Government assistance is required to improve the physical conditions under which many Hong- kong workers have to operate, Col J.M. Clague said today.
Col Clague, Chairman of the General Chamber of Com~ merce, was speaking before 20 representatives from local managements who were attend- ing the opening of a ve day Study Coursa in Industrial Relations.
The course has been organised by the Labour Department in conjunction with the Extra- Mural Studies Department of the University of Hongkong.
Cot Claque painted out that due to the shortage of land and modern factorias many of Hong- kong's smaller Industrial units, most of which are marginal in- dustries, operate in tenements.
Unsatisfactory
"Which apan from being un- satisfactory from the employers' point of view, are, of necessity inefficient," he said.
"It is the conditions in these rise to frelories which dive adverse comment abroad, and of us bouble the consciences n11. It is in my view that it is any in this field more than other that Government assist- unce is required,

Differences
In his retool report Mr Chan said that possibly because of the constitutional difference between "private" and government schools, the private schools were not so sirici in their selection of new students. But the euccessful schools in the latter category gradually formed their unique characteristics. The cultural training in these schools--where the desire for study is intense and the business, of learning respected, had won the praise and careem of the community.
