of Empire products, the service of Empire products in all clubs, hotels and restaurants, and special Church services. Below

is printed a copy of the letter received by Lady Peel from Mr. Florence Amery, wife Mr. L. M. S. Amery, former Secretary of State for the Colonies, who la the guiding light in England of the project, in which she asks for the co-operation of Hongkong, and sets out the aims of the movement.
