The visit of the Mission to Canton would create the impression in Hong Kong and Kuang-tung that His Majesty's Government is not prepared to stand by this Colony. A visit to Hong Kong by the Mission forthwith would be very opportune and, if after visiting Hong Kong the Mission refrains from visiting Canton, this would be a strong in- centive to the Canton Government to end the boycott".

On the 20th March I telegraphed to Macleay:- "I still. think that the claims of the Hong Kong University are sufficient to justify an early visit of Lord Willingdon's Mission to Hong Kong, and that it is very important that soldiarity of fritish interests throughout China should be made evident by the Mission ignoring Canton while the boycott lasts". Sir James Jamieson informed me on the 22nd March that he entirely concurred in this view, and on that day I wrote to the Pecretary of State for the Colonies as follows:- "As regards the opinion of Lord Willingdon's delegation that it is impossible to come to Hong Kong without going to Canton, I venture to submit that

this delegation has been sent out by His Majesty's Govern- ment to advise as to the disposal of funds which are under the control of His Majesty's Government and that therefore it would be in every way fitting that the delegation should pay an early visit to a British Colony which forms geograph- ically a part of China, and in which British and Chinese interests coincide. The fact that thia British Colony of Hong Kong is now, for no fault of its own, in great difficulties owing to Bolshevist action from Vanton is,

I submit a strong additional reason why the delegation should visit Hongkong and inquire into the Colony's needs. I amı

at loss to understand why the anti-British boycott conduct

of a Soviet Government in Canton, which makes it impossible
