NOTE FROM HIS EXCELLENCY DOCTOR WANG SHIH-CHIEH TO HIS
MAJESTY'S AMBASSADOR AT NANKING.
Your Excellency,
I have the honour to inform you that the discussions between the Chinese
Maritime Customs and the Government of Hong Kong concerning the prevention of
smuggling between Hong Kong and Chinese ports have resulted in an agreement, the
provisions of which are annexed hereto.
2. The Chinese Government approve of the arrangements set forth in the
Annex and, if His Majesty's Government in the United Kingdom likewise concur in
these provisions, I have the honour to propose that the present note, together with
Your Excellency's reply to that effect, may be regarded as constituting an agreement
between the two Governments in this matter.
Dated: 13th January, 1948.
