Kai Tak

19.

Invited by Mr. Stewart to put forward any other points, Mr. Gordon

said that Hong Kong felt a bit aggrieved over Kai Tak, especially

because the U.K. controlled the landing rights. Mr. Stewart said that

the U.K. had to watch very carefully any investment' abroad and though

our economy had, made progress, we were not yet able to relax.

Nevertheless he did not rule out a contribution and the matter would be

looked at again next year. Mr. Herries speaking as the general agent

of BOAD, said that Hong Kong could not help but notice that Singapore

and Malaysia, and even Indonesia, received aid, while Hong Kong received

nothing. Even a small gesture would have a great impact.
