From hongkong
6 Bovember 1929.
with reference to your despatch number 741
?
(F.3442/31/10) of July 24th, last, I have the honour to
transmit herewită a copy of a despatch from the Governor
of kongkong in which be requests me to present to the
Chinese Cov÷rnment e claim for compensation in respect
of suspension of through-traffic during the current your
on the Canton- owloon Railway.
Having carefully considered this claim in the
light of the information in my possession, including
the Canton-Zowloon failway Joint working agreement of
1911, I hesitate to take tas responsibility of pressing
it upon the Chinese Government without an authoritative
ruling on the subject, seeing that I am in some doubt
aa to whether it can be justified.
Although the partien-
The Might Honourable,
