Dear Griffiths,

In M2 Meyle's absewe a

Explying to Thank you for your letter of the

CE18642/086)

12th July about U.N.R.R.A. assistance for

Hong Kong. In many ways we find

attractive your suggestion that we should

ask for an emergency relief programme for

Hong Kong, paying for it by means of an

appropriate addition to the U.K. sterling

contribution to U.N.R.R.A. But we think

British that Malaya and Borneo should be included

in any such arrangements that were made.

Pernaps the Foreign Office would say

what they think of this idea. One of the

chief disadvantages would appear to be that

there may hardly be time to put it into

affect since there is a likelihood of

}

U.N.R.R.A. coming to an end shortly.

で

Yours sincerely.
