At the outset of the meeting, the Chairman referred to the local branch's present membership of 229 and said he wanted specially to impress upon the public of insufficient, for the reason that the Hong Kong that this number was Head Office in London had to spend a considerable amount of money in propaganda work to counteract the efforts of extremist pacifists on the other side.
