「我們與諾曼第的距離」

二戰結束後，美軍在沖繩及西南太平洋地區積存大量剩餘物資待售，嘉道理兄弟透過其人脈網絡，與美國Foreign Liquidation Commission (FLC) 取得聯繫，希望採購這些物資以協助香港重建。美方規定交易必須由美國與香港政府...

二戰結束後，美軍在沖繩及西南太平洋地區積存大量剩餘物資待售，嘉道理兄弟透過其人脈網絡，與美國Foreign Liquidation Commission (FLC) 取得聯繫，希望採購這些物資以協助香港重建。美方規定交易必須由美國與香港政府直接進行，或透過政府認可機構辦理。為滿足此條件，採購委員會在港成立，嘉道理父子洋行為成員之一。

嘉道理兄弟擔任中間人角色，羅蘭士和賀理士分別在香港和上海協調各方、檢查貨品質量並促成付款。如同許多政府間交易，過程涉及大量談判與協調，進展緩慢。羅蘭士曾寫信給賀理士表示：「我們感激你所做的一切，儘管有時看似吃力不討好，但我深信此事終將帶來正面成果。」

當向美國政府付款出現延誤時，賀理士擔任擔保人以確保交易順利進行。FLC上海專員Johnson將軍曾說：「若嘉道理提供擔保，對我而言足夠可靠。」，證明了嘉道理家族乃值得信賴的合作夥伴。圖片所示為賀理士於1946年，代表香港政府簽署向FLC採購糧食的合同。此後，賀理士還促成了數宗糧食採購交易。

向美軍採購剩餘物資的討論於1945 年 12 月開展。1946年5月，羅蘭士在給賀理士的信中寫道：「整件事進展極其緩慢，但尚未完全無望。我仍期盼能成功。」1946年12月，羅蘭士得知 FLC 已將太平洋島嶼上除船舶與飛機外的所有物資售予中國當局。雖然如此，但可見嘉道理家族在此過程中付出相當的努力。

After the Second World War ended, the US Army had huge surplus stocks in Okinawa and other places in Southwest Pacific available for sale. Having tapped into their personal networks, the Kadoorie brothers established contact with the US Foreign Liquidation Commission (FLC) for the purchase of such supplies for the rehabilitation of Hong Kong. Since any deal would need to be a direct transaction between the US and Hong Kong governments, or with a government-sponsored unit, a Purchasing Commission was formed to satisfy such condition, with the Kadoorie family office being one of the members.

The Kadoorie brothers acted as middlemen with Horace in Shanghai and Lawrence in Hong Kong to connect and coordinate different parties, inspect quality of goods and facilitate payment. As with many other government-to-government deals, extensive negotiations and coordination were involved and things were going slow. Lawrence once wrote to Horace that “we appreciate all you are doing, and though at times it seems a thankless job I have the impression that some good will come out of the whole thing.”

When there was a delay in payment to the US government, Horace acted as a guarantor to secure a purchase. “If Kadoorie gives me a guarantee, it is good enough for me,” General Johnson, FLC Field Commissioner in Shanghai said, proving the Kadoories a trusted partner. The above image shows Horace signing the purchase agreement on behalf of the Hong Kong Government for food supplies from the FLC in 1946. Horace would facilitate several other purchases of food later on.

Discussion on the whole matter started December 1945. In May 1946, Lawrence wrote to Horace, “the whole thing is very slow but not yet dead. I hope it may succeed.” In December 1946, Lawrence learnt that FLC had sold out all supplies on Pacific Islands to the Chinese authorities, save ships and aircrafts. Things did not go as hoped, but the efforts made by the Kadoories in the process stand indicative of their dedication to post-war rehabilitation.

