To the Editor of the "Norta-Cuma Dairy News"
Sin—The -description of conditions at the British Refugee Camp at Laichikok Gaol contained in a letter received by INDIGNANT from his wife tallies with that which I just received from my family. Í was further informed that they had just left "that unspeakable place" for the back room of a small Chinese flat in Kowloon.
Is it the idea to force evacuees out of the camp to fend for themselves or is it merely the degeneration of what was the first flush of interest and enthusiasm into disinterestedness and indifference? Whichever it might be, the authorities responsible are reminded of their duty to this distressed community, many of whom may not possibly be able to afford the luxury of a small back room in a Chinese flat.
SYMPATHETIC.
