General on the 13th January last. The nominal

I am informed that the Hong Kong and
Swatow Commercial Bank Limited is considered good
for ordinary engagements.
4.
As the Bank in question is exclusively a
Chinese concern I see no reason why protection
should be afforded in this case and I have the honour
to request therefore that the matter may be brought
to the attention of His Majesty's Principal Secretary
of State for Foreign Affairs in accordance with
the terms of Section 221 (2) of the Order-in-Council.
I have, etc.
(Signed) Herbert Phillips.
Consul General.
