Dear Ellis,

RECEIVED

16 JUN 30

COL. OFFICE

52044

FOREIGN OFFICE, S.W.1.

13th June, 1930.

We receive from time to time communications from

Mr. Stephenson, the Head of the Chinese Customs Office in

London, which, owing to the delicacy of Mr. Stephenson's

position vis-à-vis the Chinese Minister in London, we keep

strictly private. We have recently received one such

communication in the form of a letter from Mr. Maze,

Inspector-General of Customs, to Mr. Stephenson criticising

in detail the amended version of the Hongkong-China

Customs Agreement. We thought it might be useful to you to

see this letter and we have now received Mr. Stephenson's

permission to send you, for your confidential information,

the copy which I enclose herewith.

Yours sincerely,

W.D. Ellis, Esq., C.M.G.

Cr. Orde
