HONGKONG, APRIL 11TH, 1881.\n\nPRESENTATION OF AN ADDRESS TO SIR JOHN SMALE.\n\nA public address was presented to Sir John Smale, Chief Justice of Hongkong, at the City Hall, on Saturday afternoon. There was a considerable attendance, but much disappointment was expressed by many who were not present owing to no proper intimation of the holding of the meeting having been made. The attendance included a large proportion of Indians and some Chinese, and most of the European firms were represented by their chief partners.\n\nThe Chief Justice was met at the door of the Hall, by the Hon. P. Ryrie, Hon. W. Keswick, Mr. Justice Snowden, Mr. Hayllar, Q.C., and Messrs. Hoppias, Dalrymple, Belilios, Sassoon, Attonjee, and Braddon, who conducted his Lordship to the platform.\n\nThe address was presented by the Hon. P. RYRIE, who said—Sir John, I experienced much satisfaction when the pleasing duty was allotted to me of presenting to you the numerously signed address which I now hold in my hand and which I shall presently read. It has been my privilege to number you and the members of your family among my friends since the year 1861, and during that time the relations between us have been most cordial. I only regret that they are now to be severed by your departure for England, but I hope they may be renewed in our native country before long. That the departure of yourself and Lady Smale from this colony will be felt as a loss to our social circle, everyone I am sure will agree with me. Yourself and your amiable partner have done much to make residence in this colony agreeable by a most liberal dispensation of hospitality at your own residence and by assisting at our gatherings whether of a private, public, or semi-public character. As a most liberal donor to all charities and a subscriber to educational and missionary movements in this colony you will also be a great loss. In the Legislative Council, I have now been associated with you for fifteen years, and I am therefore able to state how conscientiously you have performed your duties as a member of that body, and as an unofficial member I have a grateful recollection of the manner in which you, from your seat in the Council, supported us, the unofficial members, when bringing forward views for the public benefit. (Hear, hear.) It is true that by an order of the Secretary of State you were debarred from voting save with the Executive, but, notwithstanding that, we on many occasions felt your sympathies were with us. I need not refer here and now to the performance of your duties as Attorney-General and Chief Justice. One gentleman, much more competent than I to form an opinion and more able to express it, addressed you yesterday in the Supreme Court in the name of the members of the legal profession in the Colony. That address I was very glad, and I am sure many here were glad, to read in the newspaper this morning. If you will now permit me, Sir John, I will read this address.—(Applause.)—\n\nThe hon. gentleman then read the address as follows:—\n\nTo the Honourable Sir JOHN SMALE, Knight, Chief Justice of Hongkong.\n\nSIR,—We, the undersigned Residents of Hongkong, desire, upon your approaching departure, to express the high sense we entertain of your public services as Attorney General and Chief Justice successively of this Colony.\n\nTo the administration of these offices you have brought not only high legal attainments, great acumen and a judgment ripened by long experience, but have been still more honourably distinguished by your strong sense of justice and pure sympathy with the right.\n\nMainly dealing, as the Supreme Court has to do, with a population alien to ourselves in race, language, and customs, the duty imposed on you of presiding at trials, both civil and criminal, protracted, and of the highest importance, has been one of exceptional difficulty. Of the success of your administration of the law, facts speak more than words; and in the increasing prosperity of the Colony, in the numbers of persons of various races who daily flock here to seek home or fortune, in the security of life and property, and the diminution of serious crime, will be found the best record of your services.\n\nIn looking back over the many years of your laborious career there is no matter which we feel you must ever contemplate with special pride and gratification. We allude to the attitude you have firmly maintained towards slavery in whatever form and however disguised, and the nefarious trade in women and children so often carried on in this Colony for the most infamous of purposes. The fruition of your work in this direction is not yet complete, but the policy you have done so much to inaugurate and carry out will never cease to be honourably associated with your name.\n\nOf your labours in the Legislative Council, of your connection with various public movements, of the sense of duty you have imported into all your public acts, we can say no better than that they afford a standard for all those who succeed you to be guided by. We now beg to bid you farewell, and finally wishing you a prosperous voyage and the enjoyment, for many tranquil years, of the repose you have so well earned, we subscribe ourselves, your sincere friends.\n\n(Signed)\n\nP.

There was no question of\n\nthe exigencies of the service, but of the exigencies of Mr.\n\nHallifax's leave consequent on his unfortunate accident. There\n\nhad been an oversight in the grant of his leave, the existence\n\nof which was apparently not present in Your Excellency's mind\n\nat the time of the correspondence as to Mr. Rees Davies'\n\nextension of leave.\n\nIn these circumstances therefore I should\n\nnot have assented to the charge being made against me. And\n\nwith deference I suggest that in the recommendation to the\n\nSecretary of State the possibility of its falling on me should\n\nnot even be suggested, but that it should be stated that owing\n\nto an oversight in regard to Mr. Hallifax's leave the charge\n\nmust be borne by the Colonial Government.\n\nYour Excellency\n\nSir Frederick Lugard, K.C.M.G.,\n\nGovernor of Hongkong.\n\nI have etc.,\n\n(Sgd.)

He has a good knowledge of bacteriology and, indeed, as you know, has published work on the subject.\n\nThe only matter regarding which I have any doubt is the pathological work. At one time I believe Kinett was a good deal concerned with pathological questions, and I have a copy of a testimonial in which his qualifications as a pathologist are specially mentioned. Furthermore, in 1911 he published a paper on three unusual post mortems, showing that he was still keeping up his interest in the subject; while in 1906 he won the prize of the Pathological Society, Guy's Hospital. Hence I think there can be no doubt he was well grounded in pathology, though of course his",

In this way I was brought into intimate association with Dr. Anderson's work. In British Guiana Dr. Anderson undertook the clinical and pathological investigations of the inquiry; proving himself a physician of much acumen, and a keen morbid anatomist. He won and retained the confidence and co-operation of all classes among the many nationalities represented in that Colony. At the same time he proved of very great value to the Commission by his Public and social gifts which gained for us numerous friends in administrative and commercial circles.\n\nI was so much struck by his sympathetic handling of coloured peoples, and by his courtesy and tact, that on proceeding later from British Guiana to China I left him in charge; in full",

I explained the only reason the post had been nominated as S.0.1 was the fact that we had earmarked Wing Commander Max Oxford for this position. I am informed a Wing Commander's equivalent in the Army is Lieutenant Colonel. Mr. Paskin pointed out that it is the responsibility and the work which determines the rating of the post not the individual who is to occupy it.\n\nThe S.0.3 mentioned in paragraph 5 (iv) of Mr. Sedgwick's minute is for Civil Engineering and Water Works. Mirams, the prospective candidate is really a Civil Engineer and just happens to have experience on air port reconstruction.\n\n(c) I agree that at this stage an S.0.3. for Postal Planner is sufficient.\n\n(1) I have not seen Cuthbertson's file for some time but I think we are committed to him in writing.\n\n(h) S.0.3.

        "content_text": "153 3\n\nTúe\n\n3\n\nwucle allend con so Miss Ruston\n\nWith reference to our recent telephone conversation about the extent to which the establishment authorised by the Treasury for the Hong Kong Planning Unit has already been filled up, I attach a diagram giving the necessary information. From this you will see that the only definite vacancies are for an S.O.1 Finance and an S.O.1. Trade and Industry. I have candidates in view for all the other vacancies.\n\n2. No appointments have been made for the two temporary posts of Mechanical and Electrical Engineers but we have taken on Mr. H.E. Goldsmith on a part-time basis to assist Mr. Rouse. Mr. Goldsmith is an architect and civil engineer who was formerly an Assistant Director of Public Works in Hong Kong. There is a proposal that he should be appointed full-time instead of part-time. I will refer to this in detail later when discussing the additional requirements of each department. We have at any rate a vacancy approved by Treasury for one temporary Engineer. No\n\n3. To make the picture complete, we have separate Treasury authority for an S.O.2 and two S.O.3s for the Police Training School in India. Of these the two S.O.3s (Messrs. Egg and Mackenzie) are at present with the Unit. No steps have yet been taken to recruit the S.O.2 pending Mr. Sansom's negotiations in India.\n\n4. I will now deal with the staff and requirements of the various departments of the Unit. Under Secretariat I have placed Mr. W.G. Wormal as an S.O.2 as there is no vacancy for an S.O.2 under Supplies. I have also included Captain Danby and Mr. E.R. Reeves, an Administrative Officer from Palestine. Captain Danby could handle publicity and Mr. Reeves personnel. With these reinforcements the Secretariat should be adequately staffed, except for planning for the Post Office, for which an additional S.O.2 is required. Mr. Stokes and Mr. N.L. Smith have recently been making a preliminary survey of the work involved and I shall be putting up proposals for a postal planner shortly.\n\n5. The P.W.D. staff urgently needs reinforcement, as they have now reached the stage of indenting for technical supplies and large numbers of detailed specifications have to be drawn up for the supplies approved by the Brett Working Party. Our recommendations are as follows:-\n\n(i) that Mr. H.E. Goldsmith should be taken on full-time at a salary of £45 per month with retrospective effect from 1.3.45. He should be deemed to hold one of the temporary Engineer Adviser posts and I do not think reference to the Treasury is necessary except perhaps for the amount of his salary. He is too old to go to Hong Kong but has proved extremely useful to us here.\n\n(ii) that the second temporary Engineer Adviser post should be altered to a permanent post for an acting Chief Mechanical Engineer to be recruited from the Colonial Service. He would rank for military purposes as an S.O.3 and is urgently required.\n\n(iii) that an additional S.O.2 be engaged for architectural planning and specifications. The candidate we have in mind is Mr. D. Cuthbertson, an Architect who has had service in Malaya and Hong Kong\n\n165.\n\nとい\n\n4\n\n:",

You will see that the former refers to a despatch on the financial position generally and the reasons for not floating a loan until next year. This despatch has not yet been received and without further information it is difficult to press the Treasury to advance money in anticipation of a loan being raised. At the same time the matter is urgent as the Governor proposes to put an Appropriation Bill to the Legislative Council on the 25th July. We feel therefore that we should take advantage of your presence here on the 24th to discuss this whole question. It is hoped however that it may still be possible to find time for the debtor/creditor relations afterwards.

