Sir,

9th July, 1946.

I have the honour to acknowledge the receipt of

your despatch No. 23 dated 25th May, 1946, enclosing two

reports on educational work in Stanley Internment Camp, which

I have read with great interest.

2.

The opportunity to make a study of the effects of

internment on European children has not as yet presented itself

since practically all the children who were interned in Stanley

Camp were repatriated and have not yet returned to Hong Kong.

But as soon as circumstances permit, I shall see that enquiries

are made with a view to ascertaining whether the effects of the

limited educational facilities during the period of internment

have been as great as Miss Anderson expected them to be. I

will inform you in due course of the result of these enquiries.

I have the honour to be,

Sir,

Your most obedient, humble servant,

THE RIGHT HONOURABLE

GEORGE HALL, P.C., M.F.

GOVERNOR.
