Sir,

I am directed by Lord Passfield to acknowledge

the receipt of your letter F.3149/57/10 of the 4th July

on the subject of the Canton-Kowl con and Canton-Hankow

Railways and to transmit for the information of

Mr. Secretary Henderson a copy of a telegram which has

been addressed to the Governor of Hong Kong.

2.

As regards the rehabilitation of the Canton-

Kowloon Railway, Lord Passfield had not intended to

suggest that any definite assurances on this subject

should be obtained from the Chinese Government in con-

nection with the Boxer Indemnity Settlement but only

that any suitable opportunity which might present

itself should be taken of informing the appropriate

Chinese authorities of the importance attached by

His Majesty's Government and the Government of Hong Kong

to the rehabilitation of the Chinese section of this

Railway

THE UNDER SECRETARY OF STATE,

FOREIGN OFFICE.
