drafts officially to the Departments
concerned, inviting their concurrence.
It is also proposed to write to
the Admiralty saying that in the light of
what was said at the meeting, the Secretary
of State agrees that in existing circumstances,
no useful purpose would be served at this
juncture by pursuing the suggestion that
additional armed launches should be
provided for service in the Canton Delta, and
that the Secretary of State does not propose
to press the late Governor's suggestion that
that part of the cost of running the launches which
was borne by the Colonial Government, should
be refunded by the Admiralty.
I am.
