THE DRAFT CIRCULAR RELATING TO THE ENTRY OF PERSONS OF

CHINESE RACE INTO HONG KONG RAISES NO MATTERS OF SUBSTANCE. IT HAS, HOWEVER, BEEN SLIGHTLY MODIFIED IN FORM AND A COPY OF THE REVISED DRAFT IS LIKEWISE BEING SENT TO YOU UNDER SEPARATE

COVER.

FOR THE CIRCULARS TO ISSUE IN TIME FOR THEM TO REACH POSTS BY
