FOREIGN OFFICE.
30 MAR Qarch 27th, 1920.
I am directed by Eerl Curzon of Kedleston to acknowledge the receipt of your letter No. 13915/1920
No. 13 of the 23rd instant, enclosing copy of a telegram from the Governor of Hongkong requesting authority to allow the embarkation from Hongkong of emigrants to French
Tahiti.
It does not seem quite clear from the Governor's
telegram exactly what proposals have been placed
before him. It is noted however that the Governor is
to approve in advance the details of the arrangements
for emigration, and that the emigrants are not to be
indentured, and Lord Curzon does not see any objection
to permitting emigration on these conditions.
It is presumed that the approval of the authori
ties of French Tahiti to the contemplated arrangements
has been, or will be, obtained.
I em,
Sir
Your most obedient,
humble Servant,
R. Sperling
Under-secretary of State,
Coloniel Office.
