The Hon. Str William Shenton: "I wish to profest very strongly. I have already objected through another channel, in connection with this vote, and I now register my objection in this Finance Com- mittee. We have already voted for a new station at Ta-ku-ling at a considerable cost in the Estimates. We have already sub- stantially increased the force on the border by two Europeana and twenty-four Indians. We have also voted miles of barbed wire for Ta-ku-ling. The increase of the force at Ta-ku-ling is. In my opinion, quite suficient to protect Sheungshal, which is further in- land. In addition to that are on either side of the border. very strong.

"Au. Tau is in the heart of tho Now Territories and I maintain that what we have done on the border is suficient protection for Au Tau. There are also to be big developments at the side of Au Tau in the near future, and that will make it unnecessary to put up: an armed force at Au Tau. That makes the vote ludicrous,"
