Colonial Office letter No.53838/52/39 of the 2nd

Governor of Hong Kong on the subject of an approach
made to him by the Japanese Consul-General, and to

interest and that he will be glad to learn of any
further development in this matter. For the moment
however he has no observations to offer.
The Under-Secretary of State,

I am,
Sir,
Your obedient Servant,
