Dear Green,

2613

TREASURY CHAMBERS,

WHITEHALL, S.W. 1.

26th June, 1928.

Your official letter of the 8th May

2

(52801/28) about the new Hong Kong and Shanghai Banking

Corporation Ordinance.

I agree generally in the views expressed in

the letter from the Board of Trade to your Department

of the 16th instant, a copy of which was sent to us.

I am however writing semi-officially because

Flux has suggested, and the proposal seems to me a

good one, that progress, which is at present exceedingly

slow, might be helped if some representative of the

Bank in London such as Sir Charles Addis were invited

to discuss the matter orally. The object of the

amendments suggested in the Governor of Hong Kong's

telegram of 24th April is obscure to me, and the fact

that this telegram apparently crossed your despatch

of 4th April has created rather a tangle which might

most easily be cleared up by verbal discussions.

J.F.N.Green, Esq.,

Colonial Office.
