sir,

I have the honor to acknowledge the receipt
of your note of September 19, 1935, with further
reference to the exportation of arms to China via
Hong Kong,
The regulations which have now been put into
effect by the Government of Hong Kong would appear
to be adapted to achieve the end which both of our
Governments desire.
I am pleased to note that your Government is prepared to communicate informally to the American Embassy in London certain information supplied by the Government of Hong Kong in respect of shipments of
arms to China through that port.
Accept, Sir, the renewed assurance of my high
consideration.
