"We in Hong Kong," said His Excellency, "have watched with sympathy and admiration the manner in which you, Marshal Li - have grappled with the immense difficulties confronting you. You have already done much to destroy the menace of Communism and Bolshevism and to curb the tyranny of labour in Liang Kwang provinces. You have understood how true is the friendship which exists in this Colony for Kwangtung; and you have shown yourself to be a real friend of Hong Kong."

Sir Cecil Clementi emphasised that the British aims and aspirations could be summed up in the one word

*^security."

Eliminate piratte and brigands, put an end to civil war. ned there need no longer be any clamon: about ' unequal trenties,* imperialism' and other meaningless albgams of Communist pro- paganda."

Marshal & Trai Hsin in här reply said that the economic interests of Hong Kong and Canton are interdependent like two wheels of a vehicle. Wo Chinese cherish an urgent hope that China will be able to enter inte good terms with, and be treated GR a basis of equality and reciprocity among the family of nations.
