The Secretary of State has suggested that
we should consult Hong Kong by telegraph. I agree
that it would be desirable to get Hong Kong to think
about the subject, but would suggest that there are
too many complications in it to be satisfactorily
dealt with by telegram, and that it would be better

the Departmental memorandum upon which the Cabinet

the Colonial Government. The matter cannot really
be regarded as pressing, and the Cabinet Committee
might perhaps agree to defer consideration of this
particular part of Sir Frederick Leith-Ross's
report until the views of the Hong Kong Government
have been received.
