From Commissioner for Foreign Affairs,

Canton.

9th April, 1928.

sir,

I have the honour to acknowledge your letter

of the 30th March requesting that the name of Superintendent

of the Chinese Telegraph Office in Hongkong be changed to

"Commercial Agent in charge of the Chinese Telegraph Office

in Hongkong". My Government has again considered the matter

but its members felt that it would not be satisfactory to

effect this change in view of the fact that Mr. Kong sin

Lui has been appointed by the Canton Branch Political Council

as Superintendent, as I informed you on the 28th March,

I have the honour to request that you will acquaint the

Governor of Hongkong with the above reason.

(Sgd.) Chu Chao-hsin.

Commissioner for Foreign Affairs.
