I am directed by Mr. Secretary Amery to refer

to Colonial Office letter No.52801/28 of the 26th

September, 1928 on the subject of the amendment of the

Hong Kong and Shanghai Bank Ordinance and to transmit

to you, to be laid before the Board of Trade, the

accompanying copy of a telegram from the Governor of

Gov Tel. 26.1.29. Hong Kong.

Mr. Amery will be glad to learn as early as

possible whether the Board of Trade concur in the

Governor's interpretation, viz., that the amalgamation

schemes and arrangements referred to in paragraph 2 of

Treasury letter F.10158 of the 11th September 1928, are

only schemes and arrangements with other banking

institutions.

A similar letter is being addressed to the

Treasury.

THE SECRETARY

BOARD OF TRADE.

I am,

Sir,

Your most obedient servant,

(Signed) WALTER D. ELLIS
