Your telegram No. 59.

Constitution.

In course of general talk here Nicoll

counter to your views if no decision was taken on constitutional changes (for several months,

but This we feel goes rather beyond general sense

of your telegram under reply and we should

like confirmation whether a delay of several

months before you will be in a position to make

any public statement on result of your

recommendations for constitutional change,

would in affect accord with your wishes under

present conditions in Hong Kong.
