With regard to training outside the waters of
the Colony it will be appreciated that to confine the
movements of the Force to the comparatively restricted
limits of Hong Kong's territorial waters would be
prejudicial to effective naval training. It is not

a distance from the Colony as would result in serious
interference with the civilian duties of members.

Government hopes that in recruitment to, and
in the training of, the Naval Volunteer Force, it may
rely on the sympathetic co-operation of employers, and
I am therefore to request that you will be so good as to
bring this letter to the notice of employers, and to
invite their comments on the proposed Ordinance.
I am, Sir,
Your obedient servant,
Colonial Secretary.
