1. I approve proposals in paragraphs 4

(2) and 5 of your savingram No.28 of 12 January

:)

for providing from U.K. funds H.K. 4 million

towards capital rehabilitation expenditure

and H.K. 1 million towards recurrent

expenditure in 1948/49. Presume that only

part of capital grant will be required in

48/49.

2. No repeat no objection to Court being

informed of above financial arrangements

but I hope that you will be able to defer

for present explanation of decision regarding Advisory Committee's main proposal

so that when it is given it will be in line

with terms of public statement, as finally

settled.

3. Have noted paragraph 1 of your.

telegram No.261. But House of Commons has

been promised statement on future of

University and apart from this, I think the

it will be desirable to issue press stateme

here.

Hope to let you have very shortly m suggestions for revising draft enclosed wi

your savingram No.28.
