CHINESE OPPOSITION The Hon. Mr. T. N. Chau, Senior Chinese Member, gave voice to strong objections from the Chinese community.

Mr. Chau outlined in detail the reasons on which he based his ob- jections, and said that the oppost- tion arose mainly from the firm conviction that the disturbing effect of its introduction and the confusion attendant on its ad- ministration would. by doing in- calculable harm to business in- terests, defeat the object, which it was obviously the desire of the

"The fortuitous increases in the Colony's revenue serve but to cloak the unsatisfactory position of the Colony's economy" said the Hon. Mr. M. K. Lo.
The flight to Hongkong of "refugee" capital, he said, was no doubt due to Hongkong being "a free port, without income tax and without excessive taxation."