Hong Kong through the Governor (? 30), the Colonial Medical Advisory Committee and various quasi official and non-official health organisations.\n\n5.7.46.\n\nMiss Ruston\n\nIf things were normal this Report should either be printed by the local Government or on their behalf through the Crown Agents.\n\nProviding it is not desired to make it either \"secret\" or \"confidential\" the Report could be printed as an Office Super in the \"Eastern\" series and circulated to whoever the Head of the Department directs.\n\nThe most recent precedent is \"Middle East No. 66 A Medical Survey of the Western Aden Protectorate by Dr. F.W.K. Petrie and Dr. K.S. Seal\" but I am afraid I have no spare copy of this available for attachment as they have all been distributed.\n\nThere will be no objection on the part of the S.O. to printing the Report as this is already covered under a running demand.\n\nIt is usual in the case of Office Papers to have 30 copies for distribution, the reason being that they are invariably \"Secret\" or \"Confidential\" and in consequence distribution is very limited. I have however consulted the S.O. about this Report and they are willing to let us have 125 copies which I understand will cover your needs.\n\nWould you please give an indication of what you want put on the cover page?\n\nPage ...\n\n6th July, 1946.\n\nThe cover page should have the following:\n\nMedical Report on Health Conditions in Hong Kong for the period 1942 to 8th August 1945 by Dr. P.S.

I have therefore sent him two advance copies by air mail (12).\n\n2. It might be helpful if, in sending copies to the Governor under cover of a despatch, we could say to what individuals or bodies in this country copies were being sent.

I have sent to C.S.D. four copies of the report to be placed on the personal files of Dr. Selwyn-Clarke, Dr. Valentine, Dr. MacLeod and Miss Watson respectively.

When I saw the buildings just before I left, there was less damage than I had expected.\n\nNevertheless, the Great Hall had no roof and most of the buildings had lost equipment, furniture, wooden floors, and lavatory fittings. The School of Surgery was in better shape; so also many of the Staff Houses, and the library was not damaged, and a certain number of books remained, but the Nips had stolen the Morrison collection of books.\n\nDigby adds:\n\n\"When I left, there was a certain amount of pessimism and defeatism in the air. 'The Colony would be returned to China, the University ought to go bankrupt and close down.' All this is absolute rubbish. The Colony must remain British and will be more prosperous in a few years than it has ever been. The University could easily restart in September at the latest, though it would only be...",

It will have to be started again almost from the beginning since, apart from the problems arising from the loss of buildings and equipment and the internment of most of the staff, there has, of course, been complete interruption of matriculation and graduation.\n\nIt is, however, necessary that, as soon as possible after the liberation of the Colony, the University should be in a position to meet those urgent demands which will be made on it for doctors, teachers and other qualified persons to assist in restoring normal conditions.\n\nThis being so, it is clearly not too soon for plans to be made in the necessary detail for the resuscitation of the University. Our feeling is, however, that this planning should preferably be the responsibility of a body representative of the University itself rather than of the Colonial Office or of the future Hong Kong administration.

Taken 1 T.R.\n\nThe Secretary of State discussed the Report with Mr. Sloss and myself the day before yesterday. His instructions were that a further memorandum should be prepared to assist him in reaching a decision and to accompany his letter to Mr. Bevin and the proposed approach to the Treasury, bringing out more clearly than is brought out in the Report (a) the probable size of the University's student body and the proportions in which it is estimated that this is likely to be derived from China and the Colony respectively; (b) the proportions in which the capital and recurrent expenditure involved should properly be derived respectively from funds within the Secretary of State's sphere (either Hong Kong revenue or C.D.W. funds) and from a Treasury grant in which the interests of the Foreign Office rather than the Colonial Office will be more directly affected. Under (b) the Secretary of State would also welcome any comment on, or amplification of, the financial sections of the Report.\n\nIn view of Mr. Lloyd's and Miss Ruston's absence on leave until the 16th, together with Mr. Sloss's absence in Paris until the same date, the Secretary of State preferred to postpone further action on the matter until Mr. Lloyd's return when he would like it to be taken up again with him at once.\n\nMr. Sloss will submit written data on which (a) can be based, and he is willing to assist in estimating (b). Perhaps Mr. Lloyd, Mr. Caine, Miss Ruston and I could meet, with Mr. Sloss, as soon as possible after the 16th to settle the lines of the memorandum? Copies of the Report have now arrived from the printer and I suggest (i) that in the meantime the draft of the Secretary of State's letter thanking the outside members of the Committee (second draft on the file) might be re-submitted forthwith, (ii) that copies of the Report should be sent to members, who will be wondering if it has been printed and received, and (iii) that the copies for Sir Mark Young (A in Miss Ruston's minute of 20/8) should also go out now by air bag; those for the recipients listed at B in Miss Ruston's minute should no doubt wait until the Report has been sent to Mr. Bevin.

By criterion (a), so far as I can form an opinion after further discussion with Mr. Sloss, something like the proposed increased contribution from the Hong Kong Government on the one hand and the C.D.W. grant on the other are likely to be needed in any case even if the main recommendation of the Report fails through lack of Treasury support. As regards criterion (b), Mr. Caine spoke of the probability of a policy of increased revenues at Hong Kong which again points in favour of the line taken in the Memorandum.\n\n7. The most serious difficulty I have experienced in considering the Memorandum has been in respect of the fear expressed by Mr. Sloss (referred to in para. 6 of the Memorandum at X and in para. 3 of Miss Ruston's minute) that the increased local Government expenditure on the University may be to the detriment of much needed increased expenditure on primary education. But after further discussion of this I am clear that considerable further expenditure on the University, or its equivalent, by the local Government would be necessary in any case and it will be essential for us to secure that any general increase over the decade in Hong Kong revenues is reflected in its expenditure on primary education. This will, however, need constant vigilance.\n\nCarla Cox\n\n4. 10. 46.\n\nThis file has only reached me this morning and I send it on at once in view of the suggestion in paragraph 2 for a discussion with Dr. Priestley to-morrow afternoon after he has discussed Malaya. I should like to be present at the discussion.\n\nI am sorry that I was unable, owing to another important meeting, to attend the discussion on the 24th September which has resulted in the draft memorandum now submitted on the sources from which the additional expenditure on the University involved by the recommendations of the Advisory Committee should be met. I am afraid that I do not agree that 50% of this expenditure (capital and recurrent) over the next 10 years should be met from Hong Kong funds, including grants from C.D. & W. For one thing, I think that this is much too much for us to propose for Hong Kong at the outset and for another, I think that a sounder basis to adopt would be to deal with capital and recurrent expenditure separately, and make the proposals cover the whole of the capital expenditure. As regards recurrent, in the case of Imperial grants, there is always the constitutional difficulty about getting assurances for future years, but I think that the agreement of the Treasury to provision being made in the Imperial Estimates from year to year would be a sufficiently firm basis for us to work on and it would certainly be preferable not to limit this assistance to 10 years. Insofar as the proposals now put forward are based on estimates of the numbers of students likely to be forthcoming from the Colonies, on the one hand and from foreign...",

The draft memorandum making proposals for the allocation of the cost of the Committee's recommendations were discussed and accepted generally. It was agreed, however, that before the memorandum could be sent to the Foreign Office, the Governor must be consulted on the lines of the attached draft telegram in regard to the expenditure that it is suggested should be met from Hong Kong revenues.\n\n3. It was suggested that in order not to cause further delay the Secretary of State might be prepared to write to the Foreign Office now, as in draft opposite, adding that a memorandum has been prepared in the Department making proposals as to the sums that might be met from Hong Kong revenues, C.D. and W. funds and a Treasury grant; that the amount proposed from Hong Kong revenues is being discussed with the Governor and that as soon as his views have been obtained the memorandum will be sent to the Foreign Office; but that on the examination that has been conducted here it seems to us that the maximum amount which the Treasury might be asked to sponsor from Imperial funds is a capital sum of £500,000 and a recurrent sum of £30,000.\n\n4. I have pinned a draft amendment on the draft letter to the Foreign Office in this sense.\n\n5. I have also added two footnotes to the memorandum in connection with the points mentioned in paragraphs 3 and 4 of Mr. Cox's minute of 4/10.\n\n6.

