"One of the most careful investigations ever conducted into the question of Hong- kong's competition in the British textile market," was how Mr E. G. A. Grimwood, Director of the Hongkong Government London Office described the report by Mr C. Henniker-Heaton of his recent visit to Hongkong.

"

I only wish all our critics were as well-informed as Mr Henniker-Heaton," Mr Grimwood commented.

In his report Mr Henniker-Heaton, who is a Director of the Federation of Master Cotton Spinners Associations, says: "Attention should be given to the question of whether such items as shirts made of Japanese cloth which benefits from

Been More Impressed By Anything In My Life" Says Mr Lennox-Boyd

The Rt Hon Alan Lennox-Boyd, the Secretary of State for the Colonies, said of the Squatter Resettlement project this morning: "I cannot remember ever being, more impressed by anything in my life."

After an hour's tour of the Fa Hul squatter area, the Tai Hang Tung Resettle ment estate and a drive through the Shek Kip Mei estates to Taipo Road overlooking the site of the Li Cheng Uk estate, Mr Lennox-Boyd examined a model of the whole project in Kowloon and declared that the main thing he came to Hongkong for was to see something of "the memorable work of resettlement."
