Hong Kong,

22nd September, 1941.

Dear Sir,

I have received your letter of the 22nd of September and much regret I am unable to propose your re- solution in Legislative Council. I am very well aware that public opinion is far from being unanimous, personally I doubt the benefit of such an enquiry in time of war.

I am sending your letter and resolution round to unofficial members in case any of them hold different views.

Yours faithfully,

(Signed) J.J. Paterson.

Mr. W. V. Taylor,

Honorary Secretary and Treasurer,

Evacuation Representation Committee,

HONG KONG.
