GOVERNMENT HOUSE,
HONGKONG, 30th June, 1927.
Sir,
The past three weeks have, so far as
Hong Kong is directly concerned, been marked
by only one incident of definite importance. On
the 20th June I received a visit from Mr. Hu Chun-lin (A), Secretary to the Kang- tung Provincial Political Council, and Mr. Wai- Yuk (韋王 ), Provincial Commissioner for Foreign Affairs for Kuang-tung. The object of
the visit as announced through Mr. Brenan was to reopen and if possible settle in favour of Canton, the vexed question of the control of the
Hong Kong office of the Chinese Telegraph Ad- ministration, regarding which I would refer you
to the correspondence enclosed in your confiden-
tial despatch of the 23rd March, 1926. On this
point I reiterated the view which this Govern- ment has always held that the proper place for this office is in Chinese Territory.
