I am directed by the Secretary of State for India
in Council to forward a copy of a telegram from the Government
of India regarding a proposal made by the Governor of Hong
Kong that the export of rice from Rangoon to Canton should be
prohibited, and to request that he may be favoured with the
observations of the Secretary of State for the Colonies on the
question raised.
The Earl of Birkenhead agrees with the Government of
India that it is undesirable to interfere with the trade unless
very strong reasons of Imperial Policy can be urged for doing
80.
A similar letter has been sent to the Foreign
Office.
