Foreign Office, August 19, 1907. YOUR French colleague, in view of the French capital concerned in the under- should you takings of the Peking Syndicate, has received instructions to support you, apply for his assistance, in any protest which you may make with a view to obtain the removal of obstructive officials. If you think that matters would be expedited by applying for his assistance, you are at liberty to do so; and in any case, whatever other steps you may take to effect a settlement, you can consult him with a view to obtaining his support.
