Comitt a might have its mifiers in the same building and this would

reduce the cost, Ne ontimates the capital cost at 40,000,as a

There are, ha says,about 500 Chinese students of all types in England

The Chinese nra (ha says) anxioua for such a Club, at premant they

meet in two or three restaurants in wonton, ïhey think they might

themselves rai e £2,000, and he thinks Drilish firms and others

could put up another £2,000,leaving only £8,000 for the Committes' s

funds. The China Society would I think undertake to organise and run

the sohama.
