Sir,
9
NOV 1926 th November, 1926.
With reference to your letter 6-19804 of November
ist, I am directed by Secretary Sir Austen Chamberlain
to transmit herewith, for Mr. Amery's confidential
information, three copies of the Report of the Advisory
Committee appointed under the China Indemnity (Application)
Act,
1925.
From this Report, which has ben approved by Sir Austen
Chamberlain, it will be seen that the decision regarding the
investment of a part of the funds in the completion of the
Canton-Hankow Railway is referred to a Board of Trustees
which is to be established in China, and no decision in
the matter will be taken here.
3.
Further legislation will be required for the establishment
of the Board of Trustees, and it is hoped that a Bill for
this purpose will be introduced early in the coming session.
4. The Advisory Committee's Report will be published
shortly; in the meanwhile it should be regarded as
confidential, but there is no objection to a copy being
sent to the Governor of Hong Kong.
ader Secretary of State,
Colonial Office.
I am,
Sir,
Your obedient Servant,
Etonóm. Cownikni