See in this connection Miss Ruston's note of the 12th October and the attached paper. The calculations in the memorandum will consequently have to be revised.\n\nI suggest, however, that a simpler and sounder basis will be to propose contributions from U.K. funds towards capital and recurrent expenditure without any reference to a particular period.\n\nI would also suggest that we should avoid getting into the position of accepting the principle that the costs should be allocated according to the estimates of the nationality and domicile of students for future years.\n\nI submit a revised draft telegram and a revised draft addition to the letter to Mr. Bevin.",

The memorandum also contains proposals as to how the capital sum of £1,066,000 and the additional annual expenditure of £85,000 estimated as necessary on Page 26 of the Committee's report might be divided as between Hong Kong Government funds, C.D. and W. Central funds and Imperial funds.\n\nThe amount proposed from Hong Kong revenues is being discussed with the Governor by telegram and as soon as his views have been obtained I will arrange for a copy of the memorandum to be sent to the Foreign Office.\n\nMeanwhile you wish to have some idea of the figures involved. I cannot give you final figures but I can give you an assurance that the capital sum for which I suggest that we should make a joint approach to the Chancellor of the Exchequer will not be more than half the total required, that is not more than £500,000 (spread over at least ten years) and that the recurrent figure which we have in mind to propose is £30,000.\n\nIf, as I hope, you agree with the Committee's recommendations, I hope you will also agree that these sums would represent a recognition on the part of H.M.G. of the Imperial interest in the University and of the foreign element in its student population.",

It is certainly most disappointing that nothing appears to have been done towards the repair of the University buildings.\n\nAs to the cost of such repairs, the position I think, is this. Claims for damage to property, buildings and priority will be assessed and considered by a Claims Commission to be sent out from this country. The Commission has not yet been appointed and it would clearly be some time before its recommendations are implemented.\n\nAny payments ultimately will be met from Hong Kong Government funds. I think it is a reasonable assumption that, apart from the cost of minimum first-aid repairs to the buildings of the University to make them habitable, the Government would meet the necessary expenditure, though the method by which the necessary funds will be raised has not yet been considered.\n\nThis being so, it seems to me that we might suggest to the Governor that, if, as we have been led to believe, there is this urgent demand for the re-opening of the University this Autumn, the Hong Kong Government should consider paying for minimum repairs and give such facilities as would enable the work to be done quickly, the expenditure being recoverable from eventual ...\n\nPage 180\n\nPage 181",

Ruston, Colonial Office, Downing Street, London, S.W.1.\n\nDear Miss Ruston,\n\nI do not think I have written to you since 15th August, just before my return to Hong Kong. I left Chungking at the end of August, and, after a few days delay in Kunming, reached Hong Kong again on 7th September on the same day that one of the first parties of C.A.A. members arrived from England. Since then I have been busy acting as A.D.M.S. (C.A.A.) under the direction of Colonel Fehily.\n\nThe magnitude of the problems confronting us when we got back was immense, but it has been very encouraging to see a degree of order slowly evolving out of chaos. I have greatly enjoyed the work, though of course I am anxious to get back to my real job in the University as soon as possible.\n\nI am enclosing an official acknowledgement of Sir G.E.J. Gent's letter of 19th December (Ref. 53611/7/45) inviting me to become a member of the Hong Kong University Medical Degrees Emergency Committee. I am sorry to say that the letter did not contain the copy of the Order-in-Council said to be attached for reference. None of the other members received a copy either, and I should be glad if we might receive one at an early date as our further action is held up pending its arrival. Hazlerigg has drafted out a provisional form of procedure, and we are prepared to act as soon as we receive the text of the Order-in-Council.\n\nRegarding the future of the University, I am receiving constant enquiries as to when we shall re-open, and it is my opinion that we should make every effort to open at the beginning of October. The Commander-in-Chief is strongly in favour of this and after inspecting the University at the beginning of last week sent a telegram to Mr. Sloss as follows:-\n\nFrom Rear Admiral Sir Cecil Harcourt to Colonial Office for D.J. Sloss.\n\nAfter inspection of University I am in favour of immediate rehabilitation of certain buildings and propose accordingly to take such steps as are possible under present limitations. Large re-opening in October and prior return of staff members who are fit within age limit. Suggest also that new personnel be engaged to fill vacancies caused by death or retirement. Suggest immediate placing of orders for textbooks, apparatus and equipment. As soon as you have set the above in motion your presence in Hong Kong will be of inestimable value.\n\nI am enclosing a copy of a letter I have just sent to Mr. Sloss on the whole subject, which gives all the details. Any assistance which you can give us from the Colonial Office side will be very welcome indeed.\n\nWith kind regards.\n\nYours sincerely,",

Do you?\n\nIt is a little difficult to circulate it without the relevant parts of the lecture to which the letter refers. Do you think it is worth circulating the passages marked between arrows on page 262 and on pages 262 to 264 respectively?\n\nIf you think we should circulate extracts from the lecture and, secondly, from his letter, perhaps you could save time by returning these documents to Miss Ruston, with this letter of mine to you, asking her to have the various extracts duplicated. If your advice is against that perhaps you would return to me and I will send the lecture up to him.\n\nYours sincerely,\n\nCaulfield\n\nD.J. SLOSS, ESQ.",

Hence in my letters to Morse, I have not gone beyond £60,000 as Government's contribution. As these additional contributions are only hopes and the only one about which there is any degree of certainty is that from local Chinese (the Alumni Association of the University are already preparing appeals in Hong Kong, Shanghai, Canton, Nanking and Malaya) I thought the less said about them at present the better.\n\nYours sincerely,\n\n(D.

An Order-in-Council was made for the purpose of establishing a statutory Committee authorized to deal with certain urgent financial affairs of the University, particularly the payment of accrued salary to those members of the staff who had been interned and the ordering of new equipment. The need for the Order-in-Council establishing such a Committee was fully discussed in the Department at the time and with the Vice-Chancellor of the University. (The meeting at which Mr. Sloss, Mr. Paskin, Mr. Cox, and myself discussed the proposed functions of the Committee is recorded in the minute of the 19th November, 1945 (flagged)). Owing, however, to the very great pressure of work at that time and the fact that Mr. Sloss was anxious for a meeting of the Committee to take place in advance of the actual date of the Order-in-Council, the sending of formal letters of appointment by the Secretary of State to the members of the Committee was overlooked. Nor were the names or the suggested members submitted to him. They were agreed by Sir E. Gent, however, See X of minute of 18.10.45 and minutes of 19.10.45 on 54147/45 (flagged). See also X of minute of 19.11.45 (Flagged).\n\nMr. McPetrie suggests that in X of his minute of the 2nd November that a note should now be put up to the Secretary of State showing the present membership of the Committee which the Secretary of State could then approve by initialling the minute, and that this will suffice to regularize the appointments of members. I have put a note to the Secretary of State opposite.\n\nWhen the present membership of the Committee has been regularized, further consideration should be given to the desirability of transferring the Committee to Hong Kong as proposed in my minute of 19th October. Perhaps Mr. Cox would very kindly comment on this.\n\nI agree with the course proposed, notwithstanding the factors.\n\n7.11.46.\n\nI have discussed with Mr. MacPetrie. He agrees with me that since Mr. Morse was an acting member of this Committee before he left for Hong Kong, his appointment should now be regularised as well as those of Mr. Sloss, Mr. Caine, and Miss Ruston.\n\nSubmitted for the Secretary of State's approval of the appointment of Mr. D.

Owing to the fact that the members of the Committee had not been technically appointed when the previous meetings were held, these minutes cover all authorisations made by the Committee since its first meeting of the 22nd March, 1941.\n\n3. As two University members of the Committee Dr. D. J. Sloss and Mr. A. Morse are no longer in this country, it is considered inappropriate for further meetings of the Committee to be held here. Since Mr. Sloss and Mr. Morse are in Hong Kong, and as, under Section 2(3) of the Order in Council of the 27th March, the powers of the Committee may be exercised at a meeting at which two members are present, I suggest that any future meetings of the Committee which may be necessary should take place in Hong Kong.\n\n4. It will be noted that under Section 6 of the Order in Council, the powers of the Committee cease when the Court and Council of the University are revived, by notification of appointments in the Hong Kong Gazette. You will recall that the main reason for deferring the re-opening of the University in time for the first term of the academic year was in order that the consideration by H.E.G. of the recommendations put forward by the Hong Kong University Advisory Committee should not thereby be prejudiced. It was hoped, however, that a decision on the Committee's recommendations regarding the future status of the University would have been taken in time to permit of re-opening in January, 1947. Unfortunately, the Report is still under consideration, and I fear that no decision can be expected by January. In these circumstances, you will no doubt wish to discuss with the Vice Chancellor whether or not the present arrangement whereby the facilities of the University are controlled by the University Interim Committee should be continued for another term. In this event, the Court and Council would still remain in suspense and the powers of the Provisional Powers Committee would still operate.\n\nI have the honour to be,\n\nSir,\n\nYour most obedient, humble servant,\n\nGOVERNOR\n\nSir Mark Young, G.C.M.G.\n\netc., etc., etc.\n\nPage 30\n\nPage 31\n\nW.29446/552 9/46 50m.

Sloss, Vice-Chancellor of Hong Kong University, has been talking to me about the University's finances and particularly the position of the Staff Provident Fund. The University, as you may know, was badly damaged during the Japanese occupation and has not yet been rebuilt. Meanwhile, the University's funds are being administered by a small statutory Committee which has assumed some of the powers of the Council of the University and of which I am a member.\n\nThe capital of the Staff Provident Fund, amounting to £79,000 is invested in 3 per cent Saving Bonds 55/59, the security of which is held by the Hong Kong and Shanghai Banking Corporation, London. Necessary payments which the Provisional Powers Committee have authorized since April 1946, amount to £52,000, which leaves the deposit account overdrawn to the extent of £40,376.\n\nWe are hoping to meet this deficit and have suggested to Sloss that, as an alternative to selling the 3 per cent Saving Bonds, the Crown Agents might be willing to accommodate the University by making a loan to them of, say, about £40,000. Further payments are due to be made from the Provident Fund in the fairly near future, amounting to perhaps £15,000, so that the ultimate loan required will be about £55,000. Any advance would, of course, be charged on the Fund.",

Our Legal Adviser says that there is no legal difficulty in this course, providing that it is not inconsistent with the terms, determined by the Secretary of State, on which the present members hold office, and that no notification in the Hong Kong Gazette of appointments to the Court and Council of the University has yet been made.\n\nNo terms were determined by the Secretary of State in regard to the present members\n\nPage 60\n\nPage 61",

I explained that we considered that the staff of the University who had been interned in Stanley Camp should be treated in the same way as Government servants, that is they should receive their full accruing pay, and in general this policy was agreed at a meeting which you attended here on the 21st August (see para. 2 of the minutes). The University, however, is unable to meet its obligation from its own resources and therefore seeks a grant to enable it to do so. The amount of the grant asked for is the equivalent of the amount that would have been received by the University over the period of the Japanese occupation from the Government of Hong Kong on the basis of the sum provided for in the 1941/42 budget.\n\nRoughly I understand the total income of the University in normal years to be as follows:-\n\nFrom H.K. Govt. grant £23,000\n\nFees 20,000\n\nSterling investments 13,000\n\nLocal \" 5,000\n\n61,000\n\nPage 180\n\nPage 181",

