I am
authorities of Hongkong are becoming more and more cordial,
it is highly desirable that any possible ground for
misunderstanding on either side should be removed.
sure that you will join your efforts with mine in bringing
this desire into fruition and thus venture to suggest that
the Governor of Hongkong be persuaded to drop his plan of
evacuation and that, further, such steps be taken as will
permit Chinese officials to resume jurisdiction in Kowloon
City in accordance with the Convention of 1898. As regards the
park plan which seems to be res_nsible for the order of
evacuation, I have reason to believe that Chinese officials
and individuals will be willing to do all they can to lay
out a public park in the City which will enhance the value
of its surroundin s. It is sincerely hoped that you will give
these suggestions your favourable consideration and strong
support.
I
Yours sincerely,
