FORMER GOVERNOR'S ADDRESS

With a view to improving cul- tural relations "between Britain and China and bringing the two countries into closer touch, a Committee has been formed which is to arrange for the visit to Britain of Chinese lecturers.

This was the subject of refer- once at the annual reunion gathering of the Hongkong and South China Diocesan Associa-.. tion, held at Victory House, Leicester Square, on June 2. The Rt. Hon. Sir Frederick Lugard, G.C.M.G., K.O.M.G., C.B., D.S.0,, a former Governor of Hongkong, presided.

After prayer by...the Rev. Dr. G. E Lander, formerly Bishop of Hongkong, the Chairman refer- red to the pleasure it gave him to renew touch with friends made during the happy years he had spent in Hongkong. Of late years his chief interest had been with the University of Hongkong and he was glad to understand from the letters he received from the

Chancellor and Vice-Chancellor that there were hopeful indica- tions for the future as regarded » the financial difficulties through

which that institution had been passing.

The Chairman referred to the institution of a Committee which
