No. 1. I think that we should in principle approve the re-establishment of the Hong Kong Volunteer Defence Corps and the Hong Kong R.N.V.R. as recommended by Rear-Admiral Harcourt.
2. I attach an extract from my note on Colonial Forces in the War regarding the Hong Kong Volunteer Defence Corps. I do not believe that there are the same objections to raising a volunteer force in a great commercial city like Hong Kong as there are to raising one in a country like Malaya where so many of the Europeans are engaged on the production of commodities which may be vital in war.
We have already sent to Hong Kong, through
3
the Civil Affairs organisation, a copy of an Admiralty memorandum recommending the establishment of local naval forces after the war in various parts of the Colonial Empire, including Hong Kong.

I see in Colonel Chalmers' minute, the Joint Planners ask our advice when action could be taken to reconstitute the V.D. C. and the R.N.V.R.
I do not think we can possibly usefully advise on this. It is a matter on which local knowledge is essential.
I am afraid I cannot comment on (2) and (3) in Colonel Chalmers' minute and I pass through Eastern Department.
