I have received your cypher telegram of thể 24th instant and in reply I have informed you that my telegram of

Liang Shih-yi, Cabinet Minister under the Yuan regime, arrived here some little time ago. He is staying with his brother who has the charge of the office, now closed, of the Bank of Communications. I have entertained Mr.Liang at luncheon and I have impressed on him the duty of refraining from meddling in politics in China, which he owes to this Government for ex-
the
-tending hospitality of the Colony to him.
