1. We need to comment quickly on Peking Telegram Numbers 398 and 402
which crossed our Telegram Number 505 to Hong Kong. I think that the
tactics proposed by Peking would allow us one further chance to get
the Chinese to back down without a serious risk of a row, and we
should let them try it. I submit a draft telegram.

2. I do not know whether anything on this arose between Sir E Youde
and Ambassador Ke Hua last night. If so, you may wish to add something
to the telegram.
