(Boxer Indemnity).
1. I have the honour to refer Your
Excellency to the declaration made by the
British Government in December 1922, that the
balance of the British share of the Indemnity of
1901 would thenceforward be devoted to purposes
matumlly beneficial to China and Great Britain
and to express the hope that the British
Government will at once take steps to remit all
payments of the Indemity as from December 1st
1922 to the unfettered control of the National
Government of the Republic of China.
2. In the event of such remission being
effected, it is the intention of the Chinese
Government to create out of the said Indemnity
funds an endowment to be devoted to educational
purposes in harmony with the general views set
forth
