The moment appears to my Committee to be peculiarly favourable for the negotiation of such a demand. The Chinese Government bave proved their incapacity to uphold the neatrally of any portion of the territory, and it is there fate imperative that any Chiness territory com- manding the approaches to the barbour of Hongkong should be placed in British hands.
This Chamber can fally endorse all that has been advanced in favour of the extension of the boundaries of the colony by the China Associa ton, the Navy League, and various officials, civil, naval, and military. It is of vital impor tance to the residents of all nationalities here engaged in commerce that that commerce should he secure from molestallon, and that the docks, backs, factories, and godowns in which they hold farge interests should not be at the mercy of a bombarding force. Where there is vast capital invested, the first element deiled is seenly from loss through sudden attack by an outside fae, and while there is good reason to hope for the continued preservation of peace, It would be more sallafactory to be assured that the wealth created here by commercial enter crise is not exposed to needless and avaldable dabest.
My Committee, moreover, desire to polat aut that the rapid growth of Se population in the par', and the tendency to still farther increase in the fata e renders some addition to the ares ander British occupation most deska- ble not absolutely necessary, both for the establishment of ladastefs and for the rection of dwelling houses with due regard to Sanitation. The wales supply, excellent as it is for existing requirements, cannot be greally ncreased an iba irland, as most of the principal *'reams and collectlog areas have already been laid under contribution, and the bulk of the fresh water obtainable has been impounded. Nor is it advisable that so large a city Victoria should be entirely dependent on pulside canices for every evicta ¿f food, when by the acquisling of the proposed strip el territory at the back of the Kowloon peninsula land for the production of vegetables and the rearing of cattle would be provided.
