TENANTS' PLIGHT BROUGHT TO LIGHT

To the Editor,

Hongkong Telegraph,

Sir,In addressing this letter to you I am not acting only on my own

behalf but also on behalf of the very many families who are in a similar position and who are auftering silently..

It is hoped that this letter moy attract the kind attention of H.E, the Governor as I am aware of the great interest that he takes in the welfare of all the residents of this Colony, be they rich or poor, European or Chinese. I am sure that H.E. alone can take the necessary action to avert what threatens to develop. Into a very acute situation bringing in its train suffering and distress to a large number of permanent residents.

The conclusions of the Rents Com- universally

mission have been

criticised both by the Press (and for this wo are all truly grateful) as well as by the entire Pubile. The conclusions have been accepted by the Government. The justice of our appeal has also been ably defended by Mr. J. P. Braga, the champion of every meritorious couse and of the under-dog.

The hardships suffered by every class of refugees (the real ones) from the interior and from Shanghai meet with our full sympathy; but this

is no good reason why local residents, law-abiding and regular payers of rents, should be menaced with wholesale evictions. Charity begins at home and,
