3.

To metpoints at (a) and (b) above we suggest for your consideration that relevant part of statment might be re-worded on following lines:

"The British side are prepared to make available a sum of SH.K. 50,000 etc. etc. to relieve any

hardship caused to those who, though conducting no part in the abduction of Senior Inspector Knigh

on 14 October or other acts of violence in the

border area, have necessarily suffered in consequence of these events".

also

Above formulation wouldДembody concept of

Taking

ex gratia payments without spelling this out to an extent which might lead to endless argument with

Chinese.

4.

We realise that all this might well look

different when put into Cantonese, but we think there might be some, presentational advantage in foregoing suggestions so far, an English text is

concerned.

6. Grateful for your views

5. Your paragraph 4. We think it would be better that negotiators should they were awaiting instructions without using language that would indicate

where those instructions

were coming from.
