I an extremely sorry that final consideration of this has been, for Ong reason and another, held up for so long. The discussion which . Monson, Mr. Burney and I had with K. Handyside of Hong Kong wes im ediately followed by a period of some pressure in which I am afraid these papers were 1 id ide.
I have remin considered the Codes in the light of Mr. Davidson's careful scrutiny and I agree with him that they can be approved without more delay,
rovided ve can be satisfied as to one point referred to below.
The 0..... could hardly have told us less than he did in the covering despatch, but Mr.landyside vas able to fill in much of the background. The principal point which worried Mr. Burney and myself vis whether, when the two Codes are so comprehen.ively generous, there will be enough fund available for such other educational needs (e.c, an increase in the number of government institutions) s may not now be apparent, but the future may reveal. We must, I thini, ozume that this factor has been taken Tully into account by the Governor and by the Department, and 2. ndycice did not seem to be worvied by it.
The only point upon which I should like some read Mrance is that to which Mr. Davidson drows
ttention st
The A.C.3.C. Memorandura did not conten 1ste that Government grants-in-:id would make up the whole difference between fee revenue nd recurrent approved c.penditure, and the reason for this wholesale relief to the voluntary agencies in not given. We probably ought to find out to what purpose the voluntary fund, hitherto available to close the ag vill now be applied and be satisfied that the diversion is justified.
It is antior ctory that provision is included
