Dr. Sloss does not in any way despair of getting

Malayan Higher Education Commission, and does not
think that it has any bearing on the proposals for

from Malaya at Hong Kong the University can well
afford to lose them if, as a result of the Hong
Kong proposals, there is an increase in the number
of students from China. Hong Kong obviously has
no obligations in relation to Malaya, and the
Malayan students present some difficulty since
their standard of living and income are considerably
in excess of those of Hong Kong and China students.
Dr. Sloss emphasised the very friendly and
intelligent attitude of the Hong Kong commercial
circles towards the University. He said also that
he had had a talk with a representative of the Blue
Funnel Line since his arrival in England, and that
great interest had been shown during that talk in
the possibilities of the University developing
