Throughout their history the Dock Company have bullt internationally, which I think is as it should be. For when Hongkong was taken over by Britain, the Proclamation read. out at the time announced that there would be equal op- ... portunity for all nations to trade. The Colony has faith- fully lived up to this promise She is stil one of the few cases of free trade in a world- wide desert of nationalist pro- tection, and while of course we like to think that her suo- cess is mainly due to British and Chinese enterprise, we could not have prospered as well as we have for close on 100 years had not "equality of opportunity for all" been our- constant watchword.

INTERNATIONAL POLICY

Jessen concluded, “I will now ask you to drink to the prosperity of the Hongkong and Whampao Dock Company."

MR E COCK

In a few appropriate, words- Mr. B. Cock thanked Mr. Jessen for proposing the toast to the Dock Company, and wishing Mrs. Jessen health and happiness, handed her a memento of the oc casion.
