I pose these questions not to be

provocative but to stimulate thought.

I have

been full of admiration for the way in which

the Government of Hong Kong has set about many

of these problems already.

As I see it, there is a need to

anticipate problems well before they arise so

that solutions are available in good time.

I know that your own Governor is well aware

of this need.

Since the war Hong Kong has had a

succession of distinguished Governors. You

may be pleased to know that I saw recently Sir

30.

Alexander and Lady Grantham who were in fine

form.

But I must especially record my highest admiration for Sir David Trench, a farseeing

man of liberal outlook, who through difficult days has guided the colony so well.

It is the responsibility of all those

who hold places in public life, be it business,

professional or any other to support the

administration in its endeavours to provide

for the legitimate aspirations of the people of

Hong Kong.
