Hong Kong Imports
Sir. —Those who object to these parcels would do well to hear the Dean or the Rev. C. R. Sprackett on the appalling conditions of life in Hong Kong. The money sent represents a very small fraction of that spent on local clothing, but means many handfuls of rice to the broken wrecks of humanity in Hong Kong. How can we in this favoured land appreciate what the mail orders must mean to an impoverished people, who are capable of a high standard of workmanship? This private trade is building up goodwill with our Asian brethren. Its curtailment could mean that a lot of "Uncle Henry's” employees would return to idleness and hunger in the gutters of Kowloon, from where he has salvaged them.—Yours, etc., WIDE HORIZONS. October 4. 1961.
