My dear Dr. Pearce,

282

International Missionary Council,

Edinburgh House, 2 Eaton Gate, London.

7th December, 1921. (S.W.1.)

I have been giving further attention to your important letter of the 21st September, which we have

previously acknowledged. We must, of course, wait until

you receive further information from the Hongkong Government

regarding the action which it is about to take before you

can answer fully the questions which were contained in

Mr. Oldham's letter of the 13th July. In the meantime, I

unink we should inform you more fully regarding recent

correspondence which we have received with reference to the

return of missionaries of former enemy nationality to

British colonies and mandated territories.

You are doubtless in oned regarding the

regulations adopted some time ago by the India Office

governing the admission of missionaries of alien nationality

to India. Within the last few months, the India Office has

added an additional paragraph to these regulations, which

you will find printed in full in the minutes of the

International Missionary Council, p.19, in which the

regulations are made to govern exceptional conditions in

which missionaries of former enemy nationality may be

admitted to India. The Colonial Office now informs us that

they have decided to adopt the regulations of the India

Office with reference to all the British colonies, with the

following important modifications.

The period in which German missionaries will

be prohibited from returning to these colonies is reduced

from five to three years. The additional paragraph No. 10,

referred to above, will not be applied to the colonies, but at the same time, the Secretary of State is prepared to

consider
