There are, he says, about 500 Chinese students of all types in
England. The Chinese are (he says) anxious for such a Club; at
present they meet in two or three restaurants in London. They would
themselves raise £2,000, and he thinks British firms and others comid
put up another £2,000, leaving only £2,000 for the Committee's funds.
The China Society would I think undertake to organise and run the
scheme.
N.B. Professor Middleton-Smith, Dean of the Engineering Faculty, is
in England (or rather I believe in Scotland) now. He could give
valuable information to the Empire Marketing Board or the Colonial
Development Committee. Letters to the Hong Kong and Shanghai Bank,
Gracechurch Street, would no doubt reach him. See also article by
Professor Forster on "America and China"
China", in the London Quarterly
Review for April, 1931. (I have not myself seen this article).
