in this trade may I
appropriately to the Hongkong Government.
ask that such views be communicated
I would,
however, prefer that neither this letter nor the name of
Jardine Matheson & Co. be mentioned.

in Hongkong would have to be left to be dealt with by
the Government on the spot and that every reasonable
facility would be granted.
I have the honour to be, Sir,
Your obedient Servant,
Buckenard
The Under-Secretary of State, Colonial Office, S.W.1.
