With reference to my despatch No. 235 of Vay 25th
1908, I have the honour to enclose the translation
of a Note which I have received from the Wai Chiao Pu,
re-affirming, in the case of Provincial Railways, the
principle laid down that loans contracted with foreign-
ers will not be considered valid unless they have been
previously sanctioned by the Chinese Government.
I have issued circular instructions to His
Majesty's Consular Officers requesting them to bring the
contents of this communication to the notice of British
Subjects residing in their several districts.
(Signed)
I have &c.,
