I agree with Mr. Hurray that we should not jog the
Governor's elbow further at the moment.
2.0.0. telegram No. 4sists
of July puts the onus squarely on his to recommend any
premature releases if he thinks this can safely be done (from his
point of view).
2. You will note that the penultimate prisoner is due out on
12 September and thereafter there is a gap of three weeks before
is released. In the light of any Chinese reaction
to the release of the first ten prisoners we should then review
the situation.
3. It is, I suppose, possible that the Chinese will take the
/opportunity
