I am considering what further action may be
taken, with as little publicity as possible, against
the persons now in the Colony who are revealed
by these papers to have taken part in assassination
organizations, so as to secure that they quit the
Colony: and I have already written demi-officially
to Sir Archibald Clark err saying that in my
opinion the least that the Chinese Government
can do is to remove David Kung permanently
from Hong Kong: this has been passed on to
the proper quarter and I have reason to believe
that the hint is being complied with. Since
then I have learned that General u Te-chen,
whose local activities are discussed in the
third enclosure to my secret despatch of 26th
October, is leaving the Colony this week for
Chungking: this move, however, is, as far as I
unconnected with the Nathan Road case.
Copies of the translations enclosed
hereunder will be sent to various British
intelligence officers in the Far East who are
likely to be interested. I shall keep you
informed of any further developments in this
connexion.

I have highly commended Mr. Waterton,
to whose perseverance and acumen Mr. Abbott bears testimony, and Sub-Inspector of Police
R.R.Ellis, who has been mainly instrumental
in the police investigation of this complex
affair: I trust that you will agree that
these commendations were well-merited.
