People's Response
Sir, Your leader on Hongkong's May, 1940 defence is timely and appears already to have kindled a response in offelal circles, judging by the prompude by which the Government has de elded to increase the Colony's finen- elal grant to the prosecution of the war. As you say there are many people in Hongkong who feel im polent to help and the authorities should set up some central organisa- tion to receive suggestions and to give the people a lead.
