With reference to the recent interdepartmental
conference held at the Admiralty to discuss the possibility
of reinforcing the measures at present taken to combat
piracy off the China coast, I am directed by Secretary
Sir Samuel Hoare to transmit herewith, to be laid before
Mr. Secretary MacDonald a copy of a despatch which it is
proposed to address to His Majesty's Ambassador at Peking
regarding the proposal to grant certificates to vessels
which are adequately protected against piracy, which
formed a subject of discussion at that conference.
