Copy Kowloon Residents' Association, Kowloon, 18th Nov, 1924 The Hon. the Colonial Secretary, Hongkong.

Sir, In reply to your letter of November 15th (No. 4010/1913), on the subject of the Government's proposal to staff the new Kowloon Hospital with Sisters of the Mary- knoll Mission, I have to inform you that a special meeting of my Committee was held last evening to consider the Association's position in this matter.

At that meeting, a Petition. signed by 610 British residents of Kowloon was presented, in which it was urged that it was contrary to the public interests that a Bri tish Government Institution should be staffed from a foreign source; Wu Pel-fu's opinion, was the only that the petitioners deprecated. method by which such aims could lading over the hospital work to be attained. Wu expressed the any sectional religious Association: opinion that the country cannot that anch a step would prejudice exist under control as at present.
