Your 1452 5th November. I do not understand
background of your message.
Is my opinion required for
use of Japanese Navy. Do you infer that all British ships
approaching Hong Kong should by arrangement proceed to
an examination anchorage or alternatively that Japanese
if unable to board owing to state of sea would order
ships to an anchorage for examination and subsequent to
a Japanese port to discharge contraband if found. Bias
Bay or Ladrone Island would be suitable anchorages in
north east monsoon.
Am repeating to D. N.I.
