Foreign Office, September 26, 1906. If the terms of the circular are satisfactory, we attach importance to its publication, as calculated to restore confidence to some extent in foreign countries, as to the Chinese Government's intentions with regard to the question of the Customs service. As the Edict by which confidence was impaired was public, the Chinese Government should communicate the reassuring circular officially to us for publication here, if they do not publish it themselves.
The Chinese Government assured Mr. Carnegie that the instructions issued to Sir Robert Hart would not be private in any sense.
