I have seen Naval telegrams on the zubject of requisitioning of the Chinese Customs Vessels now lying at Hong Kong ending with the 34 Commodore's telegram No. 131 Z of 21st December
addressed to C.-in-C. and repeated to the Admiralty. I would request full consideration be given to Coloniel aspect of the question in case local Japanese Consulate enquires as to the position.
