sir.

I have the honour to acknowledge the

receipt of your telegram No.15 dated the 19th June,

in which you say that the Chinese Government's former

telegraph agent in Hong Kong, Chiang Hsiao-lu, who is

a Kwangsi man, refuses to hand over to Hu Mien, the

new appointee, and that the Chinese Minister for

Foreign Affairs asks whether I can assist in this

Mattery and at least see that, if Mr. Chiang does

not hand over, he does not exercise his functions.

2. The facts of the 12se are by no means in

accordance with the representations apparently made

to you by the Chinese Minister for Foreign Affairs.

You will know from Mr. V.T.Southorn's seoret

despatch to the Secretary of State for the Colonies,

dated the 20th July, 1928, a copy of which was

forwarded to you at the time, that, under

instructions from the Canton Government, Mr. Kong Biu-

lou (

Chiang Hsiao-lu) took up the post

of Superintendent of the Chinese Telegraph Office in

Hong Kong on the 29th June, 1928; and, on reference to

His Britannic Majesty's Minister,

PEKING.
