enclosed copy of the pension paper of Mr. W. C. Barlow.

As successor to Mr. Barlow, I recommend

The question arises whether Mr. Cheung

all his relatives live, is or is not entitled to Exchange

Compensation on his salary. Mr. Cheung dresses as a European,

but as the College is now closed for the Summer Vacation and

Mr. Cheung is away on leave, I am unable to report whether

his style of living is European.
