With reference to my letter of the
22nd February, the proposal for an economic and
social survey of the new territories was discussed
with Nicoll and Barrow early this month and
I enclose a copy of the notes of the meeting.
Firth is at present in America but
is due to return at the end of the month when
we hope to arrange for Nicoll to see him. We
agree, however, that the survey should be carried
out by local investigators and both Nicoll and
Barrow considered that Paul Tsui would be able
to take charge of it. As Tsui already knows
probably
Firth, he will/be able to seek guidance from
him should this be necessary and Nicoll will,
no doubt, take this up when he sees Firth.
I am sending separately a copy of "A Survey of Rural Life in Cyprus" which is prepared by
Surridge,
Surridge,/speaking from personal experience,
recommends that the officer in charge of the
survey should be able to devote his whole time to
it and that part time arrangements are most
unsatisfactory. The Cyprus survey might be
helpful to Tsui, particularly the questionnaire,
which he can adapt where necessary.
This survey
is now out of print and we would like this copy
returned/
