Re ugees Add to Problems of Hong Kong
PROGRAM NOTES:
Noehren To Present Recital
By The Associated Press
Tiny Hong Kong - a dot on the
world map - is fighting one of
the biggest problems of its exist-
ence: overpopulation.
Hardly able to cope with its own
internal population explosion,
Hong Kong has been hit by ex-
ternal trouble - hordes of refu-
gees flooding south to escape the
hunger of Communist China.
Finally, the government of the
British Crown Colony has had to
make a choice. Hong Kong's pri-
mary duty is to care for those al-
ready there, Colonial Secretary
Claude Burgess told the Legisla-
tive Council.
Crack-Down Comes
In mid-May, with a new surge
of refugees streaming across the
twisting4, 22-mile-border dividing
the colony's New Territories and
Communist China (see map), the
crack-down came. The refugees
would have to return.
Some 55,000 were rounded up by
police and soldiers and sent back
into Red hands.
Some had faced incredible hard-
ships in their futile bid for free-
dom. They had swum rivers, ford-
ed marshes, scaled jagged cliffs
and, packed themselves into im-
possibly small spaces in the bot-
toms of junks.
But to little avail.
Latest Escapes
Initially the latest escapes had
been made across rugged terrain
between two mountains: Wo Tung
in the Red section and Robins
Nest in the Colony. The land is
ravine-laced, with rock strewn
Cliffs.
Then, learning that Communist
guards would not try to stop them,
or at least would not shoot, refu-
gees had begun crossing in two
plains areas nearer Lo Wu, the
legal border crossing area. Here,
in pre-dawn darkness, 500 to 1,000
would flood across in a single mass
S wave.
Some, who apparently had rid-
den the train from Canton, mere-
ly moved a short distance east of
the legal crossing point - Lo Wu
Bridge - and swam the Shan
Chun River. Others forded tide-
lands and marshes adjoining Deep
Bay at the western end of the
twisting border.
Uninhabitable Land
Once across the border, they
found themselves in' the virtually
uninhabitable New Territories
north of the main colony - terri-
tory held on a 99-year lease from
China which expires in 1997.
Here, green lowlands rise to
rugged hills pitted with ravines,
eroded gullies and rocky cliffs. A
small strip of usable land, largely
inhabited by farmers, twists down
through several small villages to
Kowloon some 15 miles to the
south.
From Kowloon it is a short dis-:
tance across picturesque Victoria
Harbor to the city of Victoria -
commonly known as Hong Kong.
A slender strip of usable land
fringes this tiny, overcrowded is-
land of massed hills rising to
peaks.
Round-Ups Begin
As the first refugees flooded
across the border into the New
Territories, guards took little note.
But as the problem became more
severe the round-ups began.
Most were captured within two
or three miles of the wire fences
thrown up by the British a short
distance inside the border. A few
managed to penetrate deeper into
the scrub-covered hills between
the border and Kowloon, and some
into the city iself, where their de-
tection will be virtually impossible.
Those captured were held at
Fanling, where an area for this
purpose was set up at the Police
Traiing Center. Here they were
fed and held overnight for the
truck or train ride to Lo Wu. From
there, they had to walk back into
the uncertain life behind the
Bamboo Curtain.
At Sheung Shui, the only ma-
Jor village between Fanling and

Lo Wu, sympathetic villagers
sometimes tried to slow truck con-
voys, urging refugees to jump and
run. But incidents here were
minor.
Behind the story of Hong
Kong's stern fight to halt the refu-
gee flow lies another story - a
story of a city teeming with pau-
pers, pock-marked with tene-
ments.
It is a story of a valiant fight
by the British Crown Colony to
provide for its own peoples, while
severely handicapped by export
quotas imposed by other nations
upon its manufactured goods.
Swollen Population
Hong Kong covers only 62
square miles of usable land, but its
post-World War II population of
600,000 has swollen nearly six
times, to 3.5 million.
Since 1948, when the Commun-
ists mounted their final drive to
seize control of mainland China,
more than a million refugees have
flooded across the border.
Now they seem to be eyeing an-
other area - the Portuguese col-
ony of Macao - as their haven.
Macao Entry
One report said that refugee
arrival in Macao, some 50 miles
west of Hong Kong, was 300 to
400 a day. The Macao government
reportedly has indicated it will
not close the door to refugees.
Nationalist China, which has
publicly announced that it will
take all refugees who want to go
to Formosa, is said to be stepping
up relief activities in Macao. The
United States has said it would
take several thousand refugees
and the first have already begun
to arrive.
While this may come as good
news to Hong Kong, it doesn't
solve the colony's refugee prob-
lems
No Minerals
Hong Kong's 398 swampy, rocky
square miles have no minerals in
appreciable amounts, and not
enough water.'
The colony's only natural re-
source, say officials, is its people,
and the only way Hong Kong can
support them is to expand its'
manufacturing and increase its
exports.
Industrial expansion permitted
by free access to world markets
would allow Hong Kong to sup-
port a population of five million

Says Congo
Still in Flux
A man who has worked closely
in the past with Dag Hammar-
skjold in trying to calm down the
Congo sees a parallel between the
troubles in Africa and the prob-
lems of federalism which plagued
the United States when it became
independent.
In Ann Arbor as a member of
the Law School's Summer Session
faculty, Oscar Schachter notes
that while the shooting has
stopped, the formation and opera-
tion of a stable government is still
very much of a problem for the
Congo, just as almost 200 years
have not fully solved the United
States' federal problems.
As director of the general legal
division of the United Nations, he
spent "a period of about 20 months
during which all of my waking
moments were taken up with the
Congo."
Sticks Up for UN
Schachter defended the United
Nation's action there.
"It succeeded in keeping an in-
ternal disorder from flaring into a
conflict between great powers."
The organization intervened
only after local leaders' appeals
had been rejected.
Lumumba Rebuffed
He pointed out that even Pa-
trice Lumumba asked the United
States to send in Marines, al-
though this request was "rightly"
denied by President Dwight D.
Eisenhower.
At the Law School, Schachter
has been teaching a course in in-
ternational organization, with em-
phasis on its peace-keeping aspect.

by 1970 -- if the increase were t
such free access isn't likely.
Last year Hong Kong spent
gradual, says the government. But
more than $56 million - 30 per
cent of its total annual budget -
for housing, health, education and
welfare for the refugees already
there.
In the past six years the govern-
ment has built some 200 multi-
story apartment blocks grouped in
11 housing estates. It has resettled
440,000 persons.
But another half million refu-
gees still live in packing board and
tar paper shacks perched on hill-
sides; 800,000 live in similar huts
on rooftops, and an estimated
225,000 live in substandard tene-
ment quarters.
Cramped Quarters
Here a bedspace six by three feet
frequently is home for an entire
family, and an estimated 10,000
to 15,000 persons sleep on side-
walks or stairs.
This year the colony is building
resettlement estates for another
120,000 - a program it plans to
maintain for the next five years.
But the point has been reached,
say government officials, where
Hong Kong no longer can care
'both for the natural increase in
its present population - 91,000
more births than deaths in 1960-
and new hordes of refugees.
English Teachers

Prof. Arthur M. Eastman of the
English department will lecture
