(34) on '46

With reference to your despatch No.22 of the 24th

May, 1946, it will be recollected that in authorising a loan

of £30,000 to the University from Hong Kong funds, the

Treasury agreed that it should be interest free for the time

being and that the terms and conditions of repayment should

be left over for consideration until the financial position

of the University could be more accurately judged.

2.

Preliminary discussions have now taken place with

the University authorities in regard to this Loan, and they

have urged that it should continue to be on an interest

free basis. Subject to the approval of Finance Committee,

I am prepared to waive any question of interest, and I

propose to negotiate with the University for repayment over a

period of twenty years for preference, but in any case over

a period of not more than thirty years. I should be glad

to learn whether these proposed conditions of payment meet

with your approval.
