(5) How does the Seosataw of State ses the

future of ilong Konsî

I share the optimian of Sir Alexander

Grantham and Sir Robert Black in foresceing

good future for the Colony in the years immediately Wisøy Connecels are

ahead. There are indications that good-sence is

now prevailing, and I look forward to a rostoration

of good working rolations with China - to the

mutual benefit of China, Hong Kong and ourselves.

You cannot expect anyone - mich loss a solf-

respecting politician - to look 30 years ahead to

a world that could be a very different placc

indeed.
