Sir,

Foreign Office, July 17, 1908.

I AM directed by Secretary Sir E. Grey to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of the 13th instant on the question of telegraphic communication with Japan and the Far East.

Sir E. Grey concurs in the recommendation contained in paragraph 1 of the recommendations of the Cables Committee as to the nature of the communication to be made to the Japanese Government, and instructions will be sent accordingly to His Majesty's Ambassador at Tokio as soon as he has learnt the final views of the Postmaster-General. There is, moreover, no objection from the point of view of this Department to the communications which Mr. Buxton proposes to make to the Japanese Delegates at the recent Lisbon Conference in accordance with paragraph 1 of the recommendations of the Committee and to the Eastern and Eastern Extension Companies, in accordance with both paragraphs of the recommendations.

In regard to the question of Japanese telegraph stations in Manchuria, I am to state that an extract from your letter will be forwarded to His Majesty's Minister at Peking, with the request that he will do what he can to promote a settlement of the difficulties between China and Japan on the lines desired by Mr. Buxton.

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