policy is to inform the plans made for the resuscitation
of the University and what immediate steps should be taken
to restore the work which has hitherto been undertaken by
the University and which in any case is necessary in as
far as the local needs or Hong Kong are concerned.
Our feeling is that recommendations on this matter
and planning of this kind should be undertaken by a body
independent of the Colonial Office or the Hong Kong
administration.
We have in mind therefore the establishment
of a small and representative body to act as an ad hoc
Advisory Committee. It is proposed that the Chairman of
the Committee should be Mr. C.W.M.Cox, Education Adviser
to the Secretary of State and in addition to Mr. Sloss,
the Vice-Chancellor, who has recently returned from
internment in Hong Kong, and ir. Korse of the Hong Kong and Shanghai Bank, the Treasurer of the University, it is hoped
to have amongst others the assistance of
Dr. R.E. Priestley, Vice-Chancellor of the University
of Birmingham.
Mr. Walter Adams, Secretary Designate of the Inter-
University Council.
Professor L.. Penson, Professor of Modern History in
the University of London.
Sir George Moss, late Consul-General Hankow.

I write now to enquire whether the General Medical Council
would agree to nominate a representative on this Committee.
In view of the fact that the Medical School is perhaps the most important Faculty of the University and certainly the
one that is most urgently required at the present time, and on account
the amount of the interest and sympathy which the Council
alramud
shown
have given in the past, we should very much welcome the help
and advice of one of its members.
