HIS EXCELLENCY thanks Mr. Luk, and says that if there is any matter
which the Canton Government wish to communicate to the Hongkong
Government, Mr. Luk should go at once to the Chinese members of
Council who will convey his message to Mr. Southorn, or take
him to see Mr. Southorn without delay.
SIR SHOUSON CHOW asks Mr. Liang Shih-yi whether he thinks there is
any chance of success in any attempt to reunify China to-day.
He asks this question on account of a telegram received from
Shanghai a few days ago that Sir Robert Ho Tung had interviewed
Chiang Kai-shek.
MR. LIANG expresses the view that any success of re-unification in
the near future is unlikely. He believes in the creation of
better feeling among the provinces, and then call for a confer-
ence when the time is ripe for it. He thinks that this will
take time.
SIR SHOUSON CHOW hopes that a complete friendly relations between
Hongkong and Canton will soon be restored, when Hongkong may
be given the pleasure and honour of according to General Li,
when he comes to Hongkong, as hearty and rousing a welcome as
they had recently given to the Governor of Macao.
HIS EXCELLENCY says that it is
his hope that when he returns from
his holiday in two months' time he may have the pleasure of
according General Li such a welcome in Hongkong.
Before dispersing His Excellency again thanks Mr. Luk, and asks
him to convey his compliments to General Li.
MR. LUK says that, as requested by General Li, he will represent him
at the wharf on Wednesday the 5th October to bid His Excellency
a pleasant voyage and an enjoyable holiday.
HIS EXCELLENCY asks Mr. Luk not to trouble himself, as he will be
going unofficially.
MR. LUK says that he will under the ciruumstance represent General Li
as a friend, and unofficially.
