sir.
I am directed by Earl Curzon of Kedleston to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of the 16th instant in which you express the hope of the London Chamber of Commerce that His lajesty's Government will urge upon the Chinese and Japanese Governments the necessity of expelling from their respective territories all enemy subjects without delay.
Lord Curzon desires me to state in reply, that negotiations have been proceeding recently at "eking with this ed in view, and that the Chinese Govern- ment have now agreed in principle to repatriate all enery subjects from China with certain unimportant
exceptions.
Arrangements to curry this agreement into effect are being made by the Government Departments interested.
I al, etc.,
