My immediately preceding telegram,

Reletions and amendments are as follows.

(References are to paragraphs in Young's

despatch No.145.)

(a) Paragraph 17(e) Omission of

reference to original proposal that

there should be differentiation between

non-British Chinese on one hand, and.

Americans and non-British Europeans on

the other, in the matter of residential

qualification, by amendment of second

sentence of this sub-paragraph so as to

read "The period of residential

qualification required in their case

would presumably have to be the same

for non-British Chinese subjects."

(b) Paragraph 24(vi) Following

consequential amendments to this sub-

paragraph viz. (1) deletion of the word

"Chinese" in second sentence and

substitution of the words "all persons"

(2) deletion of words "non-British

Europeans and Americans" after the words

"British subjects".

(c) Paragraph 37 Reference to usual

condition regarding duration of term

of leases in the case of the New

Territories
