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 already received. The day was Let asko in necordance with the wishes of Ils Majesty the King.

Speelal services were held in the Churches of all denominations in the Colony, and they were well attended. The Dean of Hongkong, the Very Rev. J. L. Wilson, preached at St. Jolin's Cathedral. where specint prayers were offered.

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

Among the large congregation at St John's Cathedral were the Hon. Mr N. L. Smith (Colonial Secretary) und Mrs Smith, His Excellency Major-General A. E. Graselt (General Offcer Commanding the Troops in China), accompanied by Captain n. E. T. St John (Alde-de-Camp), His, Honour the Chief Justice, Sir Atholl MacGregor, and Lady Mac- Gregor, and Commodore A, C. Collin. son, IN.

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 general Thanksgiving." saying the after which he offered special prayers.

Th

Increase In Crime. There has been Berious rather big increase in crimes and petty larcenles in 1940, compared with 1930, it was learned from the 11on. Mr C. G. Perdue, Acting Commissioner of Police.

Mr Perdue stated that in 1940 the number of serious crimes was 15,216 as against 11,804 in 1930. The num- ber of petty larcentes 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 forcenies, said 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.

With a view to combating the crime 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 Police Force at the moment, added Mr Perdua, was the difficulty of gel- ting criminals and undesirables away from the Colony.

As regards the Police Reserve, Mr Perdue stated that the tool 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 vacancies stůl existed in the Indian . Company and Emergency Unit.

It is expected that the City Hall Library will soon be rendy for the use of the Polico Reserve as their headquarters. Some rolner Interior alterations will have to be made and these will take about a month. The car park adjoining the 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 nightsoll by Government, it is learned that the statement was pre- mature. No final deelston in the matler has yet been reached,

When the Hon. Mr W, J. Carrie, Chairman of the Urban Council, gave the news to a reporter, he was under the impression that the rates would not be increased, as he had been instructed to prepare a schedule

'conservancy charges,”

"It, now transpires that the preparation of the schedule was required solely that the alternative methods of financing the project might be thoroughly examin- ́ad de novo..
