and carried

That in view of the attitude of the Hongkong

War Charities Committee, as represented by its Hongkong

representatives, the Committee of the Royal Flying

Corps Hospital regret that they are unable to accept

the proposed contribution of £10,000 a year to be

devoted to an extension of the Hospital. The Committee,

understanding that the Hongkong War Charities Committee

would much prefer the accaptance of the alternativa

offer of £200 a month to the funds of the Royal Flying

Corps Hospital with the only condition that the

principal ward continue to be named after the Colony,

accept it gladly. The President is hereby

authorised to write a letter, to be approved by the

Committee, to H. E. the Governor of Hongkong, for the

information of the War Charities Committee, giving

the reasons for this decision."
