My telegram No.177. Secret:
Shanghai Banks.
My reply was chiefly based on the fact that
branches already exist here of Bank of China and Bank
?
of Communications.
Hong Kong would presumably benefit
by such a process and if this is proposed as a temporary
expedient I have no more to say. But if there is any
suggestion of a permanent shifting of China's financial
?
centre I should like to have the opportunity of
expressing my views.
