With reference to paragraph two of Mr. Hall-
Patch's telegram to you No. 11 of the 5th February, and to
previous correspondence relating to the construction of a
loop line to connect the Canton-Kowloon Railway with the
Canton-Hankow Railway, I have the honour to transmit herewith
a copy of a minute of an interview between kr. Hall-Fatch
and Mr. T.L. Tseng, Vice-Minister of Railways, at Nanking
on the 26th February, 1937, in the course of which Mr. Tseng
stated that the Minister of Railways had decided that the
Whampoa branch line would cross the Canton-Kowloon line
by a level crossing which could be turned into an effective
link with the Canton-Kowloon line at any moment.
I have, eto.
