HONG KONG IN LONDON.—A replica of a typical Hong Kong slum quarter has been set up in the grounds of St. Martin-in-the-Fields Church, Trafalgar square. Made out of beaten oil drums, cardboard, sacking, scrap iron, and wood, the replica is designed as a “see-how-they-live” exhibit in aid of World Refugee Year. Hong Kong is notoriously overcrowded with refugees from China. The foreground material of the sector shown in the picture was assembled in London from scraps. The background is formed by a photograph taken in a Hong Kong refugee area.
