To the Editor,

The "Hongkong Telegraph." Sir, I send you herewith copies of correspondence regarding the ap peal on behalf of my wife which was heard on Saturday, 2nd. November, In view of the publlelly given to the statement made by the Secretary to the Advisory Committee regarding my inability to support my wife, I shall be obliged it you will publish these letters in full.

The "apology" submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee and at once withdrawn by their Secretary, bears the hall-mark with which we are all becoming so familiar these

days.

Sir, On Saturday last, during the hearing of the Appeal lodged on be half of my wife, the Secretary to your Committee in his preliminary summary of the evidence stated-

ictter "On 2nd. August last was received from Messrs. John- son, Stokes & Master, Solicitors, applying for permission for Mrs. Thomson to return on the grounds that you were unable to support her in Australia and yourself here." This was the complete reference made to that letter,

As you are well aware at no time during the hearing did I mention the

question of maintenance of my wife, but unfortunately the above state- ment was given wide publicity in the Press as my main submission to your Committee, and was in some cases attributed to me.

5th. November, 1940, Sir-The Chairman of the Evacuo- tion Advisory Committee has asked me to reply to your letter of 4th. November.

In preparing the notes on your case, I assumed that the words "As her continued absence from the Colony will involve our client giving up his present home and dismissing his staff

” which were used by Messrs. Johnson, Stokes and Master In their letter of 2nd. August, were Intended to imply that your appeal was based on financial grounds.

If my remarks, which expressed this assumption, were incorrect, you were quite at liberty to contradict them. I presume that since no con= tradiction was forthcoming the Press reporters assumed that you nccepted my implication,

must assure you that the Com- mittee has made every effort to avoid embarrassing members of the publie who have appeared before it and that this particular misunderstanding is regretted by all-the members. At the same time I do not feel justified In accepting responsibility for an Interpretation of a letter written on your behalf which you let pass with- out question or comment.
