Mr. President. in Hong Kong we are not doing very much except by way of a refugee program. In that connection. we are spending considerable amounts of money. however. As the buildings are erected. we turn them over to the British. who are allowed to rent them. I am told that the rents are merely sufficient to pay for the upkeep of the buildings. which have been constructed by us. The project is a worthy one. and I am not criticizing it. but at the same time it seems to me that since we have obtained nothing from the buildings. and since we have not been repaid for them. they should be rented for amounts at least sufficient to repay the cost.
