509. Your 2237/11 Fresume this incident will be treated
by Colonial Government. I am not aware whether Chinese
Customs Cruisers are permitted to operate using Hong
Kong as a base and our territorial waters for their
security.
If so I consider such a course is prorocative
and to the detriment of Anglo Japanese relations locally.
