Sir,

Foreign Office to China Association.

Foreign Office, June 3, 1904.

I LAID before the Marquess of Lansdowne your letter of the 18th ultimo, inclosing a copy of a telegram from the Shanghae Branch of the China Association, in which they state their views with regard to the scheme proposed by the Viceroy at Nanking for the solution of the question of the Whangpoo Conservancy.

You state that your Committee concur with the Shanghae Branch in their desire to press upon His Majesty's Government the advisability of adopting this proposal.

I am directed by Lord Lansdowne to inform you that the scheme embodied in Annex 17 of the Final Protocol can only be abandoned in favour of another scheme with the consent of all the Signatories of that instrument; that the Viceroy's scheme has been communicated to the Diplomatic Body at Peking, and on hearing the result of the Minister's conference on the subject, His Majesty's Government will, in considering it, bear in mind the opinion expressed by the China Association.

I am, &c. (Signed) F. A. CAMPBELL.
