As regards draft statement enclosed
with your savingram and question of
publication of Advisory Committee's Report
see my telegram No.258. These questions
have now been discussed with Foreign Office
and onclusion has been reached that it
would be definitely undesirable to publish

Passages in question are references both
direct and indirect to (a) British prestige
in the Far East (paragraphs 2 and 13),
Concis
to
(b) spreading of British culture and
influence in China (paragraphs 15, 17 and
to. (No scontham) 27), see especially quotation of Foreign Tremy (on sexpeeps
