designed to placate irredentist opinion in the

Kuo Min Tang, it is proposed, if Sir “.

Vansittart concurs, to write privately to

Sir William Peel to let him know that his

attitude is one which meets with approval.

The negotiations

that is to say should

be confined to a purely Customs agreement,

designed for the better protection of each

other's revenue, and extraneous political

considerations (including an extraneous quid

pro quo on our side) should be excluded from

the discussions.

Yours sincerely,

Sd. E. Robrisa.
