RECR

REG 13 JUN 101

I transmit to you herewith for your information

and guidance a copy of a letter which has been receiv-

ea from the Colonial office together with certain docu-

ments enclosed therein respecting the desire of the

Hongkong Government to see the Cunton-Kowloon and

Canton-Hankow railways connected.

The Colonial Government have reason to suppose

that the Chinese Government are opposed to this scheme,

but having regard to the urgent importance attached to

the matter by the Secretary of State for the Colonies,

I request that, on receipt of this despatch, you will

communicate with Sir Henry May and, when ao desired,

afford all the support in your power both on this

point and generally in connexion with the negotiations

for the drawing up of a joint working agreement for

the Canton-Kowloon line.
