3. You mentioned in your letter that à fresh approach had been made by the Chinese over Kowloon City and that a telegram would reach us before your letter. However, no telegram has arrived so I presume there has been a hitch somewhere. The legal pundits seems to be taking a long time making up their minds as to whether or not we have a good case to go to an International Tribunal. Meanwhile everything is quiet but this is unsatisfactory from our point of view because it means that the Chinese can re-create an incident whenever it suits them.
