With reference to your letter No.32287/1920 of July
15th, relative to the procedure to be adopted in connection
with the repatriation of Distressed British subjects from
Saigon, I am directed by Earl Curzon of Kedleston to state,
for the information of the Secretary of State for the
Colonies, that he has caused instructions in the sense of your
letter of June 19th to be issued to His Majesty's Consul
at Saigon.
I am to add, however, that if, as appears to be the
case, the Colonial Office is unable to accept liability for
repatriation expenses incurred in cases where His Majesty's
Consul has good grounds for supposing the applicant to be
a Colonial Subject, Lord Curzon may have to cause relief to be
withheld in all such cases pending a reference to the Colony
concerned.
Such instructions would inevitably involve considerable
delay and possibly additional expense in the repatriation of
Colonial Subjects.
I am
e Under Secretary of State, Colonial Office.
Sir
Your most obedi ent
humble Servant,
7.4.û. Butler.
