tive until New Year's Day, on and after which date British cars will enter the Colony free of duty. American cars will be subject to a duty of 15 per cent, and all other foreign cars to a duty of 20 per cent.

יי

AT PRESENT, America is Britain's largest foreign customer and. in the reverse direction, British imports of US goods were larger than from any other country. Full details of the new accord will reach Hongkong in due course.

Now that relations between. Great Britain and the United States have thus been, strengthen- ed. Britons and Americans the world over will await with keen anticipation and gratification the forthcoming visit of the King and

Queen to Washington, in response

to an official invitation from Pre- sident Roosevelt and the American Government. That America will give their Majesties more than a cordial welcome is fully expected, and. It can be assumed beforehand that the visit will do more to cement the ties of friendship than the efforts of diplomats decades.

Police Court Hearing

Proceedings against two waemployed men, Wai Kai and Kwan Fan, both aged 26 years, were heard by Mr. E. Himsworth at the Kowloon Court yesterday, when both the accused were committed to stand trial at the next Criminal Sessions on a charge of robbery with violence.

Che Tai, 34, sewing-amah and female bath-attendant at the European Y.M.CA, accuses the two men of having, as she was sitting in a passage-way by the swimming pool, come suddenly upon her and robbed her of a gold ring, an Imitation Jade stone ring, and a wrist watch.
