I WELCOME THE PRIME MINISTER'S DECISION TO INCLUDE CANTON. AN EARLY DEPARTURE FROM SHANGHAI WILL ALLOW AN HOUR OR SO FOR MEETINGS IN THE LATE MORNING IN CANTON. OFFENCE WOULD, HOWEVER BE TAKEN IF THE PRIME MINISTER DID NOT STAY FOR LUNCH. THIS NEED NOT CAUSE TOO LATE AN ARRIVAL IN HONG KONG. THE CHINESE ARE
ACCUSTOMMED TO LUNCHING EARLY. WE COULD ASK FOR IT TO BE SET FOR NOON
?
WITH THE AIM OF LEAVING DIRECTLY FROM THE LUNCHEON VENUE TO THE ALRPORT AROUND 1.30PM. THIS WOULD GIVE AN RRIVAL TIME IN HONG KONG
AROUND 2.30PM.
