Nanking Government to renew
104.
negotiations.
The question of the
fines on ship-owners exacted
by the Chinese Customs is, as
you say, a matter for the
Foreign Office, and I am sending
a copy of your letter to Sir John
Simon for his information.
You may rest assured that
I shall continue to bear in
mind the questions raised in
your letter, and that every
endeavour will be made to reach
a solution satisfactory to
all the interests concerned.
I shall be grateful if you
will so inform your correspondents,
and I must thank you once again for
the way in which you have raised
this matter.
Yours
sincerely,
(Sgd.) P. CUNLIFFE-LISTER
