C.R.T.8610/43.
CONFIDENTIAL.
Dear Paskin,
COPY.
Board of Trade, Millbank,
S.W.1.
1st October, 1943.
26
I am sorry that we have not answered your letter of 27th August proposing a meeting to discuss various matters of policy relating to Hong Kong.
As a
matter of fact we agree with the Foreign Office and doubt whether a meeting would serve a useful purpose at the prese
time.
We should, of course,esent
send a
representative if you still wish to
convene one. May I suggest that it would be unwise to send any further reply at present to the China Association's letter of 27th lay.
I have sent a copy of this to
Ashley Clare, Waldock, Lt.Col. Williams Cribbett, and Slade.
J.J. Paskin, Esq.,
Colonial Office,
S.W.1.
Yours sincerely,
(Signed), R. FRAGER
