FOREIGN OFFICE, S.V.1.
27th June, 1939.
Dear Brander,
Thank you very much for your letter of the 26th May
on the subject of Chinese students in England.
As regards the suggestion which you made in the last
paragraph of this letter, I scarcely feel that we should
be justified in making a general statement that all
Chinese students at the University of London should in
the matter of evacuation plans be placed in a preferential position vis-à-vis other foreign students.
There are, however, at present in this country a
certain number of Chinese students who have been granted scholarsnips out of the British Boxer Indemnity Funde and
of engineering apprentices who have come here under the
auspices of the Federation of British Industries. For
these two special classes of students we do consider
V.B. Brander, Esq., C.I.E., C.B.E.,
Universities Bureau of the
British Empire.
