From Commissioner for Foreign Affairs

To His Majesty's Consul-General, Canton.

March 19th, 1928.

sir.

I have the honour to inform you that having submitted

provisional denationalization regulations to the Canton

Branch Political Council, I received the following reply:

"In your communication you state that it is the

frequent practice of Chinese born or naturalized abroad

to take advantage of a dual nationality for illicit

private purposes, and you submitted provisional regula-

tions for the issue of denationalization certificatos in

order that proper distinctions could be observed and

abuses prevented, thus avoiding diplomatic complication.

The 86th meeting of this Branch Political Council passed

the regulations as amended and now forwards them to you

for necessary action".

I accordingly have the honour to transmit to you a

copy of these regulations which have also been communi-

cated to the Commissioners for Foreign Affairs at Ch'ao

Chow, Mei Hsien, Kiungchow, Licnchow and Leichow.

(Signed) Chu Chao-hain

Kwangtung Commissioner for Foreign Affairs.
