Minister at Berne, regarding the difficulties experienced
by the International Committee of the Red Cross in the
despatch of medical stores to China.
2. Lord Halifax will be grateful, provided the
Secretary of State for the Colonies sees no objection,
if the Governor of Hong Kong may be instructed to take
such steps as may be necessary to facilitate the regular
passage of these stores through Hong Kong.
I am,
sir,
Your obedient Servant,

The Under-Secretary of State,
