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
Agric ltural 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
W
to circular despatch of 12th November
1945 (Cad. 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.
