Sir,
I am directed by Mr Secretary
Chamberlain to acknowledge the receipt of
your letter of the 11th instant, closing a
copy of a note to the Russian Ambassador,
stating that His Majesty's Government are
unable to join in any proposals to the
Chinese Government with the object of obtain-
ing the consent of that Government to the
prolongation of the period during which the
importation of arms, &c., into China is
prohibited.
2. Mr Chamberlain is not aware whether the
Proclamation of 7th August 1900 prohibiting
the export of arms and ammunition to China
is still in force; but if so he assumes that
it will be withdrawn, and that the Colonial
Governments concerned may now be allowed to cancel the
restrictions
