It is a happy circumstance that the first visit of Sir Hughe Knatchbull-Hugessen, British Ambassador in China, to Canton and Hongkong should coincidè 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 thon Canton has done, in the knowledge that his visit will help still further to strengthen | Anglo-Chinese relations and also 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. The Mayor of Canton, speaking at the official banquet tenderert to Sir Hughe on Saturday, ap- 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- tizal 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 Government are things necessary for our purposes as they are for yours." Britain's policy in China to-tay is, first and foremost, based on a desire that China should be permitted to work out her own salvation, with no outside inter- ference, aided in the process by foreign technical and financial assistance to the extent that sne considers necessary, In these limits, Britain is anxious and willing to co-operate in a spirit of generosity and mutuality. The visit of Sir Hughe Knatel- bull-Hugessen to this Colony al- so serves to stress the desirabili ty of more frequent contact be tween Hongkong and Britain's diplomatic headquarters China. The idea that this Colony should be governed by a super- diplomat who would have charge of Britain's interests in the Far East may not be within the sphere of practical politics, but there does seem some need for closer unity between the Foreign and Colonial Offices in view of the constantly overlapping In- terests affecting both Hongkong and China. Regular ences between the Ambassador and the Governor of this Colony would seem to be an essential
