17 Dec 1945, Chronology of Events Related to Stanley Civilian Internment Camp

Both Selwyn and Hilda Selwyn-Clarke are in London attending a reception held by the China Campaign Committee to welcome them home. Also present are Mr and Mrs Michael Lindsay, both recently returned from visiting the Communist headquarters in Yenan.

Mrs Selwyn-Clarke tells the audience that Britian as a democracy should be trying to bring about reconciliation between the National Democratic League, the Communists and the Nationalists not supporting one particular side. She says that Britain must aid China, not through 'the ricebowl distribution' model but by such measures as showing them how to establish medical services. She also calls for Madame Sun (Soong Ching-ling), whose work she praises, to be invited to Britain.
