Kedleston to transmit to you herewith, to be laid

before the Secretary of State for the Colonies, a

copy of a despatch, No. 78 Overseas Trade, of the

30th ultimo, from the Acting Consul at Danzig, en- closing a translation of a letter (extract) from the Danzig Delegation of the Harbour Board, in which a request is made for information relative to the de-

velopment of free porte, with special reference to

Hong Kong and Shanghai.

2. In making this communication I am directed

to enquire whether there are any published reports

concerning the establishment and development of Hong Kong and Weihaiwei as free porte, or other publication

or information, which in Mr. Churchill's opinion,

could usefully be furnished for the puriose of the

Danzig Delegation.

I am,
