Dear Ackley. Clarke,
With reference to your letter to Galsworthy
of the 7th October (F.10734/28/10) relating to the
shipment of arms from the United States to the
Shanghai Municipal Police, to Thailand and to the
Government of Liberia, we have no objection to an
assurance being given to the United States Embassy
in terms similar to that given in your letter to the
Counsellor of the United States Embassy of the
23rd September in respect of shipments to the
Chinese Government.
We are informing the Governors of Hong Kong
and the Straits Settlements as regards the Shanghai
Police and Thailand and the Governor of Sierra Leone
as regards Liberia.
Yours sincerely,
H. ASHLEY CLARKE, ESQ.
