Why does H.M.G. permit United States warships to use
Hong Kong as a base for their attacks on North Vietnam?
Ever since the last world war the warships of a number
of countries, including those of the United States, have
been in the habit of visiting Hong Kong for rest and
recreation. No warlike facilities of any description are
provided during these visits and H.M.G. do not consider
that Hong Kong is in any way being used by the
United States as a base for attacks on North Vietnam.
