Paraphrase of Telegram to Sir J. Jordan, No. 67, dated
April 3rd. 1909.
Canton-Hankow Railway Loan.
Sir F. Bertie's
telegram No. 54 of the 3rd. instant.
No result having been reached by negotiations at
Paris ६ protest should now be entered subject to your
concurrence, on behalf of His Majesty's Government
against a step which they can only regard as a viola-
tion of the spirit of the undertaking given by Chang in
1905. His Majesty's Government reserve the right to
raise question of advantages to which that arrangement
fairly entitles them.
