Please refer to your 54145/13/48 of 16.2.48. regarding the present position of the control of civilian traffic from India to Hong Kong and Malaya.
As I understood it the matter was left after discussion with Burgess in February last year that the Colonial Office were to send out signals to the Malayan Union and Singapore to ask them what the position was as regards entry of Indians there, and that on the receipt of this information the Colonial Office would produce some form of coordinated policy.
We have heard nothing significant from S.I.F.E. or the D.S.Os on this matter since that date, but I have written out to S.I.F. E. asking whether there have been any developments.
Your s
serinly
Courtenay Young.
Sir Marston Logan, K.B. E., C.M.G. Colonial Office.
