YOUR TEL NO 132 (NOT TO BRUNE:W): MR LUCE'S VISHT TO HONG KONG 1. I AM READY TO FALL IN WITH MR LUCE'S WISH. HADEED, HIT
WOULD BE MOST HELPFUL FROM MY OWN POINT OF VIEW TO BE PRESENT
AT THE MEETING WITH EXCO ON 27 FEBRUARY. IT WOULD BE UNTHDY, TOO,
FOR GALSWORTHY AND ME TO PLAY BOX AND COX.
2. SHOULD, HOWEVER, BE GRATEFUL IF A PRIVATE SECRETARY COULD
EXPLAIN MR LUCE'S WISH TO MR CHANNON'S PRIVATE SECRETARY BEFORE
MR CHANNON LEAVES FOR PEKING EARLY TO-MORROW. EVEN ON EARLIER
PLANS, WAS EXPECTING TO BE UNAVAILABLE TO MR CHANNON FOR TWO
AND A HALF DAYS OF HIS FOUR-AND-A-HALF-DAY VISIT TO PEKING.
IF I DO NOT RETURN TO PEKING FROM HONG KONG UNTIL THE AFTERNOON
OF 27 FEBRUARY, SHALL ONLY SEE HIM ON 24 FEBRUARY AND AT
MY OWN DINNER PARTY FOR HIM ON 27 FEBRUARY.
