quarters and local cost of living allowances eeld
be provided in the manner McDougall has suggested.
On the second of the questions to which I
have referred at the beginning of this letter,
McDougall's, letter reads as follows: " (the last
2 paras. of 47) " From your letter to me F1369/376/G
of the 7th February, I take it you would give your
blessing to the suggestion that, as often as possible,
arrangements should be made for a H.K. Officer to
accompany the Consul-General, Canton, or his Consuls
on their tours to out-lying parts of the Province.
In my reply to McDougall I should like to be able
to say that this suggestion has the support of both
the. Colonial Office and Foreign Office, and to
suggest to him that he should make appropriate
arrangements with the mbassy and with Canton.
Yours sincerely
