I see now from No.5 that Sir M.
Lampson has given Mr. Maze to understand that he (Sir M. Lampson) will sign the agreement,
and presumably Mr. Maze will so have informed
the Chinese Government. The position therefore
seems to be that (a) the Foreign Office want
the agreement to be between the United Kingdom
and China; (b) the Chinese Government will be
expecting us to propose this, and (c) in the
opinion of the Foreign Office the Chinese
Government would probably prefer this form.
It is now for consideration whether we should
contest the Foreign Office view on this point. My own view is that (in ad the circumstances summarised above) it would be better to agree.
As however there is no great urgency
about settling this question, as we shall have
at any rate 5 or 6 weeks in which to think about it before the text (as agreed between the Governor and Mr. Maze) arrives, I suggest that we should telegraph as in draft herewith, and
that papers should then be re-circulated for
the consideration of the form which the agreement
don't
is to take. (Mr Bushe will Views on this :).
