Day of Prayer, Hongkong, in common with the rest of the Empire, observed to-day as a national day of prayer for strength and guidance in days to come and of thanksgiving for blessings alrendy received. The day was zel unide in accordance with the wishes of His Majesty the King.

Special services were held, in the Churches of all denominations in the Colony, and they were well attended, The Denn of Hongkong, the Very Rev. J. L. Wilson, preached ut. St. John's Cathedral,

where special prayers were offered.

The Rev. Fr T. F. Ryan, S.J., spoke the subject of Prayer at St Joseph's Church, whiere a large con- gregation attended.

Among the large congregation at St John's Cathedral were the Hon. Mr N. L. Smith (Colonial Secretary) and Mrs Smith, Wis Excellency Major-General A, E, Gruseft. (General Omeer Commanding the Troops in China), accompanied by Captain R. E. T. St John (Aide-de-Comp), Hls Honour the Chief Justice, Sir Atholl MacGregor,* and ` Lady Muc- Gregor, and Commodore A. C. Collin- son, H.N.

The service, which was conducted by the Rev. A. P, Rose, opened with the singing of the first verse of the National Anthem,

The Dean led the congregation in saying the general Thanksgiving, after which he offered. special prayers,

Increase in Crime. There has been E rather big Increase in serious crimes and petty turcenies in 1046, compared with 1939, it was learned. from the Hon. Mr C. G. Perdue, -Acting Commissioner of Police,

-

Mr Perdue stated that in 1040 the number of serious crimes won 15,218 -29-against-11,804–in–1030.—The-num-- ber of petty Inreenies had also gone up considerably, but there had been a reduction in the number of out- rages or offences against persons with violence,

One of the reasons for the increase in petty larcenies, sald Mr Perdue, was undoubtedly the increase in the population; another was that when the refugees first came, to the Colony many of them had only a certain amount of money which lasted them for a short while, after which they had nothing to live on.

Wilh a view to combating the erine Increase, an additional 150 Cantonese constables will be enrolled in April, but, the other contingents of the Force will remain the same.

One of the problems facing the Pollee Force at the moment, added Mr Perdue, was the diflculty of get- ting criminals and undesirables away, from the Colony.

As regards the Police Reserve, Mr Perdue stated that the foal strength now is about 125 short of the figure of 1,500 authorised by Government. Very good progress had beend made by the Chinese Company, who had been allotted a strength of 1,000, but vacuncles still existed in the Indian Company and Emergency Unit.

It is expected that the City Hall Library will soon. be ready for the use of the Police Reserve as their headquarters. Some minor Interior alterntions will have to be made and these will take about a month. The car park adjoining Ute Library will not be affected.

Nightsoll Removal. In connection with the report published of the abandonment of the proposal to in- crease the Assessment rates by one per cent, to meet the cost of removal of nightsoli by Government, It 15 learned that the statement was pre- mature. No final decision in the matter has yet been, reached.

When the Hon. Mr. W. J. Carrio, Choliman of the Urban Council, gave the nows to a reporter, he was under the Impression that the rates would not be increased, ns. he had been instructed to prepare a schedule of, "conservancy charges," It now transpires that the preparation of the schedula was required solely that the alternative methods of financing the project might be thoroughly examin«: et de novo.
