You recently asked me whether I could confirm that the majority of students at Hong Kong University before the war came from Malaya. I said that I did not think this was the case, but I would prefer to give you the actual figures. These I have now obtained from Dr. Gordon King. They are as follows: -

Students from Hong Kong 47.98 per cent

Malaya 30.34 per cent

China 10.58 per cent

Other places 10.70 per cent

I hope that these figures may be given to the Asquith Commission, as they correct an erroneous impression which is too widespread.
