Dear George,

TELEGRAM ADDRESS:

WORKINTEX, London, W.1 ·

February 9th 1970.

I am enclosing some copies of certain propaganda posters which are being used by our United States affiliates. in defence of their members. This is the very thing that I wished to avoid, but in view of the uncompromising attitude of both the Administration and industrialists in Hong Kong, I can only wish our American friends every success in their efforts.

Perhaps the people in Hong Kong will soon begin to appreciate that my efforts during the past four years have been in their interests.

With Best Wishes,

Yours sincerely,

Jack.
