RECEIVED
- 1 JAN 1937
C. O. REGY
Many thanks for your letter No.53680/36 of
17th December regarding the proposals for the amendment
of Article 194 of the China Order-in-Council, 1925.
You will be getting from us officially a copy
of Peking despatch No.1174 of 11th November, which in
our view affords a good illustration of the unsatisfactory
operation of the present Article in China.
However,
now that we have obtained the views of all those concerned,
we feel that the time has come to hold the interdepartmental
meeting to discuss the question; we suggest therefore
that the meeting might be held about the middle of
January, if that is convenient for you and for the Board
of Trade's representatives.
I am sending a copy of this letter to Wills.
Yours sincerely
CW, Orde
