Dear Palmer
With reference to the discussions which have been
proceeding on the general question of liability for requisi-
tioned and other craft lost at Hong Kong, I enclose for your
Exh-989
information copy of a letter which I have sent to Severs of
the Admiralty which briefly summaries a report which we have
received on the matter from our Representative at Hong Kong.
I shall be glad to receive your views on the
question of liability raised in the Report and on the suggested
appointment of a local Committee to negotiate settlement of
claims.
Yours sincerely,
H. Palmer, Esq.,
Colonial Office,
Dover House,
Whitehall,
