Get
I am directed by Earl Curzon of Kedleston
to transmit to you herewith copy of a letter from the Portuguese Chargé d'Affaires to His Majesty's Representative at Paris relative to the shipment of
war material ordered by the Government of Macao from
Hotchkiss and Company.
I am to state that there is no objection to the
shipment of these arms and to request that you will
send suitable instructions to the Governor of Hong-
Kong to accord facilities in this respect.
I am to add however that it would be advisable
to cover such instructions by a "caveat" to the effect that the transhipment should be carried out as unobtrusively as possible in order that the Chinese Government may not have any opportunity for
argument/
Under Secretary of State,
Colonial Office.
