It is impossible to stop him.

I have shown the telegram to the F.O. & told them that in due course they will send them a despatch officially.

1 April

It is proposed that the hontes (Hongkong and Kowloon Whampoa Dock Company Limited?) are stirred in connection with the Customs in Chinese waters; matters are at a standstill.
