ADDRESSED TO FCO TELNO. 621 OF 14 OCTOBER.
PERSONAL FOR MURRAY,
MY TELNO. 620.
MY TELEGRAM UNDER REFERENCE DEPLOYS THOSE ARGUMENTS
AGAINST A TOUGHER POLICY IN HONG KONG WHICH ARE STRICTLY
PROPER FROM THIS POST AND CONFINES ITSELF TO THE EFFECT
OF SUCH A POLICY ON THE RELEASE OF BRITISH SUBJECTS,
THERE ARE OTHER WIDER CONSIDERATIONS WHICH
I HAVE OMITTED, IN SOME CASES BECAUSE I DO NOT WISH
TO PROVOKE ALTERCATION WITH THE HONG KONG GOVERNMENT.
THESE ARE SET OUT IN MY LETTER TO YOU OF 7
OCTOBER AND I HOPE THAT THEY CAN BE FULLY
TAKEN INTO ACCOUNT WHEN THE TALKS WITH THE GOVERNOR TAKE
PLACE.
