PARAPHRASE telogram from the Secretary of State for the Colonies to the Govornor of Hong Kong,
(Sent 2.35 p.m. 6th November 1930).
No.104.
Hy telegram 31st October No.101. Chinese Customs Agreement. Printed copy of draft dated
Shanghai 26th September is in form of Agreement betweon Chinore Government and Government of Hong Kong.
Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs has represented
and
that this form is inappropriate/I agree. It appears that alternatives are an agreement between (a) His lajesty's Government in the United Kingdom and National Government of Tepublic of China, or (b) Chinese Maritime Customs Administration and Hong Kong. Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs is strongly in favour of form (a) and I presume you I am inclined to agree with this view, would have no objection. Cortain purely formal verbal amendments in text, which would be settled in consultatio between Colonial Office and Foreign Office will of course
be involved.
