Sir,
C0th Decembor,
1946.
I have the honour to refer to Your Excellency's
letter No.9002 of 20th August, 1946, in which Your Excellency
requested the surrender of Shug Kai-yau under the provisions of
the Chinese Collaborators (Surrender) Ordinance, 1946.
2.
After consideration of the evidence furnished in
support of the charges against Chum Wai-yau, as set out in your
letter under reference, I decided that there were reasonable
grounds for inquiry as to whether he should be surrendered and I
accordingly issued a warrant authorizing his arrest and detention
in order that he might make a statement in regard to the metters
with which he is oburged. After some lapse of time the arrest was
cffected and hum has now been interrogated fully on the charges
brought against him.
3.
As Your Axcellency is aware the Jovernor of liong
Kong in Council is empowered to order the surrender of any Chinese
national who has during the war period done in any part of Chine
any act or thing designed or calculated to benefit the enemy or
hostile or detrimental to or designed or calculated to defeat,
His Excellency
Ceneral Cheng Fa-kwei,
Chinese National Government,
The President's Canton Administrative Headquarters, JA YO1.
