Addressed to Hongkong telegram No. 15.
Your telegram No. 6 to Nanking.
I feel it my duty to point out that the escape of this
witness, while in Hongkong, would seriously affect our
relations with the Central Government. I trust therefore
that Your Excellency will be able to take measures to
ensure that he is safely embarked for Shanghai in charge
of his escort on conclusion of his trial.
Repeated to Foreign Office, Mission.
