I am considering whether a Chinese member should be appointed to the Executive Council of Hong Kong and before deciding would be glad to receive by telegraph any observations you may wish to offer.' It occurs to me that such an appointment might give rise to a demand for a similar concession in the Straits Settlements and I should be glad to know whether you think this likely.

AMERY.
