HONG KONG ANNUAL REPORT
the daring experimentation which characterized the first tentative multi-storey block. I think it is necessary' he continued 'indeed I think it is vital, that the same enthusiasm, the same tough resolu- tion should be applied to the 101st block. I know that is asking much of the administrators who may be tempted at this stage to think of resettlement as a routine, work-a-day scheme; and also of the legislators and tax-payers who are constantly being asked to provide more and more money for a project from which, perhaps, some of the initial glamour has gone. But I see no alternative at present to a 101st, to a 150th, to a 200th block-and if it is to be achieved enthusiasm and resolution must not be allowed to flag in any quarter'.
This same spirit must not, and will not, be confined only to the resettlement programme. If Hong Kong is to forge ahead of its problems, it must maintain its enthusiasm in every field. It is an encouragement to all who are concerned in these matters, whether public servants, workers in the voluntary agencies, or interested members of the public, to know that their efforts are now being supplemented by the work of sympathizers abroad through the World Refugee Year movement.
