Dear Mr. James,
You will remember that I called on you
recently to discuss the subject of a grant
to the University of Hong Kong. I explained
that we considered that the staff of the
University who had been interned in Stanley
Camp should be treated in the same way as
Government servants that is they should. Pas regards entitlement to
Раст (receive their, full accruing pay, and in general
this policy was agreed at a meeting which you
attended here on the 21st August see para.
2 of the minutes The University, however,
is unable to meet its obligation from its own'
resources and therefore seeks a grant to enable
it to do so. The amount of the grant asked
for is the equivalent of the amount that would
have been received by the University over the
period of the Japanese occupation from the
Government of Hong Kong on the basis of the
sum provided for in the 1941/42 budget.
Roughly I understand the total income of
the University in normal years to be as
follows:-
11
From H.K. Govt. grant £23,000
Fees
20,000 Sterling investments 13,000 Local
5,000
