5 AUG 1939

With reference to the Foreign Office letter of

May 5th (F.4131/3262/10) with regard to Chinese students, I am

directed by the Minister of Health to say that the Government

scheme for evacuation in time of emergency provides for

certain priority classes only, namely, School children,

children of pre-school age with their mothers, expectant

and

mothers, adult blind and cripples, so far as their removal may

be feasible.

Plans for the transfer of students from the

University of London are being made by the University

Authorities and it is suggested that they might be approached

with regard to those Chinese students for whom a special

responsibility is felt, with a view to seeing if they can be

included in the University's arrangements.

The Under-Secretary

for Foreign Affairs,

Foreign Office,

Whitehall, S.W.1.

I am, Sir,

Your obedient Servant,

G. & Healt
