Mr. Harmon often went into his office and said they were in need of a programme; but that he would go and see Mr. Dowell, and he would pull them through. Mr. Dowell had never refused and the band had always stepped into the

Mr. Sutherland said that the inscription on the souvenir read: "Presented to the band of the 1st Cameronians by the Naval and Military Y.M.C.A., Hongkong, October, 1927.”

Mr. Sutherland made the pre: sentation amid land applause, and also presented each member of the band with a silver miniature of the souvenir.

Nine Months Ago, Briefly replying, Mr. Dowell returned thanks on behalf of the band and said they would always appreciate them as reminders of a rory happy stay in Hongkong,

"At the 'conclusion of his speech he exhorted his hearers, both the British merchants and Chinese, to have faith in that policy which was a settled policy, so deeply rooted in the British mind that nothing can uproot it or the con victions of those" who formulated it and are pursuing it." Great Britain's policy towards China wis one of sympathetic understanding It was a national, not an imperia listic policy, and one which had for its aim the promotion and con- tinuance of friendly relations.

Warships Justified.

One of the prejudices held by the Chinese people against Great Britain was the latter's so-called: "imperialishi.". In an effort to define clearly the meaning of "im- perialism, Sir Frederick __dwelt for a few minutes upon British history in 1900 and to-day.

The changes in Britain's imped list policy could not be better ex-i emplified, he said, than by the policies of the Joseph Chamber- lain Government in 1900 and the! Austen Chamberlain Government of the present day.

Again expressing thanks to all those who had helped, General Luard called for three cheers for the benefactors of the troops.

Sir Frederick, "there are certain people in this world who, think that the present can be disasse- ciated from the past.

In India we are face to face with the rapid growth of a power- ful movement of national opinion finding expression in different forms and in different ways but all derived from, the same source, the same as any other national.
