Mr Liu Yung-ming,

former

Chinese college student who was alleged to have been kept in the United States by the American government against his will, told the Press on arrival here this morning by the ss President Wilson, that he is a former Hongkong fesident and that "Hongkong is my home.”

Liu further claimed that he was born in Turkey "in the Mediterranean Sea" of Japanese parents and was a citizen of Mexico.

Liu denied that he was ill- treated in the United States and that he was confined in a mental hospital in Missouri against his will. He said Americans were all friends' and that he was free in the United States,

Liu, who was accompanied at the interview aboned the Pre. sident Wilson, by Mrs M. Strathic of the British Red Cross, and Mr Richard Tomblo, of the American Red Cross, said ho did not want to go to mainland Chinu. He added that he did not want to go to Taiwan either because he "has 10 home thoro."

Consistently maintaining that he is a Mexican citizen, Liu suid he did not go to Mexico because "Hongkong is Mexican terri- tory."
