We find in 7 Timur. of Ceylon this reference to Hongkong and Blugapore opinion on the questies of the Crown Agents ---

Hoogkong refuses to join hands with the Ceylon Chamber of Commerce in the matter of reforming the Grown Agent system Aud under the circumstance is not easy to se what further action can be taken at present. A more remarkable letter than that from the Hongkong Chamber of Commerce we have rarely seen, and the entire absence of supporting facts or arguments randers it impervious to attack. Hongkong, because wo are bound to believe that the Chamber of Commerce reflects the general view of the business community, is satisfied with the Crown Agent system, which will probably give
