...DALADAL
OF
STATE
FOR
443
23 December,1924.
My dear Amery,
I have considered your letter of the 18th
instant regarding Hong Kong's offer of £250,000 towards
the cost of enlarging the Singapore Base. Before I
can reply to the point whether military contribution is
leviable on this sum I would like to know what my rights
in the matter are, and before I can be certain on this
question I want to mow how the mulley was earned and
during what year it was received - perhaps you would
inform me on these points.
The Rt. Hon.L.C.M.S. Amery, M.P.
Yours sincerely,
JH
