sir,
I am directed by Mr. Secretary MacDonald to
transmit to you a copy of a despatch from the
Governor of Hong Kong, forwarding a return of arms
and ammunition which passed through the Colony in
transit to China during the second half of 1939.
This return is forwarded to the Ministry
at the suggestion of the Foreign Office. I am to
enquire whether the Ministry would desire to see
similar returns in future.

I am,
THE SECRETARY,
MINISTRY OF ECONOMIC WARFARE.
Sir,
Your most obedient servant,
(Signed) G. E. J. QENT
