Sir,
With reference to previous correspondence
resting with my letter No.29 of 14th July, 1939, regarding
expenditure incurred by the Shanghai Refugee Committee in
(Not sent) Hong Kong, I have the honour to forward for your information
Colonial Office Despatch No.394
of 14th October, 1939.
Foreign Office letter to Colonial
Office No.9036/1225/210
of 20th September, 1939. Foreign Office Despatch No.1351

copies of correspondence as indicated
in the margin, which have been
transmitted to this Government for
the necessary action in connection
with your despatch No.93 of 31st
March, 1939, to the Right Honourable the Secretary of State
for Foreign Affairs.
2.
I agree that the balance of the expenditure
incurred on behalf of the Czechoslovak nationals described
in your despatch under reference should be met by this
Government since it cannot be recovered from other sources,
and I have therefore to forward the attached draft for
Shanghai $5,499.20 being the equivalent of Hong Kong $1,964.00
at 280.
I have, &c.,
(Sa.)
G.A.S. NORTHCOTE,
