Addressed to Hong Kong telegram No, 396 12 June. Repeated for information to Foreign Office.

Your telegram No. 643 to Commonwealth Office (paragraph 4).
Has there been further word from Li Choh-Chih since returning to Hong Kong on 11 May? If not, would there not be advantage in re establishing contact with him? In present circumstances in particular, this may turn out to be our most useful channel for explaining Chinese position, particularly on prisoners.
Foreign Office pass Hong Kong.
Sir D. Hopson.
