GOVERNMENT HOUSE,

HONG KONG.

25th July, 1939.

My dear Gent,

I should be grateful if you could

let me have an indication of how the wind blows

regarding the proposal in my letter No.322 of

May 3rd regarding the future administration of

the port of Hong Kong. My hopes are rising that

my suggestion of a commission will be accepted

because I have heard nothing hitherto on the

matter and I should not be writing now were it

not that I not infrequently get inquiries on the

subject and I give that augury in reply. I quite

realise that a proposal like this wants a good deal

of consideration, and that these hectic days do not

leave sufficient time for that.

Yours sincerely,

aA

G. E. J. Gent, Esq., 0.B.E., D.S.O., M.C.,

Colonial office.