背景

香港，諾曼第，兩個地方看似毫無關聯，但十年前在石塘咀某棟唐樓重現的一本日記，卻令我們有另一番體會。日記作者是民國海軍軍官林炳堯，他在二戰時與23名同伴獲挑選到英國受訓，繼而參與了諾曼第戰役。林炳堯後來定居香港，他的戰時見聞，無意中成為了目前已知、唯一關於中國軍人參與諾曼第戰役的一手見證。

去年，一群香港青年根據日記線索，翻查歐亞檔案館的相關文件、請教專家和訪問後人，結果把散亂的歷史碎片，重組成一段完整故事。展覽「唐樓中的二戰日記：從香港見證歐洲戰場的中國身影」集結了他們的研究所得，今年在香港、倫敦、諾曼第展出。

Background

A diary, unearthed from a tenement building in Shek Tong Tsui ten years ago, became a bridge between two seemingly unconnected places — Hong Kong and Normandy. The diarist was Lam Ping-yu, a Chinese naval officer who was sent to Britain for training during World War II alongside 23 colleagues and subsequently took part in the Normandy Landings (D-Day). These experiences were meticulously recorded in his diary, which he later brought to Hong Kong and is at present, quite serendipitously, the only known firsthand account of Chinese participation in D-Day.

Last year, a group of young Hong Kongers initiated a research journey based on clues from the diary — which involved digging through archives in Europe and Asia, consulting experts and interviewing descendants — and pieced together the whole story from fragmented information scattered across the globe. They then curated the exhibition “Lost and Found in Hong Kong: The Unsung Chinese Heroes at D-Day” to showcase their findings in Hong Kong, London and Normandy.

【二戰結束八十年 End of WWII 80th Anniversary】

在戰後復甦期間（1945年8月30日至1946年5月1日），由夏愨將軍領導的臨時軍政府獲授權可接管任何他們認為合適的企業，目的是加快重建、穩定物價，讓市面儘快復原。費用由軍政府與相關機構協商決定。兩家電力公司均被列入暫時接管名單的公用及半公用事業公司中。

羅蘭士嘉道理代表中電和軍政府進行磋商，積極就企業價值評估及暫時接管所需的財務安排提出不同方案，由於接管屬短期措施，方案以簡單直接為原則。軍政府擁有工場、物料及優先獲取替換零件的權限等資源，臨時接管能助兩電以較低成本完成維修工作，從而減輕納稅人的負擔。

政府和私人企業不容易意見一致，但戰後初期各方以香港復常為共同目標，力求合作。羅蘭士強調，政府與私人企業是站在同一陣線，而非彼此對立。公司並非以商業協議的方式與政府談判，意圖從中獲取最大利益，而是希望透過合作協議，盡快讓香港重回正軌。

經過多輪討論，兩家公司與軍政府簽訂為期六個月的協議，同意自1945年9月1日起為軍政府營運，並可選擇延長協議期限。在此期間，使用廠房設備期間不會計算折舊，但軍政府須承諾將所使用或運作的公司廠房、機器及建築物復原至合理狀況。軍政府須支付租金按兩公司於1941年12月6日的總市值按年4%計算。

兩家電力公司於1946年6月15日恢復商業運作。

圖示：臨時接管兩家電力公司及其他企業的租金方案

During the rehabilitation period (30 August 1945 to 1 May 1946), the Military Administration under the leadership of Admiral Cecil Harcourt was given the power to take over any undertaking at a cost to be agreed with the entities, in order to speed up reconstruction and stablise prices. The two power companies were among the list of utility and semi-utility companies to be temporarily taken over.

Lawrence Kadoorie represented CLP to discuss with the Military Administration. He proposed different schemes to ascertain the value of the businesses and the finance of such temporary takeover. Simplicity was the principle due to its short-term nature. It was hoped that the Military Administration with the facilities at their disposal – workshops, material and priorities for obtaining necessary replacements – could effect the repairs far more cheaply than the companies could, thereby costing the taxpayer less.

It has never been easy for government and private enterprises to see eye to eye. But for the shared goal of Hong Kong’s recovery, all parties worked their best to be cooperative. Lawrence stressed that government and the companies were on the same side, not one against the other. The companies were not negotiating a commercial agreement with a view to obtaining all they could out of government but were cooperating in an agreement to put Hong Kong back on its feet as soon as possible.

After much discussion, two companies agreed to be operated for the Military Administration for a period of six months from 1 September 1945, with option of renewal for a further period. During the period no depreciation were to be charged for use of plant, but the Military Administration would undertake to rehabilitate their plant, machinery and buildings to a reasonable condition. The agreed rental payable by the Military Administration for the use of the companies’ system was 4 percent per annum on the total market value of their shares as on 6 December 1941.

