I understand from the Chinese Ambassador
that he has invited Lord Chatfield to be the
guest of honour at the annual banquet of the
China Society on May 3rd.
The China Society is a cultural and non-
political body which exists mainly in the
interests of people interested in Chinese art.
Up till now it has been a rather moribund body,
but the Ambassador is trying to revive it into
something more or less analogous to the Japan
Society. In view of the fact that Mr. Leslie
Burgin was the guest of honour at the Japan
Society's annual dinner recently, I see no
reason why Lord Chatfield should not accept the
invitation and make a speech. The Far Eastern
Would
Department l prepare a brief for Lord
Chatfield to speak from in due course,
