8. ! HOPE HONG KONG WILL MAKE ALLOWANCE FOR UNHCR'S DIFFICULTIES. THEY ARE A LONG WAY SHORT OF RECEIVING PLEDGES FOR THEIR 1973 TARGET OF US DOLLARS 115 MILLION FOR THE GENERAL PROGRAMME. NOT COUNTING THE SPECIAL PROCRAMMES. THERE ARE MANY CLAIMS ON THEIR RESOURCES, FOR EXAMPLE, FROM AFRICA. I THINK THAT THE OFFER TO PRODUCE DETAILED PROPOSALS IN TIME FOR THE COVERNOR'S VISIT IS ONE WE SHOULD WELCOME.
