My dear Gent,

I shall be very glad to act as Chairman of the Port Committee mentioned in your letter 54145/1/45 of 22nd September, 1945.

2.

You have probably now been informed that Mr.D.F.Landale is in Cairo and is trying to fly back to Hong Kong.

3. Our only copy of the all-important David Owen report has apparently been taken to Hong Kong. It was printed locally and laid on the table as Sessional Paper No. 1 of 1941. Mand If you have no sufficient copies for the Committee perhaps it

could be reproduced by printing or by duplicator (but this would presumably exclude the important map at the end).

The only alternative would be to telegraph Hong Kong to ask if copies have survived and if so to have sufficient sent by air mail.

from Lebey,

You mad
