BRITISH LEGATION,

PEKING.

2nd April, 1928.

71

Dear Department,

The Minister who read our despatch number 286 of

March 23rd., on his return to Peking, has no observations

to offer, the question of the prevention of piracy having

been so thoroughly gone into by Brenan and Barton.

Meanwhile it would seem that the treatment meted out to

the "Irene" and her pirates has proved a useful deterrent.

Yours ever,

CH AN CERY.

Far Eastern Department,

Foreign Office.
