I am directed by Viscount Halifax to acknowledge
the receipt of your letter No. 53611/39 of the 8th August
on the subject of the Hong Kong University.
2. Lord Halifax is in entire sympathy with the views
expressed by Mr. MacDonald. He is of the opinion that the
University is a valuable instrument for propagating British
ideals and spreading British influence in China and that it
should be given all the support and assistance possible in
increasing its usefulness in this respect.
3. Subject to any observations which the Treasury
may have to offer Lord Halifax concurs in the reply which
it is proposed to send to Sir Geoffry Northcote.
4.
A copy of this letter is being sent to the Treasury.
I am,
Sir,
Your obedient Servant,
Clarke
Ashley Cen
The Under-Secretary of State,
Colonial Office.
