'

between this Government and the

American Consul General at

Hong Kong relative to the fouling

of two Goverment submarine cables

by the U.3.8. "Jason" on 4th March,

1926, and this Government's claim

for damage in respect of repair

and depreciation.

2.

I see no sufficient

reason for withdrawing the latter

part of the claim, which appears

to have full justification; and if

you concur in that view, I would

ask that the Foreign Office be

movod to make the necessary

representations to the United States Government.

THE RIGHT HONOURABLE

&c..

I have the honour to be,

Sir,

Your most obedient humble servant,

(Sa.) W. T. SOUTH CRN,

Officer Administering the Government

LIEUTENANT COLONEL L.C.M.S. AUQY, H.P.,

&C..
