Before this letter was published, many non-European residents of Hong | Kong had the impression that there was only the Chinose Re- form Ascoelation functioning In the Colony, and did not know the existence of the Reform Club] of Hong Kong which, in fact, hnd been established long before the Chinese Reform Association.

Many problems which the Club has been discussing are similar to those that the C.R.A. is studly- Ing. Generally speaking, the two organisations are of the same nature, and are doing almost the sume task. But in many aspects, there seems to be a lack of con sciousness among the Committee Members of the Club, particular- ly the point concerning the per- centage the local Chinese population. As it is a fact that 98% of the whole, population of Hong Kom tre Chinese, It still remulis un outstanding question being asked whether an organi- sation like the Reform Club, of Hong Kong, with a membership of mostly Europeans, who only accupy about 2% of the whole population, can represent the opinions of the entire population.
