3. I am to suggest, for the consideration of the
Secretary of State for the Colonies, that it might be
desirable to refer the question raised by the modification
proposed by the Government of India to the Secretary of
State for Foreign Affairs who would be able to furnish a
full statement of the reasons of the decision arrived at
on the point in question in relation to China, and might
be able to give information whether the judicial enquiry
provided by the China (Amendment) Order in Council 1920
has been found to be free from practical difficulty and
adequate for its purpose.
I have the honour to be, Sir,
Your obedient Servant,
JEF
