THE CHINA CONSORTIUM,

Central Agency.

My dear Wellesley,

9, Gracechurch Street,

London, E.C.3.

December 8, 1922.

PORT OF CANTON.

With reference to your letter of August 16 I enclose

a copy of a further communication from the American Group, showing the origin of their enquiries regarding railway connexions in Canton, I also send a memorandum of my con-

versation with Whigham on the subject.

At the conclusion of the interview I ventured to express regret that the Representative in China of the American Group, while ostensibly in Peking as an advocate of co-operation should persistently employ himself in generating an atmosphere of suspicion and distrust between his Group and its closest

sascointe.

Yours sincerely,

(Bigned) C.6, Addis

.A.A.H. Wellesley, Esq., C.B.,

Foreign office, S.W.1.