The University contribution in some cases is 20% and in others 15%, and in no case less than 10%. (The average should be somewhere about 18%.) Further, we pay interest compounded half-yearly. But during these years, no money has been paid into the Provident Fund account, and therefore we have to find money for compounded interest. I hope at the end of next week to have a much nearer estimate ready.",

In that case the upshot would have been just what Gloss is anxious to avoid, namely events taking control and leading to the re-emergence of the struggling pre-war university which is neither one thing nor the other, too big and too expensive for the Colony and too small and second-rate for China, and incidentally it would then constitute one more call on our limited £4,500,000 Colonial university allocation under the C.D. Act.\n\nThis whole short range issue merits further thought and discussion in the light of the Admiral's telegram. Perhaps the solution to part of the problem analysed above might be the employment of temporary staff, but you are still left, I think, with the difficulty under (f).\n\nPerhaps the best thing would be to suggest that Sloss should go out there in a month or six-weeks' time, when our discussions are a little further on. Such a visit might be combined with the suggested visit to China referred to under Item 6 below.\n\nBut I have not yet got clear in my mind just what his mission would be in Hong Kong in relation to the short range problem when he got there, and if staff, equipment etc. are to be secured for October it can't be left over until after a visit, and the act of recruiting them seems to prejudge the issue he would be going out to discuss. So I have an open mind on this. Gloss or Miss Ruston may write to you further about this item between now and the meeting.\n\n## Item 6\nThe initiator \"affixed to our first resolution at our first meeting, namely the re-establishment of the University as a first-class Institution on the lines envisaged by its founders but adapted to 1946. There was general agreement last time that, having at our first meeting recorded our desire to see the University established as a first-class institution, we should at the second meeting examine systematically the main difficulties or complications in the way of carrying this out, before going on to consider what range of activities such a University ought to embrace. I hope that, in spite of the distraction that is bound to be caused by the unexpected intrusion of Item 5, at least half the time at this meeting will still be available for examining these difficulties. I suggest they might be faced under four main heads:\n\n(a) Political. Here Sir Humphrey Prideaux Brune, coming this time as a Foreign Office representative rather than a silent observer, will have a view to give. The impression I have personally formed is that the F.O. in all this Hong Kong business has acquired a reputation for a certain timidity of outlook, and Moss has suggested in conversation that Prideaux Brune in particular, though a man with real cultural interests and sympathies, is of the cautious, dry and possibly unimaginative type. He has been a Consul and Consul-General and at the British Embassy in China and Moss told me that before now he has acted temporarily as Ambassador there, though I have not confirmed this and have not an up-to-date \"Who's Who\" by me. But I understand that he was personally in sympathy with the Colonial Office view embodied in the note to the Far Eastern Committee of the Cabinet (circulated to the Committee as `H.K.U.A.C.3`). What line Brune will take I don't know.\n\nThe other person mainly concerned will be Sir George Moss, also a former Consul and Consul-General, who unlike Prideaux Brune has no longer any connection with...",

        "content_text": "# The Present Committee and its Terms of Reference\n\n11. (HKUAC No 3) During the War, the Colonial Office kept the interests of the University in mind. A Memorandum submitted to the Far Eastern Committee of the War Cabinet on 20th February 1945 restated very clearly the approval of the wider political value that the University might have if properly supported, quoting comments and decisions of the Colonial Office and Foreign Office in 1939. The Memorandum was concerned not only with this long-range policy but not less with what could be done to restore the University as quickly as possible to meet the local need, especially for Doctors and teachers. Quoting Sir Humphrey Prideaux Brune, the Memorandum points out that \"up till now it is largely to America that China has turned for help in the educational field, whilst, unfortunate as it may be, Britain is associated in the Chinese mind with questions of commerce rather than culture\". The Memorandum concludes, \"It seems to the Colonial Office, therefore, that from the chaos of war an opportunity has arisen which can be used to establish the University finally on the lines intended by its Founder and prove it to be an important practical contribution to Anglo-Chinese goodwill and understanding in the future.\"\n\n12. Shortly before the collapse of Japan, another Committee was appointed mainly to consider what could be done to forward the \"short-term\" policy of opening the University as soon as possible to train men and women needed for the public services, Medicine, Surgery, and Teaching, especially. That Committee had not sat when members of the University Staff returned from internment in Hong Kong. The Colonial Office therefore decided to add to the Membership of the Committee and to widen the terms of reference to include consideration of both short-term and long-term policies. In this manner, the present Committee came into being.\n\n13. Its terms of reference are:-\n \n| Clause | Terms of Reference |\n| --- | --- |\n| (a) | to make a recommendation as to whether or not the University as such should continue to exist, and if so, the policy which should govern its resuscitation, |\n| (b) | to advise in some detail on the steps necessary to restart such of the work hitherto undertaken by the University as is essential for the needs of Hong Kong, whatever the decision arrived at on the broader issue. |\n\n14.

        "content_text": "## Part V. Immediate Action\n\n75. By our terms of reference, we were asked to advise in some detail on the steps necessary to restart such of the work hitherto undertaken by the University as is essential for the needs of Hong Kong, whatever the decision arrived at on the broader issue. Early in our sessions, however, we were informed that there had been established in London by Order in Council **The Hong Kong University Provisional Powers Committee** with authority to deal with immediately important University matters until the proper authorities of the University could fulfil their functions. We have been kept informed of the decisions of this Provisional Powers Committee and have received the following summary of the action it has taken to facilitate an early resumption of higher education in Hong Kong:\n\n(a) Buildings: The Civil Affairs Administration in Hong Kong has undertaken to push forward as rapidly as possible with the work of restoring buildings. The Committee asked that high priority should be given to the repair and refitting of the elementary Science laboratories, of the Medical laboratories, of part of the classrooms in the Arts building, of an office, and of residences for students and staff.\n\n(b) Libraries: Nothing was necessary here except the separation away from the University stocks of the large numbers of books from other places which were gathered at the library for safe-keeping. The Provisional Powers Committee has not attempted to make good the wartime deficiency of periodicals and new books but suggests that towards this end, the University should seek the help of the British Council and of the United Nations Organisation.\n\n(c) Laboratory equipment: English manufacturers of laboratory equipment have been accommodating to a degree beyond earlier anticipation. It is expected that equipment for the elementary sciences and for medicine will be installed and ready for use by October of this year, and that equipment for engineering laboratories will follow two or three months later.\n\n(d) Admission Examination: To ensure a satisfactory standard of entrance, it has been arranged that the London University Matriculation Examination will be used.\n\n## APPENDIX A.

        "content_text": "## \n### Board should hold its General Schools Examinations in Hong Kong in June and July of this year. \nThe Matriculation Board has been most generous with its help in allowing adjustments in its syllabuses to fit the special conditions in Hong Kong and in giving the Hong Kong University the benefit of its vast experience and of its admirable machinery of examinations.\n\n(e) Staff: Already in Hong Kong are the Professor of Gynaecology, with whom, for the carrying through of certain refresher courses for students who took their final medical examinations in China, are associated officiating professors of medicine and surgery, members of the Civil Medical Department of the Colony; a senior lecturer in Physics who is to be released from Civil Administration duties as soon as the University can use his services, and some Chinese assistants. The Professors of English and Economics have sailed for Hong Kong to reopen the University office and to make provision for certain parts of the teaching. The professorships of Chinese, Chemistry, Physics, Mathematics, Pathology, Surgery, Medicine, Civil Engineering, and Education are vacant. The filling of these posts is left to the action of the University Council when it is reconstituted. Inquiries for suitable candidates are continuing in the United Kingdom. Attempts are being made to fill, at an early date, the vacant Lectureships in Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics, Biology, History, and English, either in London or in China. The appointments will in the first case be for three years, the minimum time for which it is thought that men could be recruited. Long-term appointments are left for the consideration of the appropriate University body when it is reconstituted.\n\n76. We approve the action that has been taken by the Provisional Powers Committee as appropriate either to the restoration of the University or to its replacement by a series of professional schools. With the arrangements it has made and with the staff both existing and under recruitment, it will be possible in the last months of 1946 for a minimum of higher education to be offered to meet the insistent demands of the officials and public of the Colony. We are convinced that no further action can be taken until a decision is reached on our main recommendation concerning the future of the University. While there is uncertainty whether the University is to be restored or not, it is not possible to make additional arrangements for higher education in the Colony, either in the sense of further restoration of the University or in the sense of preparing substitutes for the University, such as professional schools. We would give as an example of the present dilemma the impossibility of recruiting senior staff for the University. Posts, both teaching and administrative, are now vacant. It is impossible to recruit for these posts on long-term appointments until candidates can be informed of the kind of institution to which they would be appointed and the nature and quality of the work they would be asked to do. In the present acute shortage of academically qualified persons for higher education posts in the United Kingdom or overseas, it is obviously impossible, even if it were desirable, to find senior staff for short-term appointments in Hong Kong. Any further development, however, of higher education in Hong Kong, beyond the emergency arrangements already made, depends on the appointment of senior staff.\n\n77. We are therefore unable to suggest any further action that can be taken until a decision is reached on the main recommendation for the revival of the University. We wish to stress the urgency of the need for that decision in the interests of the Colony itself.\n\n| Ref. | Description |\n| --- | --- |\n| HKUAC 7. | Extract from a letter dated 31st July, 1945, from Sir Andrew Caldecott, K.C.M.G., Former Chancellor of the University. |\n| HKUAC 8. | Copy of a telegram dated 30th October from Dr. Gordon King, now a member of the Civil Affairs Branch of the Military Administration in Hong Kong. |\n| HKUAC 9. | A note by Professor K.

