sir,

I am commanded by the Army Council to transmit, for the information of the Secretary of State for the Col- onies, a copy of the General Staff War Diary for June, received from the General Officer Commanding at Hong

Kong +

As the garrisons in the Far East have been so much reduced, the activity of the Germans in inciting the

nrtives cgainst the British cannot be viewed without

apprehension. The Council therefore, regard it as of

importance that the Toceedings of Germans in those

countries should be carefully watched with a view to

the early detection of hostile enterprises on their

part.

A copy of this letter has been sent to the Foreign

Office.

I am,

sir,

Your obedient Servant,

DD Culite.
