The Honourable Mr. J. H. Kepy L.G., C.B.E.,
Attorney General, held informal conversations at Canton
on April 8th and 9th with Mr. C. C. Wu as a preliminary
to the formal conference which is in view for the ending
of the boycott.
The conversations were friendly and exhaustive,
and Mr. Kemp took the opportunity of making it quite clear
that the Hong Kong Government would not pay strike pay
or compensation for non reinstatement of strikers, nor
would it countenance any such payment.
The conversations were adjourned sine die, but it
was agreed that they should be resumed before the meeting
of the formal conference.
