Francis, QC, that the Commillee should place itself in communication with the Commities to be formed for the celebration of Her Majesty's 60th year of reigning and iorito them to consider the advisability of derating -part of 'way funds they ralied to the Famine Relief Food, was, when put to the meeting negaliyed. As it appears that the majority of the Community of Hongkang am sverse in the | celebration taking the form of a contribution to the fund for the relief of the starring millions of India (than which no better form of celebra- tion could be found), the time has now arrived when the nature of the celebration or memorial will have to be decided upon.

The memorial of this aspicious occasion should be a lasting one, and calculated to be of one to the residents of Hongkong and not merely ornamental.
