MR. ANTHONY GREY
I have been having a few thoughts about the question of Mr. Grey's
release, which are set out below. I am well aware that I am not fully
informed about all that has passed in the Grey case in recent years and
you may well be able to set my fears at rest.
2. As I understand it our belief is that the Chinese are going to
release Grey when the last of the news workers imprisoned in Hong Kong
in 1967 has been released. The date for this is 3 October, 1969. We are
relying upon the statement originally made by the Chinese that Grey's
incarceration' was a direct reprisal for the arrest of two N.C.N.A. men
together with the statements made by N.C.N.A. on 28 December, 1968 which
committed the Chinese Government in no way and by the more specific
statement made by the Chinese Chargé in London to Mr. Moreton on 19 May
that Grey would regain his freedom of movement once all these prisoners
had been released.
3.
(a)
(b)
Are we satisfied that if the Chinese do not release Grey from house
arrest by 3 October we can show convincingly that they have broken what
we had good reason to believe was a firm undertaking?
Can we defend ourselves in Parliament against a charge that we should
have checked in Peking that our understanding of the situation was the
same as that of the Chinese Government? (I notice that you had this
point in mind in your instructions to Mr. Denson contained in F.C.0.
telegram No. 219 to Peking. reply).
I have not seen the
Then there is the possibility (though I would rate it as very much an
outside chance) that the Chinese might release Grey from house arrest,
but not give him an exit permit, without which he could not, of course,
leave China. All that the Chinese Chargé said was that he would regain
his freedom of movement. Again this a matter where we might be open to
some Parliamentary criticism if we have not checked in Peking what the
Chargé said?
4. Leading on from the thought above is it possible that the Chinese
might seek to trade an exit permit for Grey against some of the 254
other prisoners dating from the confrontation era? Clearly it will be
difficult in the Governor's present mood, save on the basis of an
instruction, to get him to move any

further in respect of the release of other prisoners in Hong Kong in
exchange for an exit permit for Grey.
5. Finally, assuming that we get Grey safely out and that all the news
workers have also been released, are we likely to face a campaign in
which the Chinese will try to trade other British subjects held in China
against the remaining Hong Kong prisoners? Are we prepared to resist
such a campaign. as I am sure we should? In this connexion have we got
the statistics which would show us the speed of the rundown in the
numbers of such confrontation prisoners held in Hong Kong?
6. Finally, one, further thought occurs to me, it could be that the
Chinese will take advantage of the 20th Anniversary Celebrations of the
founding of the Chinese Peoples Republic on 1 October to get rid of Grey
as gracefully as possible. I think I have seen somewhere that the
penultimate news worker prisoner will get out before 1 October, whereas
the last one will not emerge before 3 October. Would it be a good idea
to follow up what Lord Shepherd said to the Governor on his visit; about
the prisoners and encourage Sir D. Trench to get rid of the last man on
the eve of 1 October as a friendly gesture? F.C.O. telegram No. 444 to
Hong Kong of 4 July encouraged the Governor in the sense of making a
premature release if it could be regarded as a gesture of accommodation
rather than an act of weakness. To release one man three days
prematurely could hardly be seen as an act of much weakness.

They now have the books and have paid the

have been unable to have the books delivered to Mr.
Grey but will continue to try to do so.
3. The cost of the books is under suspende in
their accounts and they would be grateful for advice as to whether there
is any way in which this can be charged to public funds. I attach our

PROBLEM
In my submission of 6 May I recommended that while we
should accept the Governor's objections to the immediate
premature release in Hong Kong of the eleven newsworkers,
whom the Chinese have linked with Mr. Grey, it was for
consideration whether we might ask him to use his discre-
tionary powers of remission nearer the time of their due

position open by saying that, if in the event he were to
decide, as September approached, that a time had come when
the premature release of the newsworkers by a matter of a few
weeks would be regarded by the Chinese as a gesture of
accommodation rather than an act of weakness we should not

only cut short Mr. Grey's ordeal but might cause the Chinese
to move on the cases of some other British subjects and
mitigate the effects that our handling of the Brooke case
might have had on the Chinese. It is clear from the
Governor's telegram No. 588 of 24 July, however, that he has

In my submission of 6 May I argued that the release of
the eleven newsworkers on their due dates would not be regarded
by the Chinese as any concession on our part and that we
should have thus lost the opportunity of giving the Chinese
what might be the relatively harmless "victory" which they
might regard as a pre-requisite for their acceptance of a
modus vivendi in Hong Kong. The premature release by a
matter of weeks in addition to shortening Mr. Grey's ordeal
would be a mild "kow-tow" towards the Chinese which might in
turn be a useful insurance against the possibility of their
