HONG KONG: FUTURE SCHOLARSHIPS

1. I am responsible for the delay in/submitting a reply from you to Francis Cornish's letter of 11 October as amplified in
James Smith-Laittan's letter of 5 November.

The attached note from Ms Moore reflects my scepticism
about this idea. I have re-drafted the letter from you to Mr
Cornish in order to pose him a number of questions. In short, my own view is that we should resist the Council's efforts to draw us into an early commitment to what is still an untested
project. Given the scarcity of our scholarship resources I do not think that we should commit ourselves to putting so many eggs in this future basket. Hong Kong's three Universities already turn out a large volume of high quality
candidates. I would take a good deal of persuading that we would be right to put up to half our annual total into graduates from the MTC.
