Washington memorandum of 4th February, 1922, oopy of which

is enclosed for your information, and will strongly press the

policy therein indicated.

3. Sir R.Macleay has been informed that, if the

Chinese Government do not accept and agree to carry out the

arrangement suggested by the Washington experts, it is important to bear in mind that His Majesty's Government

on the general ground that His Majesty's Government are unable

to agree to being entirely dependent on Chinese-Worked

telegraph lines for their communications with North China.

5. Finally, Sir R.Moleay has been requested, at the

appropriate time, to ask for a general assurance that if
