1. Possibility of contributions
from local Chinese residents, which so
far as we know had not previously been
raised, is certainly an important factor,
although we do not feel that it is sufficient
in itself to turn the scales in favour

2. You should know that we have
now proposed to the Treasury that we
should examine the possibility of finding
funds from sources open to the Hong
Kong Government (including C. D. and W
money) towards meeting in the initial
stages that part of the cost of the
re-establishment of the University which
was to have been met from U.K. funds,
on the understanding that any such
expenditure will be eligible for repayment
