With reference to your despatch No.128 of
4th April, 1935, on the subject of alleged inaccuracies
in tin assays made in Hong Kong, I have the honour to (9) invite attention to Sir William Peel's despatch No.161
of 14th March, 1935, regarding differences in the analyses
of Chinese tin furnished by the Hong Kong Government
Analyst and those supplied by assayers in London and New
York.
2.
In regard to Messrs. Brandeis, Goldschmidt
(3) & Co., Ltd.'s letter of 15th March, 1935, copy of which
was forwarded with your despatch, I would point out that
Mr. D.C. Glenn Allen has no connection with, and is not
in a position to issue any assay certificate on behalf of,
this Government.

1934, and No.113 of 22nd February, 1935, respectively) for
