TARAE

IT is a source of great pleasure to me to visit this far famed outpost of the British Empire, and I am sincerely grateful for the words in which you have wel- comed me here today,

The enterprise and perseverance of British pioneers in the last century, whose foresight in establishing this Colony on what was then a barren and inhospitable island, has brought its reward to succeeding generations,, This splendid harbour, and rapidly growing docks, the' houses and the roads that are being built, in every direc- tion, together, with the beauty of scenery and cultivation that has taken the place of its former aridity bear wit- ness to this and have made Hongkong one of the principal ports of the world.

During the Great War, now happily ended, Hong- kong was able to carry on shipbuilding with unabated energy, and was one of the first of the Colonies to in- troduce compulsory service.

SATURDAY, DECEMBER 26, 1936

King Edward VIII, as Prince of Wales, experienced his first ride in a sedan chair in Hongkung.
