Sir,
In continuation of my Secret despatch of
8th February, 1929, I have the honour to enclose the accompanying report of an interview between
Dr. R.H. Kotewall, C.M.G., and Mr. Chan Yau-ka, described
as a trusted adviser of General T'ang Shang-chih, to
whom reference is made in paragraph 4 of my Secret
despatch of 1st February, 1929. General T'ang, of
course, realizes that his presence in the Colony can be
tolerated only so long as he refrains from detected
intrigue against the administrations of South China, and
his protestations of friendship or neutrality may be to
some extent discounted. At the same time since the
majority of his former supporters are established either
in Hunan or in North China it is difficult to see why,
if his object is subversive activity, he should choose
Hong Kong rather than Shanghai as the base for his
operations.
THE RIGHT HONOURABLE
LIEUTENANT COLONEL L.C.M.S. AMERY, M.P.,
