ask for these views but I have amended the draft opposite to take account of 16 and attached fresh сору.
This case is likely to be embarrassing whichever way it is decided. If Shum is surrendered it will be regarded as "appeasement" with possibly dangerous consequences as Mr. North points out. If Shum
is not surrendered the Chinese Government will probably use it as a pretext to whip up agitation against Hong Kong. On the information so far disclosed
by the papers on this file I should hope that he will
not be surrendered.
Draft herewith.
