N. B.: Is the Labour Government really lacking itself with talented politicians who can help to re-build up the war- torn British Empire? Or, that might be possibly answered by the dwindling of her powers all over its satelite states.
Letters To The Editor LORD SHEPHERD'S VISIT
Sir,-Lord Shepherd's visit raised all our hopes; the results have dashed them to the ground.
I conclude that Hongkong is ruled by a vacuum. No one can take decisions. We have too many people coming to 'look and learn'. We badly need some- one to take executive decisions; someone from our mother coun- try who has the power courage to tell our administra- tors what to do now and lay the guidelines for the future.
and
Now that Lord Shepherd has done his stint of 'look and learn' I appeal to him next time he comes to action. Our
take constructive
administrators are
good but they are employed civil servants and are not the people to take executive and policy decisions.
People here think the U.K. Government decide our policies. The U.K. Government say we rule ourselves and they
and they just "help". Governors come and go. Committees masticate.
The music goes round and round, faint and remote to the simple overworked man in the crowded tenement.
I say stop the music and give. us someone, anyone, with the guts to take decisions and get things moving, fast.
M.R.
