No. 624..

IMMEDIATE.

Addressed to Commander-in-Chief No. 209, repeated

to Foreign Office.

Your telegram No. 225 to me and your telegram

No. 940 to Admiralty

I gather that all 4 commanders-in-chief agree

to all your proposals i.e. (D) (E) (F) (G). So

far as lies with me I concur. Point is that their

governments should approve and approve quickly.

Only thing I am definitely against is proposal

seizure of Shanghai customs, at any rate at this

stage. We might not know what to do with the

money.

(H),
