Unfortunately. there is also dire poverty in Hong Kong. the likes of which I personally have never witnessed in the worst part of the United States or anywhere else in the world. Sampans mired in the mud and housing four. six. or eight persons. and filth and disease surpassing description are found within 500 yards of beautiful homes owned by successful businessmen. Within a mile of the colonys impressive business center are hillsides containing ramshackle huts housing thousands of Chinese refugees. Although the government of the colony has made progress in refugee relocation by the development of public refugee housing centers. several of which I visited. the major problems posed by the refugee influx must still be resolved. In the course of my stay. I spoke with several officials. in addition to representatives of private orgamzations. including Roman Catholic and Lutheran missions.
