P.2
Since we are sending this letter to you by the hand of one of our supporters, Councilor Mrs. Elsie Elliott, we have asked her to raise with you these matters, and in particular to raise the two following questions:
Firstly, by what criterion will your Government decide that there is a desire in Hong Kong for election of members to the Legislative Council?
Secondly, how will your Government assess the views of the community here as to the speed with which such desired changes should be evolved?
We should be grateful if you would discuss with Mrs. Elliott these questions, and others which you or sne consider relevant to the matters we have mentioned. Should you be agreeable, Mrs. Elliott will make known to us the outcome of your discussions; in addition or in the alternative we should be glad to receive your written reply.
Finally, we should be obliged if you would note two facts:
a. It is the general and publicly declared view of those form-
ing our Movement, that independence for Hong Kong, either now or in the future is, to put it at its lowest, not desired, not practicable and not possible.
b. Should we at any time so act or speak that the slightest
embrassment might be caused either to your own Government or to the Government of the People's Republic of China or to the relations between your two Governments, then we would listen most respectfully to any advice which you or the Secretary of State or your Department in London might see fit to offer to us, either directly or through such honest and competent men as may be accessible to us both.
Yours sincerely,
