Extension of Services of H.E. the Governor
During the period of Sir Murray's governorship
good relations with China have been maintained and it is
vital for Hong Kong that they should continue to remain so.
It is probable that a period of instability and internal
power struggle in China lies ahead.
Hence it is most desirable
that Hong Kong Government actions vis-a-vis China should
continue to be guided by Sir Murray.

So far as Hong Kong itself is concerned, it is
universally acknowledged that the adoption of ambitious
programmes of expansion of social services, and the progress
made so far towards the achievement of those programmes, stands
very much to the personal credit of the present Governor.
of these programmes are still in their early stages and it is
highly desirable that Sir Murray should continue to direct
policy until they are more soundly based.

Should it be decided to increase the number of seats
of Unofficial Members on the Legislative Council and to add
additional Members from a wider spectrum of society, this too
will make it inadvisable for any change of Governor to occur,
at least until such time as the new Members have had time to
settle down.
