Addressed to Hongkong No.59.
My telegram No.58 and last paragraph of my telegram
No.163 to Foreign Office of May 7th.
It has occurred to me that if agreement were
after all signed between Maze and you or me it might
possibly save a lot of trouble over minor points with
Minister for Foreign Affairs and Waichiopu who always
make meticulous difficulties over matters of form of
phraseology etc. Maze is agreeable and quotes Dairen
and Tsingtao customs agreements as precedents for this.
I do not know and am indeed doubtful whether
Chinese government would nowadays agree to this
procedure but if you concur and Foreign Office approve
we might try for it. In that case Maze would make necessary alterations in draft before submitting it to Sung (see my letter of September 27th and memorandum
of September 28th).
Repeated to Foreign Office and Mr, Ingram.
