Private. My tels No 2 110 [of June 7] and 121 [of June] 187.
Hankow & Canton Railway loan. Viceroy's secretary writes privately that Viceroy is favourably disposed to proposals. anxiously awaiting opinion on the question which nation will have predominant influence under this loan. If there are involved any further concessions, British interests generally in the Yangtze valley and South China would be greatly advanced by an assurance of help.
Viceroy of Canton is working with Hankow Viceroy in this matter and an unfavourable reply by us on negotiations might react adversely for Canton-Kowloon Railway.
