My Lord,

I have the honour to report that Sir Boshan Wei Yuk, C.M.G., has enquired whether any assistance can

be given to his son, Mr. Wei Ving-look, either to obtain a commission in the Royal Engineers or to get other employment

under the British Government.

2.

Mr. Wei Wing-lock was the firet King Edward Scholar at the Hongkong University, where he graduated in engineering, specialising in electricity. He subsequently spent two years at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and in 1916 he proceeded to England to volunteer his services for war work. He is now attached to a Chinese Labour Corps in France. He is aged 27. He distinguished himself in athletics while he was at the Hongkong University.

3.

I know Mr. Wei Wing-lock personally and have a high opinion of him. I have much pleasure, therefore, in recommending Sir Boshan Wei Yuk's application for Your Lordship's favourable consideration. Mr. Vei Wing-lock has been instructed to make application in writing to the Under Secretary of State.

I have the honour to be, My Lord,

Your Lordship's most obedient,

humble servant,

Claustivem
