Dear Gent,
1945.

Your letter No. 54145/2/45 of
April 19th.
I think there will almost certainly
be difficulties about both the
questions raised, i.e. the grant of
exit permits and the setting up in
China of a branch office of the Hong
planning
But I see no reason why
Kong/ unit.
Sansom should not consult the Ambassador
about both of them and I have therefore
no comments on your draft telegram to
If and when it is approved,
Calcutta.
will you please let me know, as I think
I ought to warn Seymour by telegram
that Sansom will be approaching him on
the points in question?
You ly enly
Apiel 21
