Your Savingram No. 184 Secret of 22nd December, 1950.
Kowloon-Canton Railway.
The question whether the arrangements proposed for Chinese Maritime Customs examination of through goods at Kowloon would prejudice our position under the 1948 Customs Agreement, was considered here before my telegram No. 1753 was despatched and my advisers reached the same conclusion as that stated in your paragraph 4. I have no objection, therefore, to the relevant passage of the draft quoted in your paragraph 5.
