For your own information British Chiefs of
Staff have instructed Joint Staff Mission in
Washington to inform U.S. Chiefs of Staff that
military coordination is being effected by the
British Chiefs of Staff on operational matters
and that we undertake, so far as the conditions
of the port allow, to give full facilities
through the Hong Kong area for the assistance
and support of Chinese and American forces who may still be either engaged against the enemy
or involved in securing the surrender of
Japanese forces in the hinterland.
2.
Joint Staff Mission have been
instructed to ask the U.S. Chiefs of Staff
to inform General Wedemeyer in this sense and
to instruct General MacArthur, if they have not
already done so, to arrange for the surrender of
Hong Kong to the British Commander nominated by
Admiral Fraser.
