Sir,

FOREIGN OFFICE.
S.W.1.
8th October, 1929.
With reference to Colonial Office letter No. 62899/29
of the 20th ultimo, enclosing a proof copy of the proposed
White Paper relative to the ui-Tsai question, I am directed
by Mr. Secretary Henderson to suggest the desirability of
omitting the following passages:
(a) On page 32, the whole of the latter part of paragraph
6 after the words "be most unpopular".
(b) On page 34 in paragraph 3 the sentence "Moreover,
"it was quite clear
anti-opium medicine".
(c) On page 48 in paragraph 8, the sentence "They are
"intended to serve as a blind or to show to other countries
"that China is making a great progress in modern
"civilisation."
2.
Otherwise Mr. Henderson has no comments to make
on the proposed White Paper, and he does not consider that
it will be necessary for the matter to be discussed between
representatives of the Colonial Office and this department.
I am,
Sir,
Your obedient Servant,
CW. Orde
The Under-Secretary of State,
Colonial Office.
