RECE. VED
12th June, 1937.
14 JUN 1937 C. O. REGY
I am directed by Mr. Secretary Eden to transmit to
you herewith copy of two telegrams which he has received
from His Majesty's Ambassador in China on the subject of
certain proposals reported in previous telegrams as having
been made by Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek for co-operation
between the Chinese Government and His Majesty's Government
in the United Kingdom.
2.
Mr. Eden is inclined to agree with the Military
Attaché that there may be a political motive behind the
proposals, and that the suggestion reported in telegram No. 213
with regard to the stationing of a Chinese officer at Singapore
is open to objection. He will be glad to learn in due course
the views of the Secretary of State for the Colonies in the
matter.
3. A copy of this letter is being sent to the War Office,
Admiralty and Air Ministry.
I am,
Sir,
Your obedient Servant,
Cw. Orde
The Under-Secretary of State,
Colonial Office.
