NEW TERRITORY DEVELOPMENT

Whilst expressing sympathy with the objects aimed at, the Government's - reply to Mr. Braga's questions regarding the development of the agricultural resources of the New Territories is not altogether satisfactory. It is admitted that intensive

vegetable and fruit cultivation is steadily spreading, but further extension of the Government ex- perimental garden at Sheungshui in not considered necessary nt this stage. Now that it has been definitely established that the New Territories are eminent- ly suitable for the growing of fruit and vegetables, it is surely desirable to expand in this direc- tion, so as to make the Colony far more self-supporting than It is at present. Whilst not-in any way under-rating the value of the advice and assistance available at the Sheungshui gar- den. we suggest that there is call for far greater encourage- ment than is possible from this source. A broad, comprehen- sive scheme could be devised and, with the aid of definite financial allocations, put into effect so as to cover large areas of the ter- ritories, with depots at various points, at which the services of skilled advisers would be avail- able. It seems essential also that means be found for finan- cially assisting cultivators. Under such conditions, big, thriving industry could be built up, and course of time this would help to absorb some of the workless people now striving to eke out an existence in our urban areas. So far as the suggested experi- mental farm for pig-breeding and poultry-raising is concerned, the Government attitude is somewhat puzzling, for whilst the conclusion has been renched that such a project is not worth while, willingness to explore the matter further is displayed. The presumption is either that the matter hus not yet been an- alysed in any great detail, or that Government may be dispos- æd to consider It modi. fied "scheme. It is some- thing to the good, at any rate, that the Government has not definitely turned the project down. In view of this fact, and

SERIOUS THINGS

But the Socialist League led by Sir Stafford Cripps has already done two, serious things which can- not quickly be undone. It has led the masses of middle opinion throughout the country, rightly or wrongly, to the view that the Labour Party is Q menace to parliamentary government; that it is intent upon seizing arbitrary power and effecting a revolution. Its propaganda has discredited not only the league itself but tho whole Labour Party. It Is been sald, perhaps truly, that every speech mudo by Sir Stafford
