To the effect that "no
pledge has been
"given to the Chinese
as regards Government
allowing the resumption by Chinese officials of
jurisdiction within
Kowloon
city" and
that the Chinese Government
have been informed that it is impossible to allow Chinese authority within the walls of the
city
to be resumed. Mr Chamberlain trusts that this matter may be taken as finally
settled and that under no circumstances or
conditions will the former Chinese authority
in
any form be revived in Kowloon city.
