reply to Mimialy

The Governor's report on this

particular piracy is contained in No.23 flagged

in 30016D/1927. Further reports are cont a in ed

in Nos.2 and 3 on 52747/28, and the original

Chinese representations on the score of

illegality, with a Foreign Office memorandum on the question, are in No.14 flagged in 52747.

The legality, or otherwise, of the action of

the submarine in the case of the "Irene" is

not really any concern of ours:

if any

compensation has to be paid it will be the Admiralty that will have to find it.

might be referred to Mr. Bushe in case he has

any observations to make, but, subject to

anything he may say, I should be disposed to reply that Mr. Amery does not wish to express any views as to the reply to be returned to the

Chinese Minister for Foreign Affairs, while

enclosing the duplicate enclosures to No.2

which include the official report of the

proceedings in Hong Kong.
