Taylor\n\nYour letter 20587/1903 July ...\n\nI am writing to draw attention to some points regarding my brother's case, as detailed below.\n\nI understand that correspondence is proceeding with the Governor of Hong Kong, and possibly, by now, a further reply has been received. My brother is entirely dependent on his friends for support, owing to the difficulty in finding employment due to the injuries he received (particularly those to his back and kneecap), which render any strenuous work impossible. His character and references being so good, I venture to think that he is entitled to some reasonable consideration.\n\nThe point I wish to emphasize is that when undertaking his duties as a policeman, it was expressly stated that while he was liable to be called on for duty as a fireman, any injuries he might receive in the performance of those duties, he would be specifically compensated for.\n\nAfter partially recovering from injuries received as a fireman, he resumed his police duties, but under the impression that he would receive compensation. Although he formulated no claim then, he says the matter was well known to his superior officers.\n\nAt the time of receiving his discharge, he was in hospital and came home under doctor's orders - he received his boat ticket, and the boat leaving at once, he had not time to demur or make any claim for injuries received as a fireman, but called his superior's attention to it and was advised that his proper course would be to bring the case before you on reaching home, which he has done.\n\nIt appears to be clear that he is, or was, entitled to compensation, but it does not appear quite clear why, because he again attempted his police duties, he should not receive compensation afterwards, because there is no doubt that it was injuries received as a fireman which ultimately incapacitated him.\n\nPage 908",

This speech contains actual facts in regard to the general situation which cannot fail to arouse serious misgivings as to the adequacy of the steps so far taken to abolish the Mui Tsai system in fact as opposed to abolition on paper or in theory.\n\nI beg to remain,  \nSir,  \nYours faithfully,  \nM.

        "content_text": "4\n\nall the Centres on that night was 732; 528 at Happy Valley: 138 at Central British School and 66 at Shamshuipo.\n\n28. No further special accommodation was arranged in Shanghai for further evacuation and thereafter only a few individual refugees reached Hong Kong—some by rail via Canton.\n\n27. Mr. Barry also supervised the subsequent removal from Happy Valley and Shamshuipo to Lai Chi Kok and the conveyance of the refugees and their luggage was carried out without a hitch.\n\n28. When evacuation was later made from Hankow and special trains arrived on the 13th December, 25th December, 1937, and 1st January, 1938, one lady was accommodated at the old Central British School from the first train, one from the second, and 58 men, women and children from the third.\n\nII. Medical Relief and Welfare.\n\n29. Hong Kong was at the time of the arrival of the refugees in the midst of a cholera epidemic and it was considered essential that all refugees should be inoculated. A clinic was at once established under the direction of Dr. Lilias Dovey who was indefatigable in her efforts on behalf of the refugees. Many of them arrived in a state bordering on collapse, probably due to shell shock; many appeared to be undernourished and the work of the clinic was therefore continuous. Mrs. Dovey was ably assisted by several ladies who are trained nurses, notably Mrs. P. F. S. Court, Mrs. G. H. Bond, Mrs. D. Cuthbertson, Mrs. C. G. Perdue and Mrs. Fairly. Several nurses were kindly lent by St. John's Ambulance Brigade, and by the Health Officer for Schools.\n\n30. Mrs. M. G. Jessiman and Mrs. Hillhouse, themselves refugees from Shanghai, were appointed to the staff as nursing sisters, and later Mrs. Brand and Mrs. Clark. All continued at Lai Chi Kok also. Mrs. G. Fletcher was appointed Matron at the new Central British School and Mrs. Marsden, nursing sister there, where a small clinic was also necessary.\n\n31. A Ladies Welfare Committee was also formed as many of the women were in dire need of clothes and comforts beyond what could be supplied from public funds. Several generous donations were made to a Welfare Fund, notably the sum of $10,000 by Mr. J. H. Taggart. This fund was administered by the Ladies Welfare Committee.\n\n32. There were many willing voluntary helpers and much good work was done in making the refugees comfortable and happy after their unfortunate experiences in Shanghai. Motor cars were lent for trips to the bathing beaches and parties were taken to cinema theatres, etc.\n\nIV. Registration and Organization.\n\n33. The work of recording particulars of all persons who sought accommodation in the Centres was undertaken by a special staff composed mainly of schoolmasters who were then on holiday. Rev. Mr. G. E. S. Upsdell, with Mr. M. G. O'Connor and Mr. H. G. Wallington assisted at Happy Valley; Mr. D. J. Crozier and Mr. D. McLellan at Central British School, Mr. L. B. Holmes and Mr. C. Mycock at Shamshuipo and at Head Office.\n\n34. In accordance with the instructions given in the Secretary of State's telegram of 16th August undertakings to repay the cost of housing and maintenance were obtained from all refugees. A special form of agreement to pay to the Government the sum of $5 a day for each adult and $3 a day for each child under 15 years of age was signed by all refugees for themselves and for the children in their charge. A further form was used at Shamshuipo Camp for men where the charge was $3 only and a separate form was employed in the case of those billeted in private premises where the charge was $3 a day for an adult and $2 a day for children under 15 years of age. Copies of these forms are attached to this report. (Appendices 1, 2 and 3).\n\n35. Some misunderstanding arose regarding these charges and the allowance in respect of refugees living in private houses. The charge for private premises was made as low as possible in the belief that the inhabitants of Hong Kong, who kindly offered hospitality to one or more refugees from Shanghai, did so altruistically, from a sense of public duty, and without any idea of making a profit. This belief was strongly reinforced by the numbers who generously gave hospitality to refugees from Shanghai without any thought of payment whatsoever. The increase in overhead charges in an ordinary household by the addition of one or two guests is not great and the authorized charge was therefore calculated to meet the cost of board only, and the small increase in other expenses.\n\n36. At the several Centres however in addition to the bare cost of food, there were innumerable overhead charges which it was impossible at the beginning even to estimate. There was the cost of preparing the Centres for the reception of the refugees and for reconditioning them after their departure; there were the expenses of disembarkation, of the dispensary and of many other items. It was felt necessary, therefore, to make a charge which would cover all these expenses and would not result in a loss to Government if the standard rate were paid by all. It was, however, made clear that in the event of the actual cost being less than the standard rate, a charge would only be made of the actual cost. At a later date when it became necessary to issue some final bills, the standard rates were reduced to $3 and $2 respectively for those who remained in the Centres after 1st September.\n\n37. When the refugees were about to arrive it was arranged that they would be received in the Happy Valley Centre without question and would be housed and fed for twenty-four hours. Registration would take place and meal tickets would be issued covering a period of a week during which time an investigation would be carried out as to the financial standing of the refugees and a decision made whether further credit should be allowed.\n\n38. This investigation was most competently organized by Mrs. R. A. C. North, who was, however, deterred by illness from carrying out the individual examinations. These were ably and sympathetically done by Mrs. B. C. K. Hawkins and Mrs. D. Kelvin Stark together with Mrs. E. Colter, who, as Secretary of the British Women's Association of Shanghai, brought local knowledge to the aid of the Committee. A questionnaire form was filled up in respect of each family. (Appendices 4 and 5). It is possible that the investigations of this Committee led to some misunderstanding on the part of the refugees, as cases arose where refugees had stated they could only pay some ridiculously small sum and later claimed that as this had been recorded by the Committee they were exempted from paying what they had originally signed to pay.\n\n39. While this investigation has proved of considerable value, the basis on which it was originally organized was erroneous. The question did not arise whether credit should be extended beyond the first week. Practically all those who had funds and could afford to support themselves left the Centres before the expiration of the first week or ten days and found private accommodation. Only those who were destitute or at least temporarily without funds remained and most of the accounts have had to be held over for collection after the refugees returned to Shanghai.\n\n40. It then became necessary to organize a Records Office. Miss Joan Massey (now Mrs. J. Findlay) a member of the staff of H.M.'s Consulate-General in Shanghai, and Mrs. W. Elliot were appointed to take charge of the records and\n\n54",

