Government will at once take steps to remit mil

National Government's unfettered control; and

that in due course, after the necessary logis-

Majesty's Government will transfer to the

National Government the balance of the deposited

funds, after having set aside the two sums of

£200,000 and £250,000 for the Universities

China Committee and Hong Kong University

respectively.
