In his anxiety to denounce the Chinese Students educated abroad Mr. Laut has defeated what was pre- mably the main object of his wech vi that of appealing for ids on behalf of the Hongkong Duiversity; for if his remarks agains returned students were true then Mr. Lap has failed to justify the existence of the Hongkong University

tender age and those who went abroad at a nature.age. Those com prised in the latter category are leged to suffer from "incompetency In language which was "unavoid aly followed by incompetency in knowledge" and as a natural conse quence they did not prove to be of much use.".

Mr. Lau assumes firstly that every student who went abroad at a mature age suffered from "incom- petenty in language" inct in itself Somaros a dest or pretty English phrase) and secondly that such "incompetency" uld not be cured by a course of ady in a foreign country.

So much for the returned students who were handicapped by the ma- ter ry of their age. With regard to the students who went abroad at a tenderage Mr. Lau says in effect thar
