Aide-Memoire.

Recently Mr. Hu Mien was appointed Director of the Chinese

Telegraph office in Hong Kong. Up to date, however, his predecessor,

Mr. Chiang Hsiao-lu, has refused to vacate his post and hand over

his duties.

Dr. M.T.Z.Tyau, upon instructions of this Ministry, called on

Mr. Hewlett some ten days age with the request that he move sir

Miles Lampson to telegraph to the Hong Kong Government with the

suggestion that Mr. Hu, the newly-appointed Director, should be

enabled to assume his office.

The Kinister for Foreign Affairs of the National Government

will greatly appreciate if Sir Miles will accede to this request and,

using his good offices, invoke the assistance of the Hong Kong Gov-

ernment so that, on the one hand, Mr. Hu Mien will be able to function

properly as the Director of the Chinese Telegraph Office in Hongkong

and, on the otherhand, Dr. Chiang Hsiao-lu will be prevented from

interposing obstacles and obstructions in Mr. Hu's efficient discharge

of his duties.
