FOREIGN OFFICE JUN 10

June // 1910.

I am directed by Secretary Sir Edward Grey to

Gov. acknowledge the receipt of your letter 6686 of the

28th ultimo forwarding a copy of a despatch from the

Governor of Hong Kong with regard to the boundaries

of the territories leased to the Colony under the Con-

vention of June 9th, 1898.

Sir E. Grey observes that the Earl of Crewe while

of opinion that it would be inopportune to approach

the Chinese Government until the negotiations with re-

gard to the establishment of a joint working agreement

for the two sections of the Kowloon Canton Railway

have been completed, considers however that on their

successful termination it would be desirable to in-

vite the Chinese Government to appoint a Commissioner

to verify the Northern boundary and the point where

the eastern boundary cuts the shore of Mirs Bay, and

to

he Under Secretary of State,

Colonial Office.
