I have also given sufficient details of the works for which it is proposed to utilize the loan now under consi- deration, and I need not repeat them here, but I might emphasise the fact that, of the amount set out in the allocation for Waterworks Development, a sum of $1,916,406 has already been expended from our surplus balances, and will be once restored to those balances

as 9000 as the loan is floated.

This procedure was foreshadowed by Sir . E. Stubbs when he in troduced the Budget in 1925, The technical details of the bill are es plained in the statement of objects and reasons.

A Short Term Loan.

The question of the "kind loan to be floated was very care- fully considered by the Govern- ment. It was found that with the repayment of the $3,000,000 War Loan there existed a very definite desire for a local Dollar Loan, and the Government has every reason to believe that the new Loan will be fully subscribed. Such a loan to be attractive locally had to be at six per cent. It might have been possible to float a Sterling Losa' in Londen at small discount at a slightly lower rate of interest, but after mature consideration it was thought to be in the best interests of the Colony to float a local 6 loan in Dollar at par.

It may well be that, when things have settled down in China and the commerce of the Colony is once more pros- pering, it may be possible to float a Sterling Loan at a considerably lower rate of interest and for a considerably larger amount, wherewith to redeem this loan. which has advisedly been made a short term loan, and to anance some of the large schemes of de- velopment which are for the, mo- ment held in abeyance. The pre sent moment is not à favourable one for raising money in London anything connected with Chine. As Your Excellency has pointed out our indebtedness is to small that our credit should stand high, and we hope to reap the full advantage of this in the fu ture when Chinese investments are less unattractive than they are just now.
