which we have in mind, will serve to guide these unions,
•now in a formative stave, to the point at which they will become enuinely and fully representative of the true interests of organiced labour in the Colony.
We have done our best to devise a workable form of Goverimmat for the Colony of as truly democratic a character as we could. we do not claim that the solution have finally œcided to adopt is a perfect one, and we ali realize that experience will suggust modifications and improve...anta. But the experiment we are now prepared to make is the one which we feel, after considering various alternatives, to be the most appropriate to Hong Kong's particular circustances. As you knʊ? it is certainly the result of prolonged and careful thought on the part of all concerned.
May I add, that though your views came to me after my despatch had been sent off, it was in no sense on that account that I did not feel able to modify my previous decisions.
