difficulty might also arise over the
application of Hong Kong ordinances.
(The doubt would, for instance, remain whether
such ordinances applied in the waters off the
coast of Lantao about which the Governor
enquires in his telegram.) These are points

Governor but I should be grateful if you
would give your views on them in replying
to this letter.
I am writing similarly to
(To 1) Cardo of the Admiralty
(To 2) Coates of the Foreign Office,
Yours sincerely,
(Lys) R. E. Radford.
