Bourne!

Sir,

With reference to my Despatch No. 111 of the 22nd of last March, I have the honour to transmit for your consideration the enclosed copy of a letter of the late Secretary of the Hongkong Nursing Institution and of the Colonial Secretary's reply to that letter.

2. When the Jubilee Nursing Scheme was being formulated the Government undertook to keep up the supply of Nurses for private nursing, and two Nurses did actually come out under the auspices of this Government.

3. Whilst the question of replacing those Nurses was under consideration a local Nursing Association was inaugurated, and it was decided to obtain two private Nurses from home through that Association, the Government paying over the sum of $992.08 for their passages.

4. As, however, the Government was thus relieved of the expense and responsibility of maintaining a regular supply of Nurses for private nursing, I do not consider that in giving a small grant of $992.08 the Government contributed its fair share towards an enterprise which is in every way deserving of Government support.

THE RIGHT HONOURABLE

JOSEPH CHAMBERLAIN, M.P.,
