THE JOBLESS FATHER OF QUADS That was Hongkong in 1951, says Sir Sik-nin Chau

Visiting MPs are told of our problems

Sir Sik-nin Chau today compared Hong- kong, when its traditional entrepot trade with China was suddenly cut off in 1951, with "the father who on the day the stork delivers him quads, finds him- self without a job.”

Sir Sik-nin Chay, who is Chairman of the Federa tion of Hongkong Industries, was explaining the Colony's postwar difficulties to a group of visiting British parliamentarians at a Chinese luncheon at the Peking Restaurant, Cause- way Bay this afternoon.

H told the MPs that he hoped they would have an op portunity of seeing "something of our le Colony, of our people and of the problems we are attempting to tackle.

"Most of all we hope you will be able to see something of our efforts our Industries and the people

making to keep Hongkong a free, self-sustaining community."
