Sir,
GOVERNMENT HOUSE.
HONG KONG, 1st February, 1933.
With reference to your telegram of
the 17th January, 1933, I have the honour to
inform you that I took the opportunity of
discussing with Sir Frederick Maze on his
recent visit to Hong Kong the question of
the Customs Agreement, but I regret to have
to report that there would appear to be little
hope of its being signed in the near future.
2. I discussed the matter also with Sir
files Lampson when he passed through Hong Kong
recently and, as he proposed to visit Canton,
suggested to him that he might take the
opportunity of raising the question with the
authorities there.
3.
He had an interview on January 6th, 1933,
with M. Lin Wen Kai, Chairman of the Provincial
Government, and Marshal Chen Chai Tong, Commander-
in-Chief of the 1st Group Army. Mr. Phillips,
H.M. Consul General, and Colonel C.W. Leung,
Counsellor at Military Headquarters and
Confidential Foreign Secretary to both the Chairman
THE RIGHT HONOURABLE
SIR P. CUFLIFFE-LISTER, G.3.3., M.C., M.P.
