-A recommendation that efficient warning devices

arc necessary in Hongkong as one of the precautions to be ob- served in the event of an air raid on the Colony is contained in the Annual Report of the Inspector General of Police. THE recommendation was made

during the Inspector Gene- ral's comment on the practice of prellminiary precautions carried out in Hongkong on November 20 last year.

"This test was confined to ex-i tinction of lights in the princi- pal thoroughfares and industrial ! centres," stated the Hon. Mr. T. 11. King.

"It did not affect domestic es- | tablishments in any way, but all i future tosis should include ali buildings of every kind.”

The Report adds that excellent tco-operation was given during the November tests by the
