+FOR HONG KONG AS A WHOLE, FACING AN OUTSIDE WORLD OF INCREASING COMPLEXITY, THERE CAN BE NO DIVISIONS OF INTEREST.
+FOR HONG KONG AS A WHOLE FACING INTERNAL PROBLEMS OF GREAT MAGNITUDE AND COMPLEXITY THERE CAN BE NO DIVISION OF INTEREST, NO FRAGMENTATION OF GOVERNMENT.
+WE MUST HAVE A COMPREHENSIVE APPROACH TO ALL OUR COMMON REQUIREMENTS OF +FOOD, HOMES AND WORK+, TO OUR SOCIAL PROBLEMS AND THE NEED TO PROVIDE EDUCATION AND MEDICAL SERVICES AS EVENLY AS POSSIBLE THROUGHOUT THE COMMUNITY.
+ BUT THE PROBLEMS CREATED BY PRESENT DAY SOCIETY AND THE ENVIRONMENT OF OUR NEW COMMUNITIES ALSO REQUIRE MORE LOCAL ISED ADVICE AND SOLUTION.
+WE MUST ENCOURAGE PEOPLE TO COME FORWARD NOT TO TAKE THE PLACE OF EXISTING ORGANISATIONS, SUCH AS THE RURAL COMMITTEES, WHO CONTINUE TO PROVIDE VALUABLE SERVICE IN THEIR PARTICULAR AREA OF RESPONSIBILITY, BUT SO THAT WE CAN GET AT THE ROOT OF THE PROBLEMS OF THE PEOPLE LIVING IN OUR NEW TOWNS AND COMMUNITIES.+
