some of the big schemes on the Kowloon side of the harbour which are rapidly transforming the once barren peninsula into a populous industrial centre. This is the only criticism we have to make on this score, for the illustrations, such.48 they are, are excellent In the context one is reminded of the famous telegram sent when the trouble was at its worse by the statement that,

"There are indications at the beginning of 1926 that the Home Press, otherwise preoccupied in the summer, is at last awaken- ing to facts which were com- municated to them by this Chamber months ago, at a cost of $1.50 a word,"

Feeling Neglected. Hongkong had the feeling that its claims to attention were some- what neglected in this country, and the Chamber actually spent the exceptionally large" amount of $1,693.90 (about £200) on tele- grams during 1926 mainly in the endeavour to bring home to the authorities and the public in Great. i Britain, the gravity of the altua- tion." It would be interesting to, compare this expenditure with that of some of the leading London papers, not to speak of the China,

The affairs of Hongkong had to be regarded in perspective vis a vis the general situation in China and the numerous other matters which |come before Parliament, the Press, and the public of this country. If they have not been the cause of "scenes in the House" and page wide headlines in the papers, it has not been due to apathy or any want of sympathy. The complete

inability of those on the spot to offer any solution of their problem upon, which the authorities here could act with safety is perhaps. as tough to be blamed as anything else. The strike and boycott of Hongkong originated. and is still managed outside the Colony's borders and, although it is both ruinous and humiliating, no one, not even in Hongkong, has been able as yet to offer a solution bet- ter than that of the patience and conciliation counselled by the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, the Straits Times, in a recent article, said:

"You cannot by shouting at them persuade Chinese, mer- chants to risk their lives by buy- ing and selling goods in Hong- kong. It is better to let them discover for themselves that Hongkong is not the only sufferer by the suspension of trade relations, The only prac tical alternative is a policy of force. We could declare war on China and demand the expulsion of all Bolshevista. We could burn down Canton, blockade every Chinese port, infuriate half the other nations, spend a few hundred millions, create a whole host of deep-rooted antagonisms, and find at the end of our endeavour that the trade of Hongkong had gone from bad to worse."

Patience and conciliation ly therefore the only way by which and social relations up the Pear! Hongkong can recover her trading:
