Charles Barber & Far East American (newspaper) & HK electricity nationalization

Submitted by Mark Clifford on Sat, 2017-07-15 13:17

Could anyone provide information on Charles Barber, who apparently moved to Hong Kong sometime after 1945 and died in Koowloon in January 1973? Barber, representing the Motion Picture Association, was a key player in the attempt to merge and nationalize Hong Kong's electricity companies in the late 1950s. According to a family history, he worked for Hong Kong Electric and later was the editor and/ or publisher of a Kowloon newspaper called the Far East American. - any information on this newspaper also would be appreciated.
