makes it unnecessary to pursue the question
of jurisdiction, is that the area of the
Old Walled City of Kowloon should be con-
verted into a Garden of Remembrance to be
dedicated in perpetuity to the sacred
memory of allied nationals who lost their
lives in the common cause against Japanese
aggression. It has also been agreed that
the safe keeping and maintenance of this
Garden of Remembrance should be entrusted
to a Committee of Custodians, consisting
of an equal number of persons nominated
by each of the Governments of China and
Hong Kong; the maintenance of law and
order and sanitation being carried out
by the appropriate Hong Kong authorities
in consultation with the Committee of
Custodians.
The cost of construction and
maintenance of the Garden of Remembrance
as well as of any memorials which may be
erected symbolising the purpose connected
with the Garden will be jointly borne in
equal proportions by the Chinese Government
and the Government of Hong Kong.
The Garden of Remembrance will
be open to the public of all nationalities,
subject to such regulations as may be
separately drawn up by the Committee of
Custodians, for the protection of property
and the preservation of seemly conduct.
