If opportunity offers, a protest might be maue

somewhat as follows:-

by far the

Most unwarranted attacks have been ade on the

ain

Hong Kong Goverment by frresponsible persons who are not in a position to verify the truth of informat bon which they aerive irom what are clearly unreliable Bources. I am satisfied that the hong Long Government has taken all reasonable steps to carry out the polic of His Majesty's Government in the matter of ui-tsai and that the Chinese community in Hong Kong have complied