The two electric companies would return to commercial operation on 15 June 1946.

【二戰結束80周年 End of WWII 80th Anniversary】

第二次世界大戰為包括香港在內的許多地方帶來極大破壞。二戰結束八十年，我們將會在這幾星期分享我們庫藏中戰後香港復蘇相關的檔案。這些檔案揭示了香港復蘇過程中面臨的處境、迫在眉睫的議題及優先考慮的事項。系列首篇聚焦於嚴峻的糧食短缺問題。

羅蘭士嘉道理於 1946 年受臨時軍政府總司令夏慤爵士邀請加入其諮詢委員會，米糧供應與人口問題為討論議題之一。隨著日佔時期離港人士回流，以及從鄰近廣東省因飢荒而湧入的人口，每月估計有 10至 15 萬人進入香港。香港的米糧儲備能否承受持續的人口增長？如委員會另一成員羅文錦所言，整個問題充滿了「如果」。香港的陸地邊界一向暢行無阻，政府無法掌握確切的人口數字，華南地區的米糧情況亦不穩定，算式上的每個數字都是變數，要準確評估米糧供應充足與否近乎不可能。

經過一番辯論後，委員會決定就糧食配給資格設限，僅對當時已登記的居民配給米糧和麵粉，停止接受新登記，除非新申請人士為常住居民，委員會將另設工作小組籌備落實細節。政府強調，此項措施並非就香港入境設限，而是為了保障已在港人士。雖然我們的庫藏中沒有該小組的檔案，但如何界定常住居民牽涉的肯定不止糧食配給，更是更複雜的居留與公民身份問題。

The Second World War put many places, including Hong Kong, in a devastating state. To commemorate the 80th year of its end, we will be sharing select archives about Hong Kong’s postwar recovery in the few weeks to come. These archives shed light on the challenging circumstances, pressing issues and priorities in the rehabilitation of Hong Kong. First in the series and matter of grave concern then is food shortage.

The problem of rice supply and population was discussed in the Commander-in-Chief’s Consultative Council, in which Lawrence Kadoorie was invited to join by Sir Cecil Harcourt in 1946. With the return of people who had left Hong Kong during the Japanese Occupation and influx from the adjacent Guangdong Province due to famine there, it was estimated that between 100,000 and 150,000 people were entering Hong Kong per month. Could Hong Kong’s rice stock be able to feed the endless stream of people arriving in the city? As Lo Man-kam, member of the Consultative Council, rightly put it: the whole problem is full of “ifs”. Hong Kong’s land border had historically been rather porous. The government did not have the exact figures for the population size. Rice situation in South China fluctuated too. It was a hopeless task to work out precisely how many people could be fed and for how long.

After much debate, the Administration decided to refuse to accept further registration for rice rations after a certain date, unless they were ‘bona fide residents’. Ex*****on details to be worked out by a small committee. The Administration maintained that such restriction was not imposed to prevent people from entering but to safeguard the people already there. Although we do not have records of such committee in our holdings, how to define ‘bona fide residents’ certainly entailed a more complex issue of residency and citizenship beyond food rationing.

夏日熱辣辣 好熱好熱

1930年代的香港，海水浴越趨流行。1935年，淺水灣麗都正式開幕，取代沿岸供季節性租用的棚屋。

麗都提供的全方位海灘俱樂部服務涵蓋日光浴、跳舞、餐飲及休閒活動，一應俱全，不僅能讓市民盡享海濱之樂，更開拓了將香港海岸線的魅力，轉化為多元娛樂體驗的潛能。

Summertime is beach time 🏝️🍹⛱️ 🌅 🌊

Hong Kong in the 1930s saw the increasing popularity of sea bathing. The Repulse Bay Lido, a full-service beach club, was opened in 1935 to replace the matsheds for seasonal rental that had sprung up along the shore.

The Lido provided all the amenities required for sunbathing, dancing, dining and relaxation. Not only did it offer the public the opportunity to enjoy the pleasures of the seashore, but it also unlocked the entertainment potentials of Hong Kong’s gorgeous coastline.
