(5) How does the Secretary of State see the

future of Hong Kong?

า

I share the optimism of Sir Alexander

Grantham and Sir Robert Black in foreseeing a

good future for the Colony in the years immediately

bisex Counsel's are

ahead. There are indications that good sense is-

now prevailing, and I look forward to a restoration

of good working relations with China to the

mutual benefit of China, Hong Kong and ourselves.

You cannot expect anyone

respecting politician

much less a self-

+

to took 30 years ahead to

a world that could be a very different place

indeed.
