But I think that it would be useful

for the Governor to have them and Mr. Crook's

memorandum (15, Appendix A, on 71842), and that

they would help both him and the Vice-Chancellor

in further discussion locally. I suggest

therefore that they might be sent in continuation

either s.o. or in a confidential despatch, with

the remark that some of the suggestions made in

the course of discussion may be found useful, and

that Professor Soothill is understood to be

collecting further information regarding the

position and future of Chinese studies in China

proper, and that any information that he supplies

will be forwarded to the Governor.

After action has been taken on this, I

shall be glad if the papers can be sent to Mr.

Poynton for action in accordance with his minute

of 20. 2. 31. on 71842, i.e. the experts who

have been consulted ought to be sent copies of

the final minutes of the first meeting, and the

minutes of the second meeting, and Professor

Soothill ought to be told that further information

which he is collecting will be gratefully received

and passed on.
