Chris Chataway's Replies To China Mail Questions
The China Mail asked Mr Hilton Cheong-leen to comment on last Friday's answers by Christopher Chataway to a series of questions put to him by the China Mail on his proposal for a World Refugee Year. Mr Cheong-leen is a well-known advocate of measures to relieve the plight of our refugees. He is also Hon. Joint Secretary of the Hongkong United Nations Association which has done much to bring the Colony's rofugée problems before member nations through the World Federa- tion of United Nations Associations.
The HKUNA supports the idea of a World Refugee Year and has asked the WFUNA
to take up the idea at its meeting in Brussels In September. Here are Mr Cheong-leen's comments:
It is gratifying to see from the letter to The Times (published on page 8 of Friday's issue of the "China Mall) that an influential Cross-section ar refugee
