3.

As you are aware, I attach great

importance to the development of the

University as an institution to serve

the needs of students from China, as

Rose of higher education well as/locally, and so to promote

as/locally

British cultural relations with that

country; but I must point out that the

furtherance of British interests in China,

as such, would scarcely appear to be a

proper object for the grant of assistance

from funds provided under the new scheme,

and any application must be clearly related to

the purposes of that scheme.

I have, etc.,
