DIESEL ENGINES FOR
FISHING JUNKS
Paragraph 15 of
Hong Kong despatch.
The vegetable marketing scheme
should be run on commercial lines and
finance required for capital expenditure
obtained by loan.
This proposal is acceptable in principle,
but full consideration must await the
appointment of the senior Agricultural staff,
when detailed estimates can be worked out.
The cost of these surveys could be met
from one of the allocations for Central
Schemes shown in enclosure 2 to circular
despatch of 12th November, 1945, (Cmd.6713).
It will, however, be impossible for them to
be undertaken during the next two years
because of shortage of technical staff and
high priorities for surveys of a similar
nature in other Colonial territories.
Your despatch No.116 of the 21st
May is under consideration and a reply
will be sent separately.
