Indemnity are paid, they should also be partly

from the Chinese Government, my intention is to

instruct you to reply that His Kajesty's

Government will at once take steps to remit mil

payments of the Indemity in future to the

National Government's unfettered control; and

that in due course, after the necessary logis-

lation has been passed in Parliament, HAS

Majesty's Government will transfer to the

National Government the balance of the deposited

funds, after having set aside the two sums of

£200,000 and £250,000 for the Universities

China Committee and Hong Kong University

respectively.
