BRITISH LEGATION PEKING.

October 28th, 1927.

Dear Xr. Ju,

Sir M. Lampson has received Mr,

Tsiang's letter of October 26 regarding Mr.

C. M. Chen's visit to Hongkong. We presume

that Mr. Tsiang's object in sending är. Chen

to Hongkong is to endeavour to come to some

arrangement with the Cantonese authorities

about the control of the office. On this

understanding Sir M. Lampson is forwarding

copy of Mr. Tsiang's letter to the Governor of

Hongkong, but, in view of the circumstances of

the case, which are well known to the Director

General, we are of course quite unable to say

to what extent the Hongkong Authorities will

be prepared to afford facilities to Mr. Chen,

In any case, however, the Hongkong Authorities

will, we feel sure, be glad to discuss the

situation with Mr. Chen.

Yours sincerely,

(Signed) Eric Teichman,

Mr. J.H. Ju,

Department of Telegrapha,

Ministry of Communications,

PAKING.
