27 July 1910.

Sir,

In reply to Mr. Cox's letter of the 22nd instant (22554/1910), further with regard to the maintenance of the

British Postal Agencies in China, I a directed by the

Lords Commissioners of His Majesty's Treasury to state

for the information of the Earl of Crewe that it was not

Their intention to include the Lilitary Contribution as

part of the expenses of the Fostal Agencies.

The object which They had in view in making the proposal contained in Their letter of the 20th instant

was to maintain the Military Contribution on its present

footing, to which They attach great importance.

I am,

Sir,

Your obedient Servent,

Manay

The Under Secretary of State,

Colonial Office.
