Dear Craigie
In your note A 7139/1752/45 of 20th November you
refer to the last letter in the correspondence about
discrimination against American interests in Hong Kong
as being that wìdch we sent to the Colonial office on
5th September (C.R.T. 1308/28). I enclose copy of a
reply to that lettor from the Colonial office and of our
rejoinder.
As you will see it is not suggested by the Board of
Trade that we should be intractable as regards the
question of motor bus licences, our view being that the
restriction is thoroughly bad in rinciple and one which
we could not impose in this country without infringing
our existing obligations under commercial treaties and
those which we shall incur when the Convention on Import
and Export Prohibitions comes into operation. The classes
of goods which we may prohibit are limited by the Gorman
treaty and other countries, including United States of
R.L. Craigie, Esq.
