This is nothing more than a mere
acknowledgment of your letter of May 25th. I will
see that what you say about the New Territories is
put officially on record in the file. No doubt
if you wish to return to the charge after you have
studied the question further in the light of the
Foreign Office telegrze No. 303, you will do so
officially, as my letter to you records the latest
official decision at this ead.
With reference to the Compulsory Service
Bill, you will by this time have received our secret
telegram No.102 of the 30th of May deprecating an
early announcement.
The whole question is, as
explained in that telegram, under active consideration
SIR GEOFFRY NORTHCOTE, K.C.M.G.
