Enclosure

"Sir E. Satow to the Marquess of Lansdowne

No. 435 (3012)

My Lord,

BRITISH LEGATION,
PEKING.
No. 3370
30 Jan 06

November 30th, 1905.

I have the honour to enclose, herewith, a translation of a paragraph from a Chinese newspaper relating a conversation which the French Deputy, Monsieur Deloncle, had with the Wai Wu Pu when he was here.

It sounds very like the truth and resembles to a certain extent what Monsieur Deloncle said to me himself, though the line he took with me was that while France would be ready to find the money for building railways, she would be quite willing that we should supply the material and engineers. That was rather too plausible, I thought.

He developed at great length his theory that England and France should pull together in China for the common defence of their interests.

The newspaper of which the paragraph is an extract frequently shows that it has confidential relations with the Wai Wu Pu.

I have, &c.,

(Signed)
Ernest Satow.

The Marquess of Lansdowne, K.G.,
&c., &c., &c.
