With reference to Mr. Edgcu¬be's letter of the

11th of March, a reply has now been received from the

Governor of Hong Kong regarding the contribution of

£250,000 from the Colonies towards the establishment ď

the Singapore Base.

The Governor stated that he would prefer to

hand over the whole amount at once in order to get rid

of a cross entry in the balance sheet, and suggested that

the Grow Agents should tran:fer the investment to

X.X.G./

The Crown Agents have now been instructed that

the sum in question should be transferred from the necourf

which they keep for the Government of Hong Kong to a

special account to be opened, from which they could from

time to time, on receipt of instructions from the

Colonial Office, make such advances by way of instalments

Vincent Eaddeley, K.C.B.
