Paraphrase telegram from the Secretary of State forthe
Colonies to the Governor of Hong Kong.
(Sent 7.0 p.m. 31st October, 1930.)

No. 101.
Confidential. Your telegram No. 142 of the
29th of October I am inclined to deprecate your consulting Chamber of Commerce, as probably this will lead to a number of impracticable suggestions for amendment
of draft by which settlement will only be delayed but
I will leave the matter to your discretion after you have taken advice of Executive Council in consultation of which I concur.
