Sir,
GOVERNMENT HOUSE,
HONG KONG
11th July, 1938.

I have the honour to refer to your secret telegram No. 118 of the 27th of June, 1938, regarding
the returns of war material exported to China from
Hong Kong, and to inform you that it will be seen
from the enclosure to my secret despatch of the 18th of June, 1938, that your model form has
already been adapted to shew actual or approximate
numbers of arms rather than mere cases, and returns
in this form will continue to be supplied as far as
possible in future.
2.
The Consul-General for the United States
of America at Hong Kong has been consulted as
requested, but states that in the absence of
specific instructions from Washington he has at
present no comment to offer on the form of return
now being sent to him.
I have the honour to be,
THE RIGHT HONOURABLE
MALCOLM MACDONALD, M.P.,
