I am commanded by My Lords Commissioners of

the Admiralty to acquaint you, for the information of

Mr. Secretary Amery, that They consider it undesirable that these Japanese industries should be installed at Hong Kong and that future applications should be refused

on the grounds suggested by the Commander-in-Chief in

paragraph 2 of his letter of 31.12.1927.

2.-

If the scheme for which permission has been

given materialises, My Lords consider that the bona fides

of the personnel working from Hong Kong should receive

attention.

3.-

A copy of this letter has been sent to the

Foreign Office.

I am,

Sir,

Under-Secretary of State,

Colonial Office,

S.W.1.

Your obedient Servant,
