Hongkong Companies Ordinance? We quoted at length the other. week the remarks of the "Ohiba Press" on the matter and the "N. 0. Daily News" to hand by yeste:-. day's mail deals further with the question: From the statomsuta contained in datter we gather that it would welcome any notion of the Hongkong. Gavern-i mont, to secure grenter con- trol over the directorate of companies registered in Hong kong which are operating outside of its jurisdiction. In Hongkong or other purely British territory, Bays our contemporary, there are agencies through which the Göy- ernment might exercise at least anonlinal supervision. In Shang- hai or other ports in China there are no means of controlling the business in any way; and even the suggestion of having a local register has not materialized suf- foiently to be of any practical value. It is pointed out that the directors of the large majority of "British" companies are not all British and in cases of proved de- fault the position of British direc- tors in these companies becomes · invidious in that they have to. bear the whole brunt of the put- ishment.

India's Sympathy with Turkey. Now that the war between Turkey, and the Balkan States and Greece has been brought to an inglorious end for practically all concerned, it is not without in terest to read' what may be con- sidered to be the truth of what was at one time feared regarding thé menace of a "holy" war. Observers on the ground repart that the Turk has not regarded his present conflict with the Bal- kan states as a "holy" Otherwise, it is added, there would be no possible explanation of bis failure at arms and his apparent failure in courage and war-like zeal. But his co-religion DRESSERS.ists of India view, it differently.

The Powers, so itis held in Indin, have connived at, if not becretly abated, this harassment of the " enfeebled Turk. From the very beginning, therefore, of the

The Currency Question. We are given to understand that the Guilds are prepared to give the Government's guaran- tee or assurance that they will not import foreign coins or notes for oiroalation in the Colony, hat for the purposes of trade beyond the Colony they say that it is indispensable that foreign money Ahould be free to come to thein and that they should be allowed) to have it temporarily in their possession pending its export in payment of accounts incurred in China, and it is suggested that such money should be treated as merchandise. It seems to us im possible to deny that a little more latitude is necessary than a strict interpretation of the provisions as they stand allows. Hongkong, for instance, is visited in the course of a year by thousands of tourists who come to the Colony with foreign coins or notes in their pockets, who make purchases in the shops and stores here, and pay for them, as they do in every other Eastern country, with British sovereigns, Bank of Eng- land notes, or with the currency
