By Dear Derek,
・cope of them?
In case they haven't been sent on ta you from Genes
I melose copies of the Hannay letters which hauled me out of Balmullo and over here at a day's notice. I took the night train to London on Monday and tried without sussess to raise you on phone on Tuesday soming. I did momage to have a session vi Carmen keimmia, however, just before he set off for the South of Frunon on holiday. This was useful, because London üffice files were far from complete and I had a chance to ang ng the later papers an bes.Ü. altnatim from 3.0.\. files. There was në time, however, to get your working papers from Gaceva, so it is as well – as I shall now report - that it truespårød that the thusiasm of ar. Tran had #pparently led his
to exaggerate di Kartie readiness to disɑnAS Bong Kong.
418.
By the time I got hare on Tuesday ovaning, the first day of the session was OVAT, Contrary to what we had anticipated in Geneva, it had moved along at a fair clip mud th OGIɗmenta tion an both the British and the .Ü. offers had been onplated. You will get a copy of John Korris savingrum the session as a whole, so I shall not try to report it here; except to say that if M Martino genuinely was hoping that the U.E. would raise the matter of extension to dependent territories (3 1 of Hamay's letter af 11th July), ke was dimppoin tad. In the course of the V.K. premantation, however, the position regarding Commonwealth developing countries and dependen af DN
that the U.X. offer uns prediosted on the assumptions that self misstion principle would be respected and that Commonwealth developing countries and territories would be empensated by other danezu for sharing their preferential privileges in the V.K. market - vas restated.
n. k.ü..., in the parson of di Bartino, did not rise to this either in pimary or in private. We tried to offer him bospitality but he was kanvily booked. Fone the less, he had opportunity to brusch the mhjert and did not, eo during the clowing somerion today Jolm Horris and I sought bin mai and asked him peint blank if he had say peints regarding Hong Kong to raine.
at if, as Tran is reported as prophesying in 5 of Mannay's letter of 10th July, the subject had been discumeøed with representatives of m ber states, it would be fresh in his mind. No nee nimrly not reidy for subm imen
Ve bad let it late so
