I m directed to transmit to you, for the
observations of secretary Jir John Simon, the
Bocompanying copy of a despatch from the Governor of
Ceylon regarding the desirability, in the interests of
Ceylon trade sith Chine, of establishing a Consulate
or Vise-Commulate in Colombo at an early date.
2.
if it is anticipated that the request
for the appointment of a Chinese Consul in the Island
in this connection would prejudice the objections which
have been raised to such an appointment in kong seaɛ,
it is cuggested that it might be preferable to ask thuit
the Ceylon Chamber of Commerce should be authorised
te issue invoices in reupect of shipments from Ceylon
to China.
TILL UNDAR JUCH TARY OF STATS, FORVIUN OFSICA.

sir.
Your most obedient servent
