Mr. Seel Seel
I have put to Mr. Scarlett by telephone the two amendments referred to in your minute and also two further small amendments to which you agreed. Mr. Scarlett thought that the amendment to the sentence at (b) might be a little too detailed and specific for an announcement of this nature, but took the view that this was a matter for us rather than for them, and said that he thought that none of
to the amendments would be likely to raise objection in the Foreign Office. In view of the time factor, he_suggested that the next step might be for us to telegraph our proposed amendments out to Governor, Hong Kong, asking the latter for his views on the Ambassador's suggested statement and also our amendments. I think this is a good idea and I submit a draft telegram accordingly. I have marked the telegram "Most Immediate" as this is one of those questions which give rise to a lot of crossed wires unless action is taken very quickly.
