The Director of Military Operations and Intelligence
presents his compliments to the Under Secretary of State for
the Colonies and, with reference to his letter No.72723/1930
of 20th May, 1930, begs to inform him that the alteration to
the titles of the Hong Kong 1/20,000 series map will be put
in hand forthwith.
Mejor-General J.R.E. Charles wishes to point out,
however, that the title to which objection has been raised
was extracted from a telegram dated 24th April, 1929, from
the Governor of Hong Kong to the Under Secretary of State
for the Colonies. in which he states the word Territory is
the correct term. It is assumed that your letter under
reply overrules this statement.
