Consul General Canton's 47 to you. Possibly
moment is not opportune for altering existing arrangements
especially as atmosphere at Canton seems better and I have
still hope of Pearl River being opened to trade in April.
I propose this matter should stand over to a time which
Consul General Canton considers more suitable (? than) action
suggested in your telegram 229 to Foreign Office.
