30 FORER OFFICE. S.W.1.
28th October 1922.
I am directed by the Marquess Curzon of Kedleston to
acknowledge the receipt of your letter No. 49484/22 of the
13th instant, enclosing a despatch from the officer administering
the Government of Hongkong, regarding the China. Arme Embargo.
2.
Having regard to the fact that the other powers do not
prohibit the export from their dominions to China of the sub-
stances mentioned in the list attached to that despatch, the
Secretary of State is of the opinion that it is not necessary in
the present circumstances to prohibit their export to China from
Hongkong.
3.
It is observed that the export of aircraft of all kinde
to China from Hongkong is absolutely prohibited. In this
connection, I am to inform you that at their recent discussion
regarding the Arms Embargo the Corps Diplomatique at Peking could only agree, so far as aircraft is concerned, to recommend the prohibition of the export to China of aircraft other than
commercial aircraft.
:
The Under Secretary of State,
Colonial Office.
I am,
Sir,
Your obedient Servant,
J. Gellery
