I should be crabé
EGY the following message from
the Bishop of Hong Kong may be forwarded to the Archbishop
of Canterbury begins.
The Governor of Hong Kong has suggested to the
Secretary of State for the Colonies that steps be taken by
the Foreign Office to obtain Chinese and Japanese co-operation in demilitarising (neutralising) area in Kuangtung providing for refugee women children and infi rmed men only which would be organised and administered by
christian bodies. As hostilities intensify in South China
we anticipate immense number of refugees far beyond the
capacity of Hong Kong accommodation. I shall be grateful
for any support you will give to the suggestion.
Ends.
