Following for Sir M. Lampson.
Your telegram No.1393 (of November 28th:
Boxer Indemnity) does not answer question in last sentence
of my telegram
No.363.
It appears impossible to deal with paid deposits except by an amending Bill. As regards that portion of the fund therefore delay is inevitable and pending
legislation I cannot make an absolutely categorical
statement of our intentions regarding funds now
accumulated in the bank.
Question of unpaid balance will be decided by
the Cabinet on Wednesday.
Does above consideration modify your recommendation
in paragraph 2 of your telegram under reference?
