FURTHER ACTION.
Please refer to your letter
of the 13th of April regarding the
recovery of amounts disbursed by the
Australian authorities on account of
Hong Kong evacuees. The Crom Agents
have paid to the Commonwealth High
Cr. in London claims up to the end of
November 1941 from Hong Kong funds and the sum of £5,200 (Sterling) has been
transferred from the Colonial Office
Vote to the credit of Hong Kong funds
in respect of maintenance allowances
to the end of Nov ember also.
I now forward copies of two
telegrams, Nos. 702 and 729, from
Australia on this subject with the
following comments.
No. 702 para. 1. Adjustment can!
now be made regarding the above sum of
£5,200 as the exact amount (£A.6,400.
19s.2d. equals £Sterling 5,120.15s.44.)
is known. The equivalent in stelling
of the two items SA.414.4s.4d. and
SA.