Morse were unable to be present.\n\nThe Chairman, on behalf of the Secretary of State, extended a welcome to the members of the Committee and said how grateful he was that they had been able to accept his invitation to serve.\n\nThe issue on which they were asked to advise was one of considerable importance to Hong Kong and to some extent to Malaya as well, and had a definite bearing on China and on the estimation in which Great Britain was held in the Far East, generally. Acceptance of the invitation to join the Committee meant considerable sacrifice of time for a number of those present, probably all - which they could ill afford. Sir George Moss came from Devonshire, Dr. Priestley from Birmingham, Dr. Venn from Cambridge.\n\nThe Chairman then made a few remarks about the membership of the Committee. He recalled that a few of those present had been good enough to accept invitations from the Colonial Office early in 1945 to serve on a small committee with much narrower terms of reference.\n\nPage 31",

Ruston (Secretary) | \n\nMr. E. Burney and Mr. E.A. Morse were unable to be present.\n\n1. The Chairman, on behalf of the Secretary of State, welcomed the members of the Committee and said how grateful he was that they had been able to accept the invitation to serve. The issue on which they were asked to advise was one of considerable importance to Hong Kong and to some extent to Malaya as well, and had a definite bearing on our relations with China and on the estimation in which Great Britain was held in the Far East. Mr. Cox then explained how the Committee had come into being.\n\nSome of those present had been good enough to accept invitations from the Colonial Office early in 1945 to serve on a smaller committee with much narrower terms of reference, which was to have been set up before the liberation of Hong Kong and the end of the war with Japan. Before the Committee met, however, those two events occurred together, and in view of the completely changed circumstances, it was felt that any meeting should be suspended until Mr. Sloss had returned to this country and been able to give some idea of the situation as he had found it in Hong Kong. As a result of further consideration, it was then decided to extend the terms of reference and membership of this Committee, and the present gathering was the result.\n\nThe Chairman then asked Sir Edward Gent, who until a few weeks ago had been in charge of the Far Eastern Department for a long period, to give some description of the background to the questions on which the Council were asked to advise.\n\n2. Sir Edward Gent said that he regarded the Committee as an extremely important body since it was asked to take decisions of lasting value, as he hoped, to the British position in the Far East. So far as he himself was concerned, he had, until recently, been concerned for many years past with Hong Kong affairs, but if he ventured on any predictions or ideas about the future of Hong Kong, his office...",

He referred to papers before the meeting. Bearing in mind the political and economic position of Hong Kong, it was, in his view, important that the University should be developed on the lines laid down by its founders. Referring to the possible future development of a form of municipal government in Hong Kong, he thought that in the next twenty to fifty years, we should have to rely in large part on the \"products of Hong Kong University\" and it was important, therefore, that there should be no rift between them and their colleagues in China. He thought that if the University came to serve only the narrower needs of the Colony, the future of Hong Kong might be seriously compromised.\n\nMr. Sloss asked if the Committee could assume that it was the policy of His Majesty's Government to support the reconstruction and development of the University, having in view not merely local interests but broader Chinese interests also.\n\nSir Edward Gent replied that the policy of the Colonial Office was expressed in `HKUAC No. 1` and reaffirmed in `HKUAC No. 3`, but that if the Committee were of the opinion that this policy was wrong, it was at liberty to say so.

The Chairman had seen him during the morning and he might go off during the afternoon. Mr. Cox had asked him (Mr. Priestly) to take the chair, and if nobody had any objection, he proposed to carry on.\n\nThe first item of the agenda was the minutes of the last meeting. The Chairman said it would be noticed that although it was said there would not be a full record of the meeting, there was one sent round because it had been possible to prepare it.\n\nMr. N.L. Smith wished to raise one small point that on the 3rd page, paragraph 5, Sir Edward Gent mentioned the committee in 1939 and 1937. In 1939 it was a much more influential and larger committee than the one in 1937. Mr. N.L. Smith said that the committee in 1939 under Mr. Sloss took a completely different point of view.\n\nMiss Ruston mentioned one other alteration which...",

At present-day prices, the total cost of basic equipment for physics, chemistry, botany, zoology, the medical subjects, and engineering would probably exceed £120,000. Additional expenditure would be necessary for many articles of special equipment and to make provision for the very large amount of practical work that had been found necessary for the training of P.D. students. The difficulties due to shortage and competition for existing supplies were discussed, and the Committee expressed the opinion that the most likely source of equipment was Japan and thought that the University of Hong Kong ought to share in any reparations in kind which might be available. The Secretary reported that a proposal to this effect had been made to the Foreign Office.",

Morse, Dr. Priestley and Dr. Venn.\n\n## 2. \nThe draft minutes of the last meeting were approved.\n\nMr. Sloss reported that a telegram had been sent to Hong Kong asking for plans of the site of the University if they could be found.\n\n## 3. \nMr. Sloss also reported that Professor Redmond had been unable to get a passage from Ireland but would appear at the next meeting of the Committee to discuss the case for or against the retention of the Faculty of Engineering.\n\n## 4. \nThe Chairman invited Brigadier MacDougall to speak about opinion in Hong Kong on the re-opening of the University.\n\nBrigadier MacDougall said that he wished to plead for the earliest possible re-opening and that in this he expressed the views also of the Commander in Chief and the Governor, Sir Mark Young. It was partly a matter of prestige and partly to arrest the drift of Hong Kong students to universities in China. Even if it meant a certain improvisation, he thought that an attempt should be made to open the University in the Autumn of this year. Many of the Chinese universities in what had been Occupied China were already open.\n\nMr. Cox suggested that as secondary schools in Hong Kong had been closed during the occupation, the number of suitable entrants for the University would be small.\n\nBrigadier MacDougall agreed but said that there were a number of Hong Kong students who had attended schools in Free China.\n\nMr. Sloss thought that it was probable that very few of these could be ready for university studies.\n\n/Sir George Moss",

He also refers to the need for a Veterinary Officer, Sanitary Inspectors, qualified Clerical Assistants and an additional Pharmaceutical Chemist. These are matters for the Personnel Department and in order to save time I suggest that Mr. B.D. Edmunds should retain one or the spare copies of the Report at the back of this file and should consider separately section 1 on personnel.\n\nSimilarly I suggest that a second spare copy of the Report should go to Colonel Darby to consider and take action on section 2 which refers to medical supplies.\n\nMr. Davidson should see the sections on pages 6 and 13 concerned with venereal disease. (In this connection I might mention that a savingram has just been received from the C.C.A.O. asking for supplies of penicillin extra to the Young Estimates for the treatment of V.D.)\n\nMiss Darlow will wish to see the Report generally with its emphasis on the urgency of the housing problem and particularly section 15 devoted to social welfare and relief.\n\nWould Miss Darlow and Mr. Davidson say if they wish to retain a copy of the Report.\n\nI have had a copy of the first paragraph in section 5 made for file `S4/45/4` on which proposals for a new constitution are being considered.\n\nDr. Smart's recommendations in section 7 on the need for a suitably qualified officer to look into the question of food production has been anticipated by the offer to Dr. Herklots of the new post of Secretary for Development. In this capacity, Dr. Herklots will be responsible for fisheries (industry and research), forestry, agriculture, and nutrition.\n\nMr. Sabine should see section 8 in which the recommendation is made that an officer should be appointed to direct and control propaganda concerning the social causes of disease and their remedy.\n\nWith regard to Dr. Smart's recommendations in section 12 on higher medical education in relation to Hong Kong University, an ad hoc Advisory Committee has just been appointed by the Secretary of State to look into and to advise on the variety of matters referred to by Dr. Smart. No action is needed on this section of his Report but I would propose that a copy...",

If that is so, I do not think he should be appointed \"provisionally\"; but I see no reason why his appointment should not be limited to one year. As to this, see para. 3(c) of `(10)`. \n\nAs to the date from which it is to take effect see para. 3(b) of `(10)`, which indicates quite plainly that an appointment should take effect from the date of the instrument by which it is made. \n\nI see that in `(24)` the Governor asked for approval of other \"provisional\" appointments to Executive Council and that approval was ultimately signified in `(27)`. It seems to me that unless these appointments were in fact made in respect of vacancies arising out of one or other of the events specified in Clause III of the Royal Instructions, they were not validly made. \n\nJ.A.

(This question is raised below for Malaya).\n\n(e) Leases and tenancies. The details of the views submitted by Hong Kong are very much for legal consideration, but clearly their approach varies considerably from that proposed for Malaya. In principle, for instance, they are not prepared to accept that absence constitutes a disability, their attitude as to what should be a disability is based on a view of actual circumstances in Hong Kong rather than the Malayan analysis, which is concerned with protecting the rights of absentees.\n\nIn general, Hong Kong's views and needs are so different from Malaya's that it seems as if Hong Kong should adopt a policy and procedure independent of that being pursued for Malaya.\n\nIt is therefore for consideration whether there is any objection to this, and if so, to furnish comments, confirmatory or otherwise.\n\nIt would be useful for Malaya to have the observations of Hong Kong, if only for information.\n\n(Sgd.)

We have also set up by Order in Council a provisional Powers Committee in order to be able to pay arrears of salary and make any new appointments to the staff that are considered necessary pending the time when the Senate will be able to meet again in Hong Kong.

