As to Indo China and Hong Kong I suggest that you should ask the Foreign Office to put in an immediate protest. The action in Indo China is a distinct breach of the Convention, whether Hong Kong is or is not, a fully contracting State.

We should, if we thought it desirable, be quite justified in saying that if France does not abide by the clear terms of the Convention Great Britain will no longer remain bound.
