COLONIAL SECRETARY'S OFFICE
Sir
HONG
KONO
27th January 1931.
Already sent by the Hon. Attorney General.
I am directed to forward for your
information a draft "Transition agreement" drawn
up inview of the possibility that some such
arrangement as it defines will be required as a
preliminary to the adoption of the main "Verger
Agreement".
2.
The whole document must be considered
as tentative and provisional, and to go no
further than an indication of the lines in which
this Government as at present advised will be
prepared to proceed; but entire freedom of action
in the future is still reserved.
I am Sir,
Your obedient servant,
(signed)
E. R. HALLIFAX.
Colonial Secretary
Air Commodore L. F. Blandy, C.B., D.8.0.
