Sir:-

With reference to my letter, W.206529/16, of

Basel Mission in China, I am directed by Viscount Grey

information of Mr. Secretary Bonar Law, a copy of a

further despatch on the subject from His Majesty's

Minister at Berne.

I am to enquire whether Mr. Law would desire

that the Japanese and Chinese Governments should be

approached with a view to obtaining information

regarding these activities of the Mission, as

suggested by ilr. Beak.
