With reference to Colonial Office letter No.
7 53770/38 of the 9th July, I am directed by Viscount
Halifax to state that he concurs in Mr. Secretary
MacDonald's proposal to approve the suggestion put
forward by the Governor of Hong Kong that he should
be authorised to pay a visit to Canton. His Majesty's
Ambassador at Tokyo is being instructed in a telegram,
of which a copy is enclosed herein, to request the
Japanese authorities to observe all necessary
precautions for the Governor's safety.
I am,
Sir,
Your obedient Servant,
2.5. Howe.
The Under-Secretary of State,
Colonial Office.
