Ail things are not yet back to normal in this British crown colony off the coast of China where Canadian troops, fought and die at opening of the Pacific war. Housing is extremely short. World-wide post-war unrest with its resulting crime wave has been felt here, too. A free flow of trade has yet to be restored. The mixed population of whites and orientals lacks unity.

But eight months after restoration of British rule Hong Kong has all the outward aspects of prosperity that prevailed when the Royal Canadian Rifles of Canada and the Winnipeg Grenadiers landed here in 1941 to bolster defence forces being built up as dark cloud of war loomed on the Pacific horizon. The goal of normality is all but attained. The 1,594 Canadians who sur. rendered overpowering Japanese strengths on that black Christmas day of 1941 the remnants of a force of 1,985 Dominion troops--would find, should they return here, great changes in the colony's social order. No longer is the soldier looked at askance by the colony's socially-conscious ruling class, whites and oriental.

No longer is he barred from leading restaurants, hotels and cabarets. But one urgent need of Hong Kong is unity among its mixed population. On the credit side of Hong Kong's rehabilitation ledger are these concrete achievements: Utility services have been restored to the pre-war basis and communications are well on the road back. Electricity and gas are available at all hours. Supplies for civilian consumption are begining to appear on the market, Materials for and reconstruction of bombed-out; looted buildings are being brought in.

Food supplies are ample and no one needs fear hunger. Owing to the mixed and "transit" population, general rationing is not enforced. Government-controlled commodities such as rice, are stationed but unlimited food food, sugar and butte? can ordered at restaurants, both Chinese and occidental. A black market in prevails but this is gradually cleaned foods, up. Communications with the outside world have been restored.

The only phrase of rehabilitation which is behind schedule is that of education. The Japanese almost succeeded in stamping out western culture. Iron Duke Sails On Last Voyage KIRKWALL, Orkney Islands, April 20. (Reuters) M. S.
