Text of telegram from

M. Lucas

Hong's desp. 134 of 5 June

We have heard nothing about this, but apparently the Bank has been in correspondence with the Treasury

I cannot imagine what instructions the Governor expects to get. Of course the notes cannot be accepted until their issue has been sanctioned.

Copy to Treasury with a request to inform us as to what has passed between that Dept. & the Bank on the subject referred to.

Draft herewith for approval is correct. (J.M.). 4 June
