You wrote to Carter on the 19th May asking if you could be
sent copies of current material on the situation in Hong Kong, and
if we could let you have an urgent assessment of developments in that
territory. Carter is away from the Office at present and since I
have seen that you would like an early reply to your letter, I am
answering in his absence.
I enclose a copy of a Confidential paper which was prepared
last week and which contains what assessment we are in a position to offer,
at the present time. I have also arranged for your name to be put on
the distribution list for Hong Kong telegrams dealing with those
aspects of the situation with which you are concerned.
I am copying this letter and its enclosure to S.H. Wright and
Lucas (Treasury), Spiers (Bank of England), R.L. Davies (Board of Trade)
and Cotterill. I an also copying letter with enclosure to the Foreign
without
Office.
