THE HONGKONG TELEGRAPH,

LIFE IN HONGKONG.

IS IT PREFERABLE TO THAT AT HOMET

That fe in Hongkong is pre- ferable to life in England was the motion debated at the European | Y.M.C.A., Kowloon, last night, the meeting marking the opening of the winter activities of the Liter- ary and Debating Society.

Mr. P. S. Cassidy presided and roferred to the "intercating series of debates held at the Y.M.C.A. last year. The series included two the special events, the visit of debating team from Oregon Uni- versity and that of ladies from the Helena May Institute. He thought it, would be a good idea if the Society could arrange for another debate with local ladles.

He understood that a series of do- bates to be held monthly had been arranged for the coming season and he hoped that they would be pro- ductive of new speakers. Public speaking was more than a useful accomplishment, It was in the nature of a safety valve which was very necessary in Hongkong.

The motion "It is the opinion of this meeting that life in Hongkong is preferable to life at Home" was proposed by Mr. W. E. Price who more or less contented himself with detailing the reasons why people leave England to become resident In Hongkong.

He suggested that people came to Hongkong of their own free will, not being refugees from their own intemperale land and suggested that adventure, the love of travel] and the pursuit of wealth factors in the choice being made.

were

Mr. Price referred to an incident

Opposing the motion, Mr. P. Sunds said that on arriving in Hongkong for the first time people were struck by an unfamilar note It was not natural, they failed to understand and therefore didn't like it. Contempt was bred for un familiar surroundings and from that contempt came dislike.
