Dear Gent,
28 Cornhill,
London, E.C.3.
26th June, 1941.
8
Hong Kong Dockyards.
To give you a bit of atmosphere I enclose
a recent report on the labour problems at the Taikoo
Dockyard in Hong Kong which has just reached us. This
is our only copy, so please send it back to me.
The Yards are very busy on new construction
for the Admiralty as well as with the repair work on
British tonnage and I have a sort of feeling that this
type of labour difficulty is probably due to Japanese
influences exerted via Canton.
Yours sincerely,
(sgd) J.R. MASSON,
G.E. J. Gent, Esq.,
