FURTHER ACTION.
March, 1946.
As I think you know the future of
Hong Kong University is at present being
considered by a Committee established
by the Secretary of State for the
purpose. It may perhaps be helpful if I
wto say how this Committee came to bene
Yowards the and of
established.

1944 consideration was
given to the steps which would be
necessary on the liberation of Hong Kong
to reopen the University and it was
decided to set up a small Advisory
Short-heren
Committee to draw up plans for
restarting the most essential activities
advel
on an emergency basis and for planning
what supplies and equipment would be
for this purpos needed on an austerity basis. For a
ya
variety of reasons there was some delay
in starting this Committee and it had not
in fact met when Hong Kong was liberated
in August last. In these circumstances
was decided that it would be better to
postpone any meeting of this Committee
until Mr. Sloss had returned to this
country
