The other point of interest is the Foreign Office attitude, as expressed in Mr. Kitson's letter at No.119, on the question of consultation with the Portuguese about policy in Hong Kong and Macao. The Foreign Office would propose to discourage any such consultation, and in particular any attempt by the Portuguese to formulate a joint Anglo-Portuguese policy in regard to Hong Kong and Macao. I do not recall that the Foreign Office ever troubled to con- sult the Colonial Office on this question before formulating their policy. Mr. Bennett will no doubt be interested to see this letter, and I suggest that, when it has been circulated in the Office, we should, if the Foreign Office see no objection, send a copy of it to Sir Alexander Grantham. Copies of Nos.117 and 118 have already been sent direct to Hong Kong from Nanking.
