Paraphrase of

Telegram from the Secretary of State for the Colonies to the Governor of Hong Kong.

(Sent, 1:18 p.m. 14th June, 1917.)

14th June.

United States Postal Administration has agreed to despatch from United States mail to North China via Hong Kong instead of Shanghai on understanding that examination of the contents is expedited. His Majesty's Government consider it important not to give United States Government ground for insisting on taking over, themselves, the control of mails now censored by British and French officers and War Office would be glad if you will report direct what delay is at present imposed on the mails in question by the censorship and to what extent it could be reduced. War Office consider that time-limit of not more than 48 hours should be laid down and adhered to even if result would be to forward uncensored a part of the mail.

LONG.
