so wish to seguard position of C.-la-. Hong and se consider that to sign agreea nts o cerning the use of long long facilities is to make protses which 1ster, through either large sole deannds from the chinese and mericans on the pretext they are fulfilling Macarthur'a orders, or through the inability of the long Long Colony to meet its on internal difficulties regarding repatriation of administration etc., we shall be able to honour and thas be accused of a breach if faith. Boreover we feel that if agrecments are to be made and signed, the G.-in-C. Hong Long will know the more lanciate laplications of any agreement and should be the authority with whom Chinese and mericanS should negotiate.

If however mericos od Chinese lost on sinature of agresimat bofore allowing their representatives to procced to Hong Bong you should proceed as follows:-
