If Bill referred to in last paragraph
has not yet been published, please
defer publication pending receipt of
observations of H.M.Ambassador in China,
to whom I request your telegram under
reference may be repeated. The Foreign
Office see no objection to publication
of the Bill subject to Sir A.Clerk Kerr's
views and he should be so informed.
Before measure is passed into law however
I intend to consider matter further and
should be glad of information as to
any substantial local criticism.
