I enclose a copy of a despatch from Lampson

covering one from Moss about deportation of Chinese

political refugees from Hongkong. Moss's despatch

has not been sent to Hongkong in view of the wordi ng

of certain passages, and we are not sending it to you

officially in case you should feel obliged to send it

on, but I think some of its contents may be useful

to you, though I am not attracted by Moss's proposal

for a public declaration by the Hongkong Government.

Yours sincerely,

។