March 23, 1949 \n\nDear Miss Ruston, \n\nI am sure you will be glad to hear that the long-planned ceremony of the Conferring of Medical Degrees by the Emergency Committee was at last achieved yesterday afternoon in the ruins of the University Great Hall. It was an impressive ceremony, in the austere setting of the roofless and looted skeleton of the Hall, but we decided that there could be no more fitting place. About 180 people were present, including many members of the University Court and representatives of the Services and other bodies, both Chinese and British. Mr. Hazlerigg awarded the diplomas on behalf of the Committee, and the Commander-in-Chief gave an excellent address. Tea was served afterwards in the Cloisters, and the Library was thrown open for inspection. It was altogether a very happy little ceremony, and all the comment I heard was most favourable. To me personally, it was a very gratifying occasion, for I felt as I scanned the names of the 33 graduates and thought of their strangely varied experiences during these last four years, that the efforts which we commenced on their behalf in 1942 had at last come to fruition. You played a very large part in these efforts, and I should like, on behalf of the new graduates, to express to you a very deep sense of appreciation for all that you have done. I am enclosing a copy of the Press report of yesterday's proceedings, which gives in full the speeches made by Mr. Hazlerigg and the Commander-in-Chief. \n\nI also enclose a specimen copy of the Diploma which we had printed and of the Order of Proceedings. I am glad to say that the University Seal reached here just in time, and that it was impressed upon all the diplomas.\n\nThe two diplomas of Drs. Cheung Kong Ho and Yap Jin Ya are being despatched to you by the hand of Father Joy and should reach you with this letter. \n\nI am glad to hear that Yap is trying for his Primary F.R.C.S., and hope he is successful. I expect you heard that my former assistant, Dr. Daphne Chun, successfully passed the examination in January of this year, and was the first Chinese to gain the M.R.C.O.G. when she took it last year. \n\nI have been in close touch with Mr. Sloss over the future of the University, and I still hope that we may be able to start some first-year courses in October. It would be possible to start Arts classes without any equipment, and for other faculties (e.g., Medicine and Science) to concentrate on work which does not require much equipment (including extra English instruction) until the apparatus arrives in the early New Year. I think we should meet unusual conditions with emergency methods. If we do not open, we shall lose a good deal of prestige when compared with other Universities in China which have opened, and we shall also lose students from Hong Kong who will undoubtedly go to Chinese Universities if we cannot offer them anything here. \n\nWith kind regards, \n\nYours sincerely, \nLt.-Col. Gordon King. \n\nMiss A.M. Ruston, \nColonial Office, \nDowning Street, \nLONDON, S.W.1.",

Scholarships from a field of 19 candidates. This would complete the 10 scholarships agreed to in (39) on the 1946 file, the first 5 students having arrived here last summer. The Governor now asks that the cost of these second 5 scholarships should be met under C.D. and W.\n\nWe can agree, I think, to make an application to the Treasury on this basis. There should be no difficulty in view of the Treasury letter of 9th December, 1944 at (26) on the 1946 file. It will not be possible to give an exact estimate of the cost until we know with which firms the selected students will be placed, but I think the cost of the 5 students who are already here will be a sufficient basis for an interim grant. If Mr. Harding agrees to this, perhaps Mr. Hammer would very kindly provide details of what the 5 F.B.I. students already here are costing the Hong Kong Government.\n\nAs regards endorsement of the Ambassador's selection of 5 of the 19 candidates, as before we must take the advice of the F.B.I., especially as they are responsible for placing the students with appropriate engineering firms. Mr. Jenkins of the F.B.I. already has the examination papers referred to as enclosure D in the despatch at (80A) and I have now telephoned him and asked him to let us know as soon as possible if he agrees with the selection. He will do so and we can then reply to the Foreign Office's letter at (1) and the British Council's letter at (3).\n\nMeanwhile, I have spoken to Miss Lake re (3).\n\nA.M.

Miss Ruston informed me today that the F.B.I. have now selected the five students and she is therefore anxious that the scheme should be approved as soon as possible so that all concerned be informed and action taken to reply to the despatch at `SOA)` on '/46 file (see also `XCR(85)72` and enclosures from F.O. after on this file). I have accordingly marked this in red.\n\n`ABX Raqus. 20.347.` Mr. Bryant. Please Nos.19,22 and 26 on -/46 and Miss Whyte's minute of 4th June, 1946 on that file.\n\nWe seem to be breaking fresh ground here so far as D. and W. training procedure is concerned. It is proposed that normal scholarship terms should not apply to these engineering graduates and that they should be assisted on a scale comparable with the F.B.I. awards to Chinese graduates. Since we are here concerned with post graduate students who will be gainfully employed during apprenticeship, there are reasonable grounds for departing from normal scholarship terms, but a number of difficulties will be introduced.\n\nFor one thing we have to consider what if any of the normal arrangements will apply. It is proposed to pay an outfit allowance, but shall we also pay, for example, medical expenses and possibly dependants' allowances either in this country or in Hong Kong. These graduates are not particularly young and some may very well have local commitments. These points can perhaps be left over for more leisurely consideration after the scheme has been accepted in principle and the present interim grant sanctioned. A point of fundamental importance which must however be resolved now is the question of income tax. I do not regard the proposal that the graduates should receive a net payment of £30 a month as either practicable or acceptable in principle, at least without a closer examination of what is involved.\n\nThe tax position of these graduates is not, as I see it, analogous to that of normal Colonial scholars. `LC.110/110/452` refers to tel 294 214-3-47 to Nanking. \n\nI have attached a financial summary and ... to cover ...'s `GR1178/1922/32(III)`. \n\n5.

        "content_text": "# Mr. Ivor Thomas \n\n## 10 \n\nI submit application for an interim C.D.W. grant of £1,000 for initial expenditure on a scheme for providing five Hong Kong engineering students with two-year apprentice training with engineering firms in this country. The total expenditure required for the five scholarships is expected to be of the order of £3,500 but the exact amount required cannot yet be calculated. The grant will be charged to the Hong Kong allocation. \n\nThis scheme continues previous scholarships arrangements financed outside the C.D.W. Vote. An account of these is given in the memorandum of application. In order to put the students who will be brought home under this scheme on the same footing as Chinese students brought home under previous arrangements, they are being paid on a basis which differs from that commonly adopted with C.D.W. scholarships. Each student will receive a grant at a rate sufficient to bring his total earnings, including his apprenticeship wages up to £30 per month. There may be income tax complications about this and it is possible also that the Treasury may question a departure from the ordinary arrangements but I think there are adequate grounds for us to try and provide a scheme on the lines which appear to be most acceptable to those who have been responsible for making the arrangements. \n\nA progress report on the work of five Hong Kong students who are already here under a scheme financed from Hong Kong funds, forms the second enclosure to No.7. You may be interested to glance at the reports which show that the previous batch of students are I think exceedingly well reported on by the firms with whom they have been working. \n\nI recommend this application for approval. \n\n1.08W. \n12.5.47. \n\n## 12 \n\nI agree \n1.^. \n15/5/47 \n\nCopies sent: \n\"Kasuny. \nC.D.W.A.C.

        "content_text": "## Apprentice Scholarships in U.K. for Graduates of Hong Kong University\n\n### Application for an Interim Free Grant of £1,000\n\nBefore the war, there was in existence a scheme whereby, with the co-operation of the Federation of British Industries and various engineering firms in this country, arrangements were made for a number of engineering graduates of Hong Kong University to be apprenticed in the United Kingdom for the purpose of further training and experience. Free passages were provided by a British shipping company, and financial aid was given by the British Council and from the Boxer Indemnity Fund.\n\nThese arrangements followed those adopted under the original F.B.I. scheme for graduates from Chinese universities, which is financed by the Chinese Government, who pay return passages and incidental expenses and supplement the wages of students (which vary from £2.10.0 to £5.00 per week) so as to bring up their net income to £30 per month.\n\nAfter the occupation of the Colony, a number of Hong Kong students found their way to Free China, and in December 1943, the British Ambassador raised the question of whether arrangements could be made to send selected engineering graduates from Hong Kong to this country under a similar arrangement to that existing before the war. The F.B.I. agreed to lend their assistance, but free passages were, of course, not available, nor could any assistance be obtained from the Boxer Indemnity Fund. As to the British Council, it had been decided, as a matter of policy, that the Council's awards should be confined to those of an educational and cultural nature. In these circumstances, it was agreed that the total cost of bringing a limited number of engineering graduates from Hong Kong to this country and maintaining them here for two years should be met from Hong Kong Government funds. The Treasury concurred in this decision in a letter No. S. 51336 of the 9th December, 1944.\n\nTen scholarships were advertised, and candidates were interviewed by a panel set up under the authority of the Ambassador in Chungking, but, for political reasons, the Chinese Government then made difficulties in granting the necessary exit permits; months of delay followed, and the war in the Far East was over before the selected students were free to travel. It was, therefore, decided that the awards should be limited to five in the first instance, covering candidates from the Chungking and Yunnan Fu areas, and that further apprenticeships should be awarded in 1946 for Hong Kong graduates in the coastal areas.\n\nFor the reasons set out in Colonial Office letter No. 5366/12 of the 6th December, 1944, it was decided that this scheme should be financed from Hong Kong Government funds and not from a grant made under the Colonial Development and Welfare Act. The Governor of Hong Kong has now requested, however, that the cost of the second batch of students should be met from a free grant under the Act.\n\nThe first five students arrived in this country in 1946 and were paid from Hong Kong funds. It is proposed to award further apprenticeships. An application for the full amount of the expenditure required for five such scholarships cannot be made until the students have been placed with engineering firms, since the wages paid by different firms vary. The proposal is, however, that the wages received by each student should be made up to a total of £30 per month, which also covers payment during holidays and sick leave.\n\n| Reference | Details |\n| --- | --- |\n| 4756747 |  |\n| 53611/12/47 |  |\n| Miss Ruston |  |\n| Mr. Harding | 20/3 in Rogers |\n| Mr. Gills Bayant |  |\n| M.

