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?
