Your telegram No. 170,
To avoid confusion I propose to reserve my
observations until I receive repetition of Governor
of Hong Kong's reply to Colonial Office telegram.
Disbandment of General Lung's troops at Canton
may afford us some useful material. I have suggested
to Govemor that he should consult Consul General
at Canton who had wide experience of Chinese
emigration in South Africa.