I am sorry that I have several requests to make and ask for your kind consideration. (1) The Metropolitan-Vickers Co. Works will shut down from 5 p.m., 26th inst., till 7:30, 5th August. During this shutdown and the extra week leave allowed by that company for each apprentice (I am arranging to have a trip to North England and Scotland during that shutdown and the extra week allowed), and any casual leave and sick leave, I understand that the Metropolitan-Vickers Co. will not pay me. So I would be extremely glad if you will arrange with that company to pay me just the same during such leaves, or you will pay me instead, so that I would receive £30 a month without any cut to affect my living. As it is, £30 a month does not mean so much now as it was eight months ago when I took my scholarship examination in Chungking. And the cost of living is rising still, which puts so much strain on my nerves. (2) My income tax for the passing weeks is 10 shillings a week. I understand that some F.B.I. scholarship holders do get their income tax refund by somehow or other. I should be very much appreciated if you will refund me my losses through income tax.\n\n(3) I had spent £2.0s.¿d. for my journey from London to Manchester on the 12th May. I would be very glad if you will refund this amount to me. The detail of the expenses is as follows:-\n\n| Item | £ | s | d |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| Taxi paid from Earls Court to Auston Station, London, (with luggage) | 0 | 8 | 6 |\n| Train fare from Auston Station, London to Manchester | 1 | 8 | 2 |\n| Train fare from London Road Station, Manchester to Sale, Cheshire | 0 | 0 | 10 |\n| Taxi fare from Sale Station to 3 Winstanley Road, Sale | 0 | 2 | 6 |\n| Total | £2 | 0 | ¿d |\n\nAs...",

Ruston,  \nColonial Office,  \nDowning Street, S.W.1.\n\nDear Miss Ruston,\n\n**HONGKONG CHINESE ENGINEERING APPRENTICESHIPS**\n\nReferring to our recent telephone conversation, I confirm that Sir Frank Gill and I have now made our selections for the award of further apprenticeships to Hongkong students. The result is indicated in the attached list.\n\nYou will note that our selections correspond with the findings of the two Selection Committees in Shanghai and Hongkong, indicated on page 2 of Sir Ralph Stevenson's Despatch, No.1025 of August 27th, 1946, with the exception that we have set aside the students placed 4th and 5th by the Selection Committees and have substituted those placed 6th and 7th.\n\nThe reason for this is that both applicants set aside are over age and appear to be too far advanced to be interested in the normal apprenticeship course. Moreover, they are both civil engineers and we find greater difficulty in placing them than in the case of mechanical or electrical engineers. If, however, the Hongkong Government are particularly anxious to give these two applicants experience in the United Kingdom, we will see what we can do, but it might well be that they can secure the experience they desire with Contractors or Consulting Engineers in Hongkong.\n\nSo far as concerns the applicant, No.30, H.K. WATT at the head of the list, this student also is well over the normal age and desires an advanced course in automobile engineering. We are not certain whether we can provide this, but are willing to approach appropriate Works. Before doing so, however, we would like to know whether The British Council, to whom Mr. Watt has also made application, are willing to grant him one of their Scholarships.\n\nYOUR REF.  \nOUR REF.

No.279.\n\n27th August, 1946\n\n1944235\n\nSEP\n\n25\n\n1\n\nSir,\n\nI have the honour to refer to your despatch No.177 (LC578/5/452) of the 12th February, 1946, and to paragraph 3 of the accompanying letter from Miss A.M. Ruston to Sir Humphrey Prideaux-Brune (Reference 53611/12/46 of February 1946) on the subject of the selection from Hong Kong and Shanghai of five Hong Kong born engineering post-graduates as applicants for F.B.I. apprenticeships, and to request that the following observations may be communicated to the Colonial Office, together with the enclosures in this despatch.\n\n2.\n\nThe apprenticeships were advertised in the local press both in Hong Kong and Shanghai. Twenty-four applications were received in Hong Kong, fifteen only of whom presented themselves for examination. Fourteen applications were received in Shanghai but only three fulfilled the conditions of the award. A fourth, however, was included as he did not make it clear that he had not spent the necessary time at Hong Kong University.\n\n3.\n\nSelection Committees comprising the following members were formed in each town:\n\n| Location | Members |\n| --- | --- |\n| Hong Kong | Dr. Gordon King, Chairman, D.D.M.S. and Dean, Faculty of Medicine at Hong Kong University. |\n| Hong Kong | Mr. T.R. Rowell, Director of Education at Hong Kong University. |\n| Hong Kong | Mr. P.R. Purcell, Assistant Chief Engineer at Hong Kong Waterworks. |\n| Hong Kong | Ir. H. Braga, Engineer of the Hong Kong Public Works Department. |\n| Hong Kong/Shanghai | Ir. E.R. Talamo, First Secretary (Commercial) |\n| Shanghai | Sir Robert Calder-Marshall, K.B.E., Chairman, Representative in China of the F.B.I. |\n| Shanghai | Mr. A.B. Raworth, General Manager of the General Electric Co. of China Ltd. |\n| Shanghai | Mr. J.A. Bonnyman, Manager of the Shanghai Dockyard, |\n| Shanghai | Mr. W.A. Ankerson, Technical Representative and Manager for Metropolitan Vickers in China. |\n\nThe last three members in Hong Kong and all members in Shanghai are qualified engineers. Mr. E.R. Talamo coordinated the two committees.\n\n4.\n\nStudents were given numbers in continuation of those allocated at the October examinations, viz. Nos. 20 to 34 inclusive were given to the Hong Kong students and Nos. 35 to 38 inclusive to those in Shanghai. The names and addresses of the nineteen students are tabulated on a separate sheet marked `A` attached hereto.\n\n5.\n\nThe Hong Kong committee sat on the afternoon of the 31st July and the Shanghai committee on the afternoon of the 15th August. During the mornings of these days the students answered a written test paper of common-sense and workshop questions. At the interviews in the afternoons each member of the committee awarded marks to each student.\n\nThe Right Honourable\nErnest Bevin, M.P.,\nForeign Office,\nS.W.1.\n\n/for\n\n65\nPage 65",

No.: Whitehall 1234\n\n### SCHEME\n\nYour Reference: `53687/46`\nTreasury Reference: `S/52892`\n\n17th August, 1946.\n\nDear Miss Ruston,\n\nI refer to your letter of 5th August enclosing telegram No.421 from the Governor of Hong Kong requesting authority to begin work on the Tai Lam Chung Valley Water Scheme at an estimated cost of £5,000.\n\nThe sanction given in my letter of 26th February, 1946 to Mr. T.W. Davies for expenditure of £145,313 on Water Supplies was to cover rehabilitation of the existing plant and does not, therefore, include this new Scheme. You suggest that the cost of the Scheme might be met from a C.D. and W. grant if the Governor decides to make an application. In our view this project would be a suitable charge on the C.D. and W. fund, and we should prefer it to be treated in this way, rather than as an additional charge on the loan-in-aid. There is however the technical difficulty, with which your C.D. and W. people are familiar, that we cannot agree to the expenditure, leaving open the incidence of the cost, since no retrospective expenditure on C.D. and W. Schemes is allowed. If the work is too urgent to allow time to submit the Scheme formally as a C.D. and W. Scheme, it is possible for the colony to incur the necessary expenditure from its own funds and afterwards reimburse itself provided:\n\n| Condition |\n| --- |\n| (1) that the Colonial Office and Treasury are both satisfied that the Scheme is desirable and eligible for C.D. and W. assistance before any work is put in hand. |\n| (2) that a letter is sent from the Treasury to the Colonial Office stating the maximum amount which can be reimbursed from the C.D. and W. Vote. |\n\nMiss A.M. Ruston,\nColonial Office.",

JAMES, ESQ., TREASURY.**\n\n**(11)**\n\nDear Mr. James,\n\nWould you please see the attached copy of telegram No. 421 of the 25th June from the Governor of Hong Kong in which he requests authority to engage a firm of boring experts in connection with the Tai Lam Chung Valley Water Scheme and estimates the expenses involved at £5,000. I should explain that I am informed by Mr. Woodward, the P.W.D. waterworks engineer who is at present in this country, that the £2,300 quoted in the telegram \"for consultants fees\" should be for preliminary trial borings.\n\nI also attach a copy of a letter from Mr. Kenrick of the 5th July (of the London office of the Hong Kong Government) and the memorandum for perusal and return which he enclosed with that letter in original. Pages 8 and 9 of this memorandum give an account of the preliminary investigations which were carried out at Tai Lam Chung Valley in 1938 and subsequently in 1939 by the firm, Binnie, Deacon and Gourley. With the agreement of this firm, it is now proposed to carry out further boring work and you will notice that in his telegram the Governor says that this investigation \"should proceed with all despatch\".\n\nI write therefore to ask for your agreement to the expenditure involved, if the Governor, who is being consulted on the point, so recommends.\n\n**FURTHER ACTION.**\n\nCopy for Mr. L.S. Smith\n\nFor Miss Ruston's signature.",

The main financial implication, namely an additional expenditure of £7,000 per annum, was discussed in my letter under reference and approved in Mr. James' letter S52892/01 of the 20th August, 1946.\n\nThe only other increased expenditure involved in the amendments is that Heads of Schools shall be entitled to a Charge Allowance in addition to salary, and teachers whose permanent domicile is outside the Far East shall receive an Overseas Allowance at the rate of £100 per annum for men and £70 per annum for women.\n\nThe Code lays it down that the salaries of teachers who are graduates of approved British Commonwealth, European or American Universities or Training Colleges shall be at the rate laid down for assistant teachers in the Burnham scale of 1945. The reason for this is to keep salaries within the basis of the scales of Missionary Societies who appoint their agents as teachers of Government-aided Schools.",

We have now had the advantage of discussing the points you raise with Mr. Sansom late Commissioner of Police who has just returned from Hong Kong.\n\nOn the question of the \"high cost of living allowance\" it is true that as this allowance is largely connected with the high cost of food, and as the India Police are to have free rations which the Chinese Contingent do not, it might be argued that the Indians should not have the high cost or living allowance.

Unfortunately my minute was not considered because the file has been in almost constant circulation since that date in connection with the Secretary of State's correspondence with Mr. Bevin or in connection with getting out one or other of the memoranda that have been required. The file is at last available without any other urgent action required on it for the moment and I have therefore again drawn attention to your request for copies of the Report. Mr. Seel has written to Sir Mark Young about this and no doubt will consult you.\n\nIn case you do not remember I enclose a copy of your letter of November 22nd.

