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

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.
