I attach a statement and vouchers shewing the amount

The

actually expended out of funds supplied by Mr. Ede.

total is $4,774.53. But there will have to be some small adjustment because we have paid Noronha $1,764.00 for

publishing the book of War Stories and some copies have been

sold by Noronha and some also by Kelly and Walah but the

amounts have not yet been brought to account.

The large cheque paid to Mr. Braga is for capital expenditure

on our Reuter scheme. We had to purchase a small printing

press and other necessary articles. I can supply a detailed

list if required.

In addition to the sum expended by Mr. Ede, there are two

small sume due to Mr. Leefe and to Mr. Perry respectively.

I enclose an account shewing how these expenses were incur-

total amount due to private individuals for disbursements

on account of propaganda are therefore as follows:

There will be no further expenditure on account of Cinema

because all costs of Cinema in South China are under our

agreement with Shanghai to be borne by the Shanghai Commit-

tee.

These Cinema films are sent out by the Foreign Office

and the most elaborate returns have to be made. This is

done by Mr. Philips on skeleton returns sent in by us.

amounts mentioned above as due to Menara. Leefe and Perry

are on account of Cinema in Hong Kong, I do not think that

this should be charged to Shanghai. I quite agree with His

Excellency's
