Now that the Japanese Military Authorities

Sheel have withdrawn from Bias Bay and from Tama

it

The

seems probable that there will be an increasing

influx of refugees into Hong Kong and the border

regions round Hong Kong, from the north-east. establishment of a refugee camp or camps on the lines

proposed in this telegram is therefore a matter of

urgency.

The main difficulty is likely to be the

promised exclusion of Chinese fighting men, which

will be difficult to achieve in practice and which

the Japanese will no doubt regard as essential.

The nominal consent of the Chinese Government should

also presumably be obtained if possible.

I attach a tentative draft reply for conson.

after discussion with Mr. Gent. Copies of the

telegram have been sent to the F.0. and the Service

Departments, and it will be discussed with the F.0.

as soon as they have had time to consider it.
