GOVERNMENT HOUSE,
HONGKONG. 2nd. June, 1919.
With reference to Sir Henry May's Confi-
-dential Despatch of the 14th. August, 1918, I have the honour to transmit a copy of a letter from the General Officer Com-
-manding submitting the Annual Report on the Hongkong Defence Corps for the past year, and a copy of my reply.
2.
As a private in the Corps myself I ca endorse, from personal experience, the high opinion formed by Mojor-General Ventris of Major Morgan's work as Administrative Commandant. The system under which a senior officer of the Garrison is appointed to command the Defence Corps is a good one, but it is necessary to exercise great care in the
selection of such an officer.
ສ
I have the honour to be,
My Lord,
Your Lordship's most obedient,
humble servant,
Officer Administering the Government.
