29th May, 1967.

This picture of our magnificent harbour with the commercial heart of Hong Kong in the foreground and the industrial areas of the Kowloon peninsula beyond, was taken while the world was told of riots and dis- orders in this British Colony.

However, the majority of Hong Kong's four million people worked normally and will continue to do so.

We emphasize this as many exaggerated reports spread about the recent disturbances. These statements may have led some of our competitors into thinking the future might be easier for them. We are sorry they will be disappointed.

Our business continues to grow as witnessed by the 23 per cent rise in Hong Kong overall trade for the first four months of this year. We anticipate growth will be maintained.

It pays to trade with Hong Kong.

We know you agree.
