In common with every part of the British Commonwealth of nations, the Colony of Hongkong is determined to play its part in the War Effort, Not by any means the least of its efforts is represented by the. Romber Fund. When £150,000 had been sent from this Fund to the British Government, Sir Geoffrey Northcote received a telegram from the Secretary of State for the Colonies which stated: "I am most gratified for the generous flow of contri butions which now total over £150,000."

At the same time, His Excellency received a telegram from the Minister for Altcraft Production: "Acknowledge with grateful thanks further sum of £15,- 000. This magnificent gift is being added to the sunis already received, and boing dovoted to Bomber Squadron. I look forward with pride to the day when this squadron will go into service to bear witness to the generosity of the outpost of the Empire whose make it will bear,"

To date, £150,939-19-6 has been remitted. Approximately £23,000 is still requir- ed to reach the sum to commission and put into service the Hongkong Blenheim Bomber Squadron.

While it Is gratifying to know that contributions flow into the Fund almost hourly, the balance required is still considerable,
