Your Saving No. 184 Secret of 22nd December,

Kowloon-Canton Railway.

The question whether the arrange.ents proposed

for Chinese Maritime Customs examination of through

goods at howloon 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.
