vegetable and fruit cultivation is steadily spreading, but further extension of the Government ex- perimental garden at Sheungshui is not considered necessary at 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.

Therefore, it was of Under such conditions, มิ big, thriving industry could be bullt up, and in 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- rental farm for pig-breeding and poultry-raising is concerned, the Government attitude is somewhat puzzling, for whilst the conclusion has been reached that such a project is not worth while, a willingness to explore the matter further is displayed. The presumption is either that the matter has not yet been an- alysed in any great detail, or that Government may be dispos- to consider B 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 of the general sympathy ex- pressed with the ends in view, it is now up to those who are keenly interested in the matter to see that the Government is supplied with relovant facts on the subject. By stendily peg- ging away, the advocates of pro- gressive and intensive develop ment of the New Territories' resources may eventually con- vince the authorilles that they have a really good case.

SERIOUS THINGS

But the Socialist League led by Sir Stafford Cripps has already done two serious things which can- not quickly bo undone. It has led the masses of middle opinion throughout the country, rightly or wrongly, to the view that the Labour Party is a monace to parliamentary government; that it Intent upon seizing arbitrary power and effecting a revolution. Its propaganda has discredited not only the league itsolf but the whole Labour PartyIt has been Bald, perhaps truly, that every specch

made by Sir Stafford Cripps has lost the party 20,000 votes. But more significant than that, he has stirred into activity forces which he had not bargained for-those of the Fascists. Be fore he began his vigorous cam- paign the British Fascista wore far more negligible than now. Sir Oswald Mosley's Fascist Organisa- tion has grown in strength with every utterance of members of the Socinilst League. The aggressive men of the Left have, in fact, damaged the party to which they belong, and greatly reduced its chances of success at the next election.

About our last photograph we prefer to say nothing. Those sort of pictures seem all right when you first seo them, but after a few years you find yourself rummaging About In the attic, and you como across it. You then say "Bah!” or laugh bitterly, as the case may bo.

Home photography is different still. There is no chance of caenpo from the amateur photographer. You are dragged out into the back yard with the sun in your eyes for ten minutes, and if the result is not a completo blank it is a vile Jibel.

The only good thing about photo- graphy is the dark room. The office photographers reckon that it is the only place where they can have a a decent, undisturbed sleep during working hours. --