        "content_text": "The situation is very tight; something might be made available for H.K. if a way is found. That is all that can be said at present.\n\nDraft is attached herewith. I have made it semi-official because we do not yet seem to be at the stage of a formal reply to the Governor's despatch at (2). It follows the lines indicated, taking in also Mr. Palmer's comments in his minute of the 18th July; but there are two points with which I am not altogether in sympathy:\n\n(a)\n\n(b)\n\nI agree with Mr. Cox that the proposed use of H.M.G.'s grant does not wholly conflict with the Chancellor's wishes, as Mr. Palmer considers it does. I feel Mr. Palmer had at the back of his mind that the grant ought not to be used for recurrent expenditure: but, as Mr. Cox says, the uses proposed seem to meet the Chancellor's terms of \"development and rehabilitation\", which are not qualified, in (44) on the 1948 papers, by any reference to capital costs only. Technical objections may rule it out, but unless they do I think the device proposed might answer;\n\nI rather doubt whether an increase in fees from $500 to $600 (£37.10s.) a year will materially discourage students; there must be few such charges which have not risen by more than 50% since 1941.\n\nOn these points I should prefer to be a little less discouraging.\n\n2. There are also a number of loose ends on the file:\n\n(a) the minutes copied at (8) ask us to bring to the attention of Hong Kong the requirements which a University must meet to be allowed to administer C.D. & W. grants. In August 1948 (vide Gα) Mr. Wallace felt it would be sorely infuriating to send such a communication at the same time as we were damping Hong Kong's hopes of receiving C.D. & W. grants. This still applies, but I have included a brief reference in the draft to the requirements;\n\n(b) I presume there is still money in the C.D. & W. Higher Education allocation which could be made available to Hong Kong if her case was approved; no doubt Finance Department will confirm this before the draft issues;\n\n(c) the last paragraph of Mr. Paskin's minute of the 7th May refers to the need to lay the \"Lugard functions\" before the F.E.(O)C. in relation to the situation in China. This is not the time for that, but it will have to be borne in mind;\n\n(d) paragraph 11 of Mr. Ruston's minute of the 15th July refers to the University's request that the British Council should be asked to provide the salaries of two Lecturers; this must be taken up later;\n\n(e)\n\n106.TB1419.",

Harmon has remained so long without reply. We hoped to consult our Ambassador about this when he was in this country in December. An opportunity to do this did not in fact occur, and we have only just obtained his views.\n\nSir Horace Seymour says that he had not intended to suggest that there should be anyone in Hong Kong to provide direct liaison between the Hong Kong Government and the Chinese Government. He feels that what is required is a liaison officer, preferably from His Majesty's Foreign Service, stationed in Hong Kong and in close touch with the Embassy. He doubts whether Harmon would be suitable as an adviser on policy but points out that Harmon's knowledge of Chinese personalities and his good relations with many influential Chinese might be useful in Hong Kong, and that it would seem a pity not to make use of his undoubted experience in the line of intelligence and information. Sir Horace discussed the matter with Commander-in-Chief, Hong Kong, during the latter's visit to Chungking, and the latter expressed general agreement with what is stated above on the question of liaison, but offered no opinion on Harmon, whom he does not know.\n\nWe agree with what is said above. As regards closer liaison with the Chinese, it seems to us desirable...\n\nMiss A.M. Ruston  \nColonial Office.\n\nPage 160  \nPage 161",

We are, however, convinced of the value of such projects as a vegetable marketing scheme involving the monopoly of the collection, transport, and wholesale marketing of all vegetables grown in the New Territories which, once it has been started, should, we are advised, very soon become self-supporting. Before the war, Hong Kong produced only one-fifth of the vegetables consumed in the Colony. Dr. Herklots' scheme is designed to increase this figure very considerably. Further schemes are connected with the stepping up of production of pigs and poultry, and the conversion of urban sewage to use as agricultural fertilizer. All these are directly connected with the need to increase local food supplies in the face of world shortage of food and of fertilizers.\n\nThis further expenditure of £15,000 for which we seek sanction includes some provision for technical staff. I enclose a copy of a further savingram received from the Governor reporting that he wishes to make a local appointment as soon as your approval is received.\n\nYours sincerely,\n\n(Sgd.) A. D.

Elliott, Director Small Vessels Pool and with members of his staff. Advice of C. F. Hickling obtained and letter sent to Hong Kong asking for 4 75 ft. M.F.V.s and 1 90 ft. M.F.V. to serve as fish tenders.\n\n### Meeting at Palace Chambers\n\nOn 16th February, a meeting was held at Palace Chambers with C. F. Hickling in the chair, R. H. Burt, Miss Ruston, D. M. Kenrick, Lt. Col. Sedgwick, W. Birtwistle of Singapore, and myself. Details of pre-war and post-war staff were sent to Miss Ruston on 18th February as requested.\n\nA senior stenographer is to be appointed to the Fisheries Department, potentially Miss Olive Redwood.\n\n### Colonial Fisheries\n\nOn 19th February, a meeting was held at Palace Chambers with C. F. Hickling in the chair, Hugh Copley, S. H. Deathe, R. H. Pullen-Burry of Kenya, and D. W. Wiles of Barbados, and myself. Problems discussed included films, cooperatives, pond culture, and air photographic reconnaissance of sea bottoms.\n\n### Visit to Torrey Research Station, Aberdeen\n\nFrom 21st to 23rd February, a visit was made to Torrey Research Station. Detailed discussions were held with Dr. G. A. Reay, Director; James Lamont, Librarian; Dr. C. L. Cutting, fish processing; Dr. J. M. Shewan, bacteriologist; Dr. J. A. Lovern, byproducts; and Dr. A. Banks, cold storage. Detailed notes were taken.\n\nIn brief, it appears that Hong Kong must establish small plants costing around £300 each for experimental and small-scale processing for:\n| Processing Method |\n| --- |\n| Fish meal |\n| Smoking |\n| Dehydration |\n| Canning |\n\nIce-making and cold storage plants must be purchased and built as soon as ground near the market can be earmarked and capital obtained. The pros and cons of block ice, flake ice, and pack ice are to be reviewed.\n\nDiscussions were also held with:\n- A. R. Taylor, Naval Engineer, regarding the mechanization of junks.\n- J. S. Grant, representative of Ruston & Hornsby, regarding diesel engines in junks.\n- John Kilgour, New Standard Cold Storage Co., regarding ice-making and freezing plant.",

The Governor has asked for \"the services of a Town Planning Expert of high repute\" as early as possible. My impression on reading the telegram at 1 was that the Town Planner was required to draw up a plan. The plan would be put into execution by the P.W.D. but it would be the intention that it should be worked out in some detail by the Town Planner. This would probably involve an appointment of 18 months or two years. An alternative interpretation of 1 which has been put forward by Mr. Betton, however, is that the Governor has in mind a short visit by a Town Planner in a consultative capacity only who would observe conditions on the spot and make a general report.\n\nIn either case we shall probably have to consult the Ministry of Town and Country Planning and you suggested that this might be done by a personal letter from Sir Thomas Lloyd to Sir Thomas K.

I must apologise for the long delay which has occurred.\n\nYou will see from No.6 that we have asked the Ministry of Town and Country Planning to advise us, in the light of their experience and knowledge, of what is required in the way of town planning advice, whether a visit by a consultant would be the most appropriate way of approaching the problem in Hong Kong in the first instance, or whether a Town Planner should be appointed straightaway for a period of perhaps 18 months or two years to work out a detailed plan of development. We have also asked them in that letter for names of suitable persons for Consultant or Town Planner as the case may be and suggestions as to remuneration.\n\nIn your note you mentioned that the Secretary of State was against paying a high fee for Sir Patrick Abercrombie. I find, however, that Sir Patrick Abercrombie is shortly going to Cyprus to report generally on town planning there, and that his remuneration is to be a fee of 500 guineas plus travelling expenses. These expenses are to be met from Cyprus funds. If the Ministry of Town and Country Planning agree that what is required in Hong Kong is a Consultant and recommend Sir Patrick Abercrombie or someone of his standing, I hope that the Secretary of State will see no objection to remuneration on the basis of that fixed for Sir Patrick Abercrombie's visit to Cyprus. It seems to me that the need for expert advice is just as great in Hong Kong as it is in Cyprus and the cost does not seem to be excessive for the right kind of advice.\n\n## Miss Ruston\n\nTo note the Secretary of State's marginal note above. Would you please take up the question of reminding Mr. Wiltshire if we don't get a reply to No.6 in, say, 10 days' time. In the meantime, we should be clearing the question of a C.D. & W. grant to cover the cost and preparing an application.\n\n21/2 \n8.2.47.\n\nAmm \n22.2.47.",

It so happens that three days ago we had a despatch in reply, saying that the Hong Kong Government have decided to defer a decision on this matter until they have been able to give further consideration to a proposal for re-planning the area in which this and other royal statues were formerly sited. We are not likely to hear from Hong Kong again on the subject until some time after October, in view of certain arrangements we are hoping to make in regard to town planning in the Colony, but we will write to you again as soon as we learn the decision of the Hong Kong Government on the question.\n\nYours sincerely,\n\nW.D.

This is a long enough period of silence, even in Moscow, to suggest that no satisfactory reply will be forthcoming, and probably no reply at all, unless some more powerful stimulus is applied than a succession of quarterly reminders. \n\nWe wonder therefore what progress has been made at your end with the investigations into the possibility of presenting the Russians with an ultimatum threatening unilateral disposal of the ships (Mackenzie's letter to Miss Ruston F 2534/1391/38 of the 2nd July, 1949). In cases of this kind of passive obstruction, if there is the possibility of resolving the matter to our advantage by unilateral action, we feel rather strongly that we should not hesitate to use it. We do not know the whole story, of course, but we would suggest that if an ultimatum is in order the time has come to present it; and even failing this we should like to present the Ministry of Foreign Affairs with something more peremptory than a simple reminder. \n\nWe are accordingly sending no further reminder pending your reply. \n\nWe enclose copies of this letter in case they are wanted for the Colonial Office and Ministry of Transport. \n\nNorthern Department, \n\nFukaluk D 104. \n\nYours ever, \n\nCHAZERY.",
