GOVERNMENT HOUSE,
HONG KONG.
15th November, 1937.
I have the honour to refer to Mr. N.L.
5 Smith's air mail despatch No. 570 of the 9th
September, 1937, regarding accommodation of British
refugees from Shanghai and to transmit for your
information copy of a report by the Chairman of the
Shanghai Refugees Committee on the expenditure to
date and the present running cost of maintaining
the refugees for whom the Committee is still
responsible.
2.
It has been agreed with the local Military
Authorities that certain expenses in connection with
assistance given by these Authorities to the
Shanghai Refugee Committee shall be included in the
accounts to be rendered by the Hong Kong Government
and will be refunded by this Government to the
Military Authorities when payment has been received
from the responsible department of His Majesty's
Government. The exact amount of these expenses is
not yet known but it is not expected that it will
exceed a few hundred dollars.
I have the honour to be,
Sir,
Your most obedient, humble servant,
THE RIGHT HONOURABLE
W.G.A.ORMSBY-GORE,
P.C., M.P.,
&C., &C., &C.
