There are, he says, about 500 Chinese students of all types in 65′′

England. The Chinese are (he says) anxious for such a Club, at

think

present they meet in two or three restaurants in London. They n they might themselves raise £2,000, and he thinks British firms and others could

put up another £2,000, leaving only £2,000 for the Committee's funds.

The China Society would I think undertake to organise and run the

scheme.

H.B. Professor Middleton-3mith, Dean of the Engineering Faculty, is

in England (or rather I believe in Scotland) now. He could give

valuable information to the Empire Marketing Board or the Colonial

Development Committee. Letters to the Hong Kong and Shanghai Bank,

Gracechurch Street, would no doubt reach him. See also article by

Professor Forster in "America and China", in the London Quarterly

an

Review for April, 1931.
