Dear Mr Maze,

Your letter of April 17th reached me the follow-

ing day. Thank you for sending the copy of your

letter to Stephenson of April 16th.

I do not myself at present see clearly on this

question of a Hong Kong Customs Agreement, and there

are certain points regarding which I am at present

in communication with the Foreign Office. When

they are clearer than they are now it is more than

likely that I shall be suggesting to you that we

have a talk together on the whole question. I shall

probably be in Shanghai for a couple of days before

I go North early next month. My dates are uncertain,

but I will let you know later, for even if there is

nothing concrete to be said then regarding the

Agreement (which I ought to know shortly), I should

F. E. Maze, Esquire,

Inspector-General of Customs,

SHANGHAI.
