H. E. The Governor. Sir Seu son Chow and Hon. Members, I
thank you very sincerely for the warm welcome you have given me through the medium of your Senior Unofficial Member. Had a meet- ing of this Coune! been called within a few days of my arrival in the Colony, I should have said that although a stranger to Hong- kong I did not come before you entirely as a stranger.
I had the pleasure of meeting Mr. Southern a year or two ago during his visit to Malaya. 1 travelled out nearly 32 1/2 years ago with Mr. Hallifax on our great adventure to the Far East, and have had the opportunity of dis- cussing labour matters as affect- ing Chinese labour in Malaya since that date.. Mr. Messer and I, together faced the stern examiners of Mathematical Tripos 34 years ago at Cambridge, whilst Dr. Wel- lington and I have been associated over a period of 20 years in health and other matters.
