I suggest the time has now come to put
Hong Kong in the picture.
A draft telegram
is attached, If this is agreed, any further telegrams from Washington could be repeated to
Hong Kong at time of issue,
2.
The telegram to Hong Kong could also be repeated to Tokyo, UKMIS Geneva and the other
posts concerned to put them in the picture as
well.