        "content_text": "62\n\nstaff were employed (a) at the Central British and the three Junior British Schools (b) King's College and Queen's College (c) the Trade School (d) Belilios Girls' School and (e) in the main office of the Department. As I have said above, we may not be able to get a British school until September and it will not be possible to rebuild King's and Queen's College until timber and materials are available and I have little hope of them being completed within eighteen months to two years.\n\nThere were in addition four Junior schools, three for Chinese and one for Indians, and the previous practice has been to employ a European Headmaster for each of these schools. With the exception of the Ellis Kadoorie School, which had an enrolment of about 800, I have never considered that these schools provided sufficient work for a European Headmaster nor sufficient scope for his abilities.\n\nI am, therefore, proposing that in future there should be a European Headmaster of the Ellis Kadoorie School and one European to act as Supervising Headmaster of the other three. Two of these are already working, namely, Wanchai School on the Island and Yaumati School in Kowloon. They are at present in charge of Chinese Headmasters.\n\nWe are at present fairly well off for Chinese staff and have a considerable number of enquiries from our old staff who are now in China, so that, with the re-opening of the Northcote Training College, there should be no difficulty in this respect.\n\nWith regard to European staff, the position is that we shall not be able to use the majority of them at least until September and there are also some whom we shall not be able to use even then. It seems to me, therefore, it might be as well, when those whom we cannot use are again physically fit, if they took a short tour in some of the other Colonies which are short of Education staff. I have reviewed this position very carefully with Mr. Walton and we have come to the conclusion that the return of the staff should take place as set out in the attached list.\n\nAs it will be necessary to rebuild King's and Queen's College, I feel that it would be of great advantage if three of the staff now on leave were to visit up-to-date educational establishments in England and Scotland with a view to assisting in the preparation of plans for the new buildings which we shall require. I made a similar tour myself in 1933 and was later seconded to the office of the Architect for the preparation of the plans of the new Central British School. The results were definitely worth the time that I spent on it in England and the money which was involved in travelling and subsistence allowances. Having carefully considered the staff at present in England and our own requirements, I would suggest that Mr. Crozier, Mr. Attwell and Miss Gray undertake such a tour. I have included Miss Gray because it will probably be necessary to rebuild the Belilios Girls' School, of which nothing but the walls remain standing. Probably Leadbetter at the Ministry of Education would be able to put them in touch with the best schools they have to visit.\n\nIt would also be of great advantage to us here if we could have some indication of those of the former staff who would be returning to Hong Kong and some indication as to when they would be ready to return. We are not yet certain what the position is with regard to the following:- Sollis, Ralston, Richards, Mycock, G.P. Ferguson, Wallington (whom we understood was seriously ill when he left here),\n\n/Miss",

May I again mention that, to write on the subject in a manner that will be satisfactory to me, it will be necessary for me to return to China and obtain more up-to-date, firsthand information.  \n\nWhile I have set out separately some practical suggestions relating to Section One, Items 13 to 16 of Section Two actually refer to suggestions I have in mind in connection with British propaganda in China.  \n\nYours respectfully,  \nJohn V. Braga.",
