Following for C.H. Sansom personal from MacDougall,
In connection with ear-
marking Hong Kong Chinese Govern-
ment Servants at present in China
for duty in Hong Kong when
required or for special training
in India or elsewhere, previous
to the actual occupation of the
Colony there may be difficulties
in securing the necessary exit
permits from the Chinese
Government.
This would apply
particularly to trained personnel
such as doctors, nurses, dressers
who may be directly connected
with the war effort in China.
Among other categories of Hong
Kong Civil Servants whom we wish
to pull out for service in Hong
Kong are police and clerical
officers. I am anxious if
possible to secure an advance
assurance from the Chinese
authorities that these Chinese
Hong Kong Civil Servants now in
China will be granted exit
permits when they are required
