China Indemnity Advisory Committee.
47
Lord Buxton asks me to inform you that since his
second memorandum was drawn up and circulated last month
to the members of the Committee, Sir M. Lempson has
telegraphed requesting that, in view of the changing
end very obscure position in China, action should be
for the present suspended in regard to the formation
of the trovisional Committee, and that the invitations
both to the Chinese and Britich members should be
withheld.
This is probably wise and is in agreement with the
views of the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs,
20 for the time being we shall mark time. Sir M. Lampson
is being instructed to suspend all action for the present
and is being informed that we will defer issuing invi-
tations for the rovisional Committee to those possible
members who are now in this country,
