It is a happy circumstance that the first visit of Sir Hughe Knatchbull-Hugessen, British Ambassador in China, to Canton and Hongkong should coincide with the prevalence of a greater measure of Anglo-Chinese friendship and a deeper under- standing than have existed for very many years. Hongkong welcomes the presence of Bri- tain's envoy no less sincerely than Canton has done, in the knowledge that his visit will help still further to strengthen Anglo-Chinese relations and alsɔ result in impressing the Am bassador with Hongkong's im- portance in playing its part-to- wards the fuller realisation of this mutually beneficial process.

propriately stressed the fact that this is the first occasion during-the-past-ten-years-in- which a visiting British Am- bassador has found stable poli- tical conditions in the South. These conditions have, without question, been a factor in con- ducing to the new spirit of amity between Hongkong and Canton, as well as in presenting fresh opportunities for British co-operation in the huge pro- gramme of economic reconstruc- tion and industrial expansion upon which the Canton authori- ties are now. concentrating their energies with such marked suc- cess. The late Sir Austen Chamberlain, in one of his last utterances on British policy in China, hit the position off to a nicety when he declared: "We want to be able to trade with you, and we see that your unity and the integrity, strength and authority of your Governnient are things necessary. for our purposes as they are for yours." Britain's policy in China to-day is, first and foremost, based on a desire that China should be permitted to work out her own salvation, with no outside irter- ference, aided in the process by foreign technical and financial assistance to the extent that she considers necessary. In limits, Britain is anxious and willing to co-operate in a spirit of generosity and mutuality.
