Confidential. Your telegram of 11th July Chinese
Telegraph Office please see my despatch of 30th June
Secret interview with Cantonese officials.
I am
strongly in favour of removal of the office from
Hong Kong where it forms a centre of political
intrigue and possibly espionage. It is immaterial to
us whether it is re-established just over the
frontier or in Canton.
