Your tel. No. 641.

Kowloon Disturbances.

I have discussed the latest situation and

your telegram with Commonwealth Secretary. May I

all say at once how concerned we/are that attack now

seems to be concentrating on you, and how very

much we admire the calm spirit in which you are

meeting it (your telegram No. 650).

2.

We are most grateful for your thoughts on the

longer term problems and entirely agree that they

will need very serious thought.

3.

all

We entirely agree that all these matters both long term and immediat

need personal discussion. Of course you cannot

leave your post at present and we recognise the

difficulties in the way of a Ministerial visit.

But we are anxious to arrange talks with you as

soon as possible and it has been decided that

Galsworthy, Carter and Bolland (F.O.) should fly

out tomorrow (20 May) by BOAC flight BA.922

arriving Hong Kong 16.00 hours on Sunday.

We

hope this will be convenient, to you and they

all the hel give you

will

If they can.
