I transmit to you herewith a copy of a letter

and enclosures from Mr. G. Stewart M.P. to Lord R.

Cecil relative to the visiting of British ships by

German Officials in the Chinese Customs Service.

I have no doubt that this matter has not escaped

the notice of the Inspector General of the Customs and

that he has already taken such measures as are possible

to minimise any inconvenience or unpleasantness arising

from this source.

You may, of course, mention the matter to Mr.Aglen

if you consider that it would serve any useful purpose

to do so.

I am &c.

(Signed).

SUL

he Right Honourable,

Sir J. Jordan, G.C.I.E., K.C.B.

&c.

&C.

&c.

(for the Secretary of State).

W. Langley.
