No.392 from H.M's Minister at Peking to theForeign Office.

Position as regards Hong Kong is most grave for the Colony isBritish by reason of the Treaty of Nanking Article III and it is article X of the same Treaty as regards imports and exports which Canton Government now defies. It is moreover avowed object of the Nationalist Party to regain both Hong Kong and new territories leased to Great Britain under the Convention of 1898. If therefore sanctity of treaties is not defendednot only are trade and future prosperity of

cts

Hong Kong seriously menaned but our title deeds to the Colony and new territories become mere scraps of paper. I am convinced that Canton Governmentwill ofset purpose ignor and defy treaties up to point at which it meets forcible resistance. In such circumstances policy of

conciliation is futile and I earnestly hope that H.M.Govern-

ment will insist on the strict observance of our treaties and

allow no alteration in them except by negotiation in proper

form. Repeated to Peking No.27 of the 31st.
