Important.

No.298.

Addressed to the Colonial Office No.298 repeated to

Consul General Shanghai No.185.

Grateful if the following message may be transmitted to

the Lord Mayor of London begins. Refugee situation in Hong Kong

and South China now necessitates appeal for money but I consider

that sufficient can be collected within the Colony.

Have you

any objection to the creation of Hong Kong branch of the Lord

Mayor's Fund money collected being used at the discretion of

the Local Committee. I intend to associate myself with the

appeal but would prefer to do so as Vice President of your Fund.

Grateful for early reply.
