There has been since Paskin wrote to
•
you on 4th January about the University, one
further development of which you should I thina
be aware.
Sir George Moss, who as you will recall
was a member of the Hong Kong University
Advisory Committee, has written to the
Secretary of State making a number of suggestions
to the future of Hong Kong University, and in
particular suggesting that the Government of
the United States of America should be approached
and American financial assistance sought with
a view to turning Hong Kong University into
a centre devoted to advancing and maintaining

the Anglo-American heritage. Sir George
hopes that it might be possible to make the
University capable of absorbing the numerous.
Europeans who at present hold posts in Chinese
Universities and who are fairly certain to have
to leave sooner or later in some numbers, now
that the Communists are in control. I enclose
letter.
