Sir,

With reference to Mr Bertram Cox's letter of

the 4th ultimo. 22500/1910, relative to the Crown Rent

on Spring Gardens, Hong Kong, I am commanded by the

Arry Council to acquaint you, for the information of the

Earl of Crewe, that they are unable to agree that their

position has been shown to be untenable, and that they

have therefore submitted the question for the

consideration of the Treasury.

I am,

Sir,

Your obedient Servant,

Poprade

The Under Secretary of State,

Colonial Office.
