Hồng Kong - Activities of Kuomintang.
I enclose a copy of a despatch
from Hong Kong giving the Governor's views
on the policy to be adopted towards the
Kuomintang in that Colony. You will have
no doubt seen the copies of our previous
correspondence with the Governor on the
subject, ending with the Secretary of
State's despatch No. 3 of the 28th of
Leut
January, of which a copy has gone to Scott.
I believe that the Foreign Office reference
is F.376/376/10.
We are
My Secretary of State is disposed to
agree with the Governor's views, as set
out in paragraphs 4 and 5 of the despatch,
· as to the attitude to be adopted by the
Hong Kong Government towards the Kuomintang
1 beach in
ů in present circumstances. He is however very
much concerned at the activities and aims
of the Hong Kong Kuomintang and the degree of
its control over the Chinese population in
the Colony, as reported in the enclosures to
the Governor's Confidential despatch of
24th of November, a copy of which was sent to
Scou
Foreign office on the 10th of January, and he
is anxious that effective action should be
taken
