THANK YOU FOR SECURING THESE VERY SIGNIFICANT
IMPROVEMENTS TO SIR S Y'S SPEECH.
2.
WE COULD LIVE WITH THE REVISED PARAGRAPHS AS THEY STAND.
BUT IF YOU THINK IT PRACTICABLE YOU MAY WISH TO SUGGEST THE
FOLLOWING SMALL EXCISIONS:
(A)
FIRST PARA, THIRD SENTENCE. DELETE THE FIRST CLAUSE AT THAT TIME').
( 'NOTWITHSTANDING THE GREAT CONTROVERSY
ASSUME THAT SIR S Y IS WEDDED TO RECALLING THE THREE PROPOSALS
MADE ON THE VISIT TO PEKING, AND NOTE THAT SIR S Y DOES NOT
INTEND TO SPELL THEM OUT:
(B)
WE
THIRD PARA. DELETE THE SECOND SENTENCE ('THERE IS NO SUCH THING ETC'). THE ARGUMENT FLOWS WELL WITHOUT IT.
3.

STATE WILL BE ABLE TO SEE HIM AT 1045 ON 11 REPEAT 11 JUNE. THE
