J!!! I have the honour to enclose copy of a despatch dated
22nd May which I have addressed to the Secretary of State
for the Colonies on the subject of co-operation in police
matters between this Government and the Canton Authorities.
2. The proposals originated in a conversation which
I had with the Governor General during my visit to Canton
and have only recently assumed a shape in which I could
communicate them to you. I have to express regret that a
notice regarding them should have appeared in the Press
before you had been fully informed of the agreement
arrived at.
I have, etc,
(signed) F.D.Lugard
Governor, etc,
His Britannic Majesty's Consul General,
CANTON.
