Hong Kong and particularly to
the despatches noted in the
margin, I have the honour to forward for your information the accompanying copy of a memorandum by the Secretary for Chinese Affairs
on Labour Unions in Hong Kong. This memorandum is
an admirably lucid exposition of the position and
will in my opinion be of great value when the new labour control organization is set up in Hong Kong.
I have the honour to be,
Sir,
Your most obedient, humble servant,
J.Cs. Worth t
Governor.
THE RIGHT HONOURABLE
