CHINCHOW-AIGUN Railway.

Foreign Office, January 14, 1910.

I approve your action in not joining with United States chargé d'affaires in his representations to Chinese Government, as reported in your telegram No. 9 of to-day's date. Until the Russians have given us their views on the project, it will be better to assume a non-committal attitude.
