COLONIAL SECRETARY'S OFFICE

Sir

HONG

KONO

27th January 1931.

Already sent by the Hon. Attorney General.

I am directed to forward for your

information a draft "Transition agreement" drawn

up inview of the possibility that some such

arrangement as it defines will be required as a

preliminary to the adoption of the main "Verger

Agreement".

2.

The whole document must be considered

as tentative and provisional, and to go no

further than an indication of the lines in which

this Government as at present advised will be

prepared to proceed; but entire freedom of action

in the future is still reserved.

I am Sir,

Your obedient servant,

(signed)

E. R. HALLIFAX.
