I am say

that what Hong Kong now proposes does at any rate meet the two main stipulations attached to the Grant to which lir. Bourdillon there drew attention · namely that the Grant should be used for "development" rather than mere rehabilitation (even though it is to the recurrent side of development that it is now proposed to devote it) and that Hong Kong do not get out of contributing the sums to the University which they had undertaken to grant.

One other point. I understand from Mr. Vowles that the I.U.C. visit is not yet definitely fixed for the New Year and the composition of the delegation is still uncertain. I really think that we owe it to Hong Kong now to urge the .U.C. to fix the visit then if they can possibly do so and to indicate the importance we attach to its being paid at the earliest possible moment. We can hardly do less than this. I have not overlooked Mr. Adams minute of 8.9.48, but the invitation was received nearly a year ago and in all the circumst- ances a great effort should surely be made to avoid the postponement of the visit, and the final decision that most await it, until the Spring or Summer of 1950.
