441

The Honourable Mr. J. H. Kepy L.G., C.B.E.,

Attorney General, held informal conversations at Canton

on April 8th and 9th with Mr. C. C. Wu as a preliminary

to the formal conference which is in view for the ending

of the boycott.

The conversations were friendly and exhaustive,

and Mr. Kemp took the opportunity of making it quite clear

that the Hong Kong Government would not pay strike pay

or compensation for non reinstatement of strikers, nor

would it countenance any such payment.

The conversations were adjourned sine die, but it

was agreed that they should be resumed before the meeting

of the formal conference.
