The Cost of Living. Here in the Far East, the phenomenal rise in the price of rice has entailed widespread suffering among the messes and a long sustained prese polemio: on the subject of ameliorative measures. In private life direct remedias are generally more popular than indirect ones, wherever atatesman

possible; but the

to have studied political economy to such purpose that the most obvious romedy for a given evil eludes his notice. In the case of dear food, if the difficulty were in any way due to a fundamental dearth of the world's food supply, with zo prospect of expanding the same to meet the world's demand; the situation of governments would be deserving of the sincerest sympathy. But the facts are quite otherwise.

nations could be persuaded to adopt universal free trade and individuals to make the most of their natural resources, the pro blem of the cost of living would speedily solve itself.

Hongkong's Wireless Station, The announcement made by B.E. the Governor in the Legia- lative Council on Thursday on the subject of the provision of a wireless telegraph installation in Hongkong, though perhaps not as satisfactory as could be wished, is very welcome. A decision has, at last, been reached to provide in this great shipping port a means of communciating with ships at sea which it ought to have possessed long ago. More than one ontorprising firm, we believe, was prepared to

make the installation, confident

that it would prove a remunera live enterprise," but although' an Ordinance was passed in 1903: which empowered the Governor to licence the establishment and ase within the Colony of installa tions for the purpose of wireless telegraphy, the Ordinance in fact,

sion of private initiative in this mat- ter. When an application was made in 1909 for a licence the firm was officially informed that such appli cations were subject to the appro val of the Secretary of State for the Colonion. We are not inclin- ed to condemn the policy of mak- ing wireless communication a Government monopoly our com plaint is simply that the Imperial Government has kept the Colony for so many years without this important means of communica- tion, and now that a decision has beon at last reached on the sub jebt, it falls very much short of what, the local needs demand in tlie judgment of those who have considered the subject.

The "Bridgeman Incident?? To ne it seems somewhat strange that his Lordship was allowed to make his statement in such a manner; but perhaps by now special privileges are allowed to such as he. Without quoting. the statement made by Lørd Beresford (and wo refrain from doing so because further publicity would merely make the worthy Pear more ridiculous than he made himself)we would merely state that to the absurd state ments foolishly brought against | him," Mr. Churchill was able easily to refute thers. The pity is that the brilliant young First Lord took the trouble to reply rather heatedly to his op ponent. Mr. Churchill would have done better to have met Lord Beresford's bludgeon strokes with a few rapier thrusta They would have been enjoyed; besides, Lord Charles Tought not to be allowed to deceive himself that he stone affords humour to the House!
