CORRESPONDENCE,

(We do not necessarily endorse the opinioni expressad by Correspondent in this column.)

DECIMAL SYSTEM.

to THE EDITOR of the "Hongkono TalzGRAN," SIR, to August 1st it was vaguely an nounced on the authority of a cable from ustralia that the Commonwealth House of Representatives had parred resolution is favour of the Decimal System." I bave now received a fall report of the debate to which this cable referred and on perusal find that the malter is of the first importance to the move- ment in favour of the Weltic System..

This Association bat repiiosed the debate and I am therefore able to enclose to you base with a copy from which you will sen that lode- pendent action by Austrália and New Zealasd is practically assured, is the event of the Im pailal Govelament refusing, on the occasion of the conference of Colonial Premiere next year, to letroduce the Metric System into Great

Britain.

The Colonies as a whole bave consistently advocated the Metric System whenever an op porianity has been afforded, hat their attitude up to now has been one of expectancy; they hive besitated to take say decided step in the belief that it would not be many years before the Mother Country swept away its present jumble of weights and measures and replaced them by the Metric System Australia has now, however, appareily made up her mind that it is useless to wait for a lead from us, and, knowing the feelings of the other Colonies in this matter, I have little hesitation in stating that the attitude of Australia will be adopted by the representatives of the other Colonies. So recently a 1906 the Commission appointed in the Transvaal to report on the weights and mcasares of that country recrmmended the immediate introduction of the Metric System for all purposes of land inivey and chemistry. The commissioners recommended also that the Metric System should be introduced through out and expressed the bope that the British Parliament would shortly introduce legislation, One commissioner presented a minority report advocatlog action similar to that now proposed by Australia.

There is strong feeling lo our Colonies on this subject, and it appears very kely that they will rejoice in the possession of the only rational system and will have abolished what Lord Kelvia described as "cur_time-wasting and bralo-wearing weights and measures," whitet we here are still hebitating about taking she plungs. - I am, etc.,
