INTRODUCTION
(a) General
-
It is now just a year since my predecessor, Sir
Edward
Youde, presented his last address to this
Council. I should like to start this, my first address
to the Council, by again paying tribute to his
achievements in guiding Hong Kong
Kong through an anxious
period in its history. The best tribute and what he himself would have wished is to press on with the task of making Hong Kong a better and more prosperous home for all our people. This will be my firm resolve and that of the Government throughout the coming year. To achieve
this we shall be
shall be seeking the support and assistance of this Council and of all those concerned with public
affairs throughout the territory. I hope that what I have to say will demonstrate that we have practical and forward looking plans and that, with your help, they are
within our powers to accomplish.
