With reference to your letter No.27291/20 of the 19th

instant respecting the repatriation of Distressed British

Subjects from Saigon, I am directed by Earl Curzon of

Kedleston to state that he concurs with Viscount Milner's

suggestion contained therein as to the best method of

dealing with these cases, with the proviso that where, aa

in the present instance, a destitute person from the

Dominions or Colonies is concerned, the expenses should be

reclaimed by the Hong Kong or Straits Settlements

Government from the Colonial Office.

I am to enquire whether this proposal meets with the

approval of Lord Milner.

I am,

sir,

Your most obedient

humble Servant,
