With reference to my despatch No. 137 of the
7th ultimo, I have the honour to transit herewith
copies of a letter from the Shanghai branch of the
June 23, 1915. China Association and of a despatch from the Gover-
Hongkong
nor of Hongkong ræarding the petition of British
June 21, 191bresidents on Shamem for the expulsion of Gerumin
from the Concession.
I agree with the view expressed in the last
sentence of Sir H.kay's despatch and consider that
His roellency is far better qualified to express
an opinion on the subject than the members of the
China Association at Shanghai.
I have the honour to be,
with the highest respect,
Sir,
your most obedient,
humble servant,
The Right Honourable
Sir Edward Grey Bart.,K.G.,M.P.,
