Dear Scott,
I spoke to you this morning about the
case of Mr. Soohorukoff.
The French Consul General rang me up at
the end of last week to say that Mr. Soohorukoff
wanted to go to France, and that before he could
be granted a Visa for that country the French
authorities required a recommendation on his
behalf. The French Consul General had rung up
the Colonial Office because Mr. Soohorukoff's
Nansen Certificate had been obtained through the
ment Hong Kong Governor, but our connection with him
18
is purely as an intermediary.
As he was formerly in the service of the
British Municipal Council at Tientsin we feel that
he is really more your affair than ours.
I understand that you may not be
altogether
