GOVERNMENT
The Constitutional Reform infant was born some yeara ago in the Colsay and it has recently commenced squalling. We do not wish it any harm but it would occasion us no grief to attend ita obsequies. If it lives and thrives, it will, we fear, develop from à precocious child Into an undisciplined and uncontrollable creature, proving not only a source of embarassment to the Government but a burden and a grave responsibility to its sponsors. In a community so diverse as that of Hong Kong and Ita Dependencies it would be unwise to tamper with the existing system of representation. It is difficult to understand the necessity for the proposed reforms it has already been proved that in questions that really matter the Government will always respect the wishes of the community. Occasionally the Government trios to give the public something it does not want but in a small place like Hong Kong and its Dependencies success is not possible so long as we have men of public spirit, alert Ratepayers As sociations and accessible Government Officials ready to listen to reasoned argument. The craze for representation is a dangerous one inasmuch as it stifles individual thought And breeds apathy. Responsibility cannot be shed by, dropping a piece of paper into a ballot box.
