Unofficials, should make a point of selecting at least one Kowloon resident. Sir Henry Pollock, However, would apparent. ly go a little further by getting the Constitution amended so as to cover
the point. The advantage of that, method, of course, would be that Kowloon's right would be definite- ly acknowledged; there would be un question of the representation depending on the goodwill of whosoever might be the Colony's Governor. At the time of writing, we do not know what attitude the Government will take on the issue, but Kowloon people entertain the hope that it will be one, of sym-
pathy towards their legimate aspirations.
