TMSDAY,_OCT. eth, 1955 Hong Kong's Problems' Discu ssed at ,Rotary By Attorney General The mottao! Hong Kong is "business as usual" in apite of the tact that the crown colony ls a next-door neighbor of hos- tile Red China, Arthur Ride- halUh, Q.C., Attorney General Ô ng Kong, stated during cuse o! an interesting ad- deIlvered at the regular inteting 0f the Bowmnanville Xo~tary Club on Friday. lvIr. Ridehalgb, who ta spend- ihig Part of a vacation at the homne o! Mrs. Aked and Miss Alleen Aked, cousins of his Wite, at their country home 'Quaint Acres" near Long Sault, stated that since the C h in ese Communists took over that Country and piac- ed an embargo on trade with Hong Kong, the economy of the crown coiony bas suf- fered. The population o! the céobony Was also swoilen frpmn 1, 000 000 ta nearly 2½h,000,000 'bhinese fieeing the Red ne- 7me, and this population is crowded Into an area of onlly 400 square miles. Despite these difficulties Mr Ridehaigh said,- tbe peopie oi Hong .Kong are happy ta be living under tbe British tlag and are ail working bard ta Improve conditions there. He stated that tbe industrial andi comm,,ercial leaders are build-1 lg.up local ihdustrles ta re- place the ioss ta the economyi cauaed by the trade embargo.j They have succeeded ta the ex-i tent that In 1953 some 25 pert cent of the exports tram Hong1 Kong were manufaciured there.1 This la even more noteworthy,i the speaker said, since the raw materials for these manutac- tured goods bave ta be import- ed. Improve Farmlng Methoda Efforts are aima being made ta improve the agricultural niethods in the rural areas. The Chinese farmers are being pro- vided with mare modern lm- piements and bave learned ta grow flsh.in their rice paddies ta augment tbeir food suppiy. The tisbifig industry la aiso be- ing modernized through mech- anization of the fishing junks. Mr. Ridebalgh also stated that an effort is befng made ta improve the crowded sub- standard living conditions caus- ed by the tremendous tncrêase in population. Voluntary bous- ing societies have been formed for this purpose, be sald. The speaker tnaced the bis- tory o! Hong Kong from the time wben the isiand itself and the barbor were ceded ta tbe British in 1841. Prior ta this the British had traded with China for 200 years, a trade which wvas often made di!! i- cuit due ta the hostility o! the Chinese and the activities o! pirates. In 1860 Britain acquit- ed an additionai 31/ square miles, including a part o! the Kowloon peninsula on the Chinese mainiand. During the reîgn o! Queen Vivtorla more islands and another portion o! mainland were ieased ta Bni- tain for 99 years ini 1898. The whole crown colony now er- braces 390 square miles madel up o! -the city o!

The Ja rpanese devastated a portion _o the city and cut down ail th, forests for flrewood. Haîf o! thi Population deserted the cil, wbile the Japanese were ii control, the Hong Kong Attor ney Generai stated. When the British tieet agai took possession of the colon: an August 3o, 1945, the resi dents made a determined et fort ta restore its former im, partance, and are i»aking gooc progress with this task in spiti of the Chinese Communis domination of the mainlanc and the interruption caused b3 the Korean War. The indus. tries are iocated mainly. ir Kowloon, the speaker gaid, anc the business life centres in Vic. toria. The bulk of the Population i Chinese, but 50 nationalities are represented in this cosmopoi. tan city. There is no racial in. tolerance, Mr. Rldehalgh said atxd the various races mut freely. Hong Kong is governed by the Governor, Sir Alexan- der Grantham, and an execu- tive council on whlcb the Chinese are represented. A legislative councîl controls tax- es and expenditures and this is flot elected, but nominated. The Chinese are pleased with this system, however, and often say that they bave "a government which will listen". The City of Victoria is 'gov- erned by an urbrin council witb four eiected representatives, the speaker stated, and the agriculturai areas are iooked atter by administrators with the help o! advisory rural corn- mittees. Good Varied Climate )8 a 't f te te tr In iy Turning ta a description o! everyday life on Hong Kong, the AtLorney General stated that the climate is bot and bu- mid tram April ta September, but cool, dry and sunny tram.- October ta March. The scenery is very beautiful and the large mounitains at the back of the city afford a lavely view of the city and harbour. Cricket, soccer, tennis and badminton are the main sports, and the Chinese make good use a! -the beaches and are exper~t swim- mers. Since Hang Konè is ane of the main international sea and air routes, visiting football teams and tennis troupes otten stop att ta give exhibitions. Mr. Ridehalgh told o! being present at a ceremony in Feb- muary wben an impressive war *memorial ta the soldiers who fell defending Rang Kong from the Japanese was unvei- ed. Canadian soidiers took a *prominent part in this engage- *ment and it was the first major battle o! World War Il in which aur forces participated.« The Attorney Generai stated that an apt description o! the conditions in Rang Kong had been given by tbe Governor, iSir Alexander Grantham. He stated: "Despite adjacent ten- sions, Rang 'Kong stili enjoys peace and a degree a! prosper-t ity. Marchants, traders, manu- tacturers and workers o! every race and creed can go about their daily affairs in freedoni and securîty, confident in the stability provided by Britishc mule and British justice." t Mr. Ridebalgh was introduc-1 ed by Rotarian Artbur Morganr who stated that be was bornE in Lancashire and attended Waddham Coliege, Oxford.
