15) of 28 October, enclosing an extract from a report by

the Censor at Hong Kong respecting the relations

between the firms of H.E. Arnhold and Arnhold, Karberg

In view of the fact that this intercepted corres-

under which the definite severance of the two firs

in question was secured, Sir E. Grey considers it

unnecessary to take any action on the enclosure in

your letter under reply.

will continue to act in accordance with the instruc-

tigne contained in Lr Secretary Bonar Law's telegram No 42707 to the Governor of Hong Kong, copy of

which was enclosed in your letter No 44170/15 of
