but in Japanese Territory, and, as our prosedure in regard to the registration and protection of Anglo-Chinese in
China is not based on any legal or Treaty foundation, but on grounds of expediency and political considerations, we ow presumably make such exceptions thereto as we see fit.
I should be glad therefore if you would furnish no with a report, suitable if necessary for submission to the Foreign Office, on the case in question, mentioning inter alia the attitude of the local Chinese Authorities towards the question of Mr. Teap Seng Koon's nationality and indicating whether, supposing such a course were considered desirable, it would be practicable at this late date to
revive his claim to British nationality,
This despatch is being forwarded under flying seal
through the Grown Advocate's office for any observations
that he may have to offer, and your reply should be
through the same channel.
