PARAPHRASE TELEGRAM from the Secretary of State for
theColonies to the Governor of Hong Kong.
(Sent 3.20 p.m. 30th November, 1931)
No. 143.
Your telegram 17th November No. 225 French.
Government being pressed for reply. In the meantime
I am advised that it would be undesirable to demand
an undertaking as suggested in your telegram No. 197
as a condition of withdrawal of shipping order. It
is doubtful moreover whether an undertaking of that
nature even if given would debar person concerned from
taking legal proceedings later.
