With reference to the letter from this
Department of the 15th March I am directed by
Mr. Secretary MacDonald to transmit to you a copy
of a despatch from the Governor of Hong Kong forwarding
a statement of arms and ammunition which passed
through the Colony in transit to China during the
first half of 1939.
2. I am to ask that the returns in the despatch,
which are enclosed in original, may be forwarded to
the Board of Trade after inspection with a request that
they may be returned eventually to the Colonial Office.
I am,
sir,
Your most obedient servant,
THE UNDER SECRETARY OF STATE,
FOREIGN OFFICE.
