No. 79.
American Consul General reports that he has been
instructed from Washington to furnish fortnightly full
reports as to munitions passing through Hong Kong namely
amounts and kinds and countries of origin and destination.
I do not see how this could be accorded to him and refused
any other Consular representative and I suggest either
that I decline or reply that the question had better be
raised in London. I should be grateful for your instructions.
