For Mr. Mayle's signature

16th June 1947.

You will remember that, at our

Alexander

talk with Sir /. Grantham last month,

we agreed that we would draw up terms

of reference for your visit to Hong Kong

in the autumn and send them to you for

any

you might wish to make comment kuhateve

toyo

Kajehly.

After consultation with the

Acting Governor of Hong Kong, the terms

of reference we would propose are as

follows:-

"To advise the Government of Hong Kong

on the general lines and principles

to be followed in planning the future

Port

development of the deer and urban

area of the Colony; to outline plans

for this purpose; and to advise on

what such plans would involve and,

in particular, what planning

organisation would be required.

The above is based very closely on the

terms of reference mentioned in my letter

to you of the 24th of March, with which

we understood you to say you were in

be so good as to)

general agreement.

Perhaps you wouldylet

me know whether you have any comments on

detailed

the full terms of reference now proposed?
