CO129-534-1 Issue of travel certificates to Chinese 4-3-1931 - 7-3-1932 — Page 11

copy of which was transmitted

to the F.0. with Colonial Office

letter 72816/30 of the 28th of

January, 1931.

Mr. Thomas considers

that it was no doubt the intention

that these certificates should be

the

valid for/return journey

and,

in fact, there seems to be nothing in

them which actually restricts them

to a single journey. He, therefore,

considers that there will be no

objection to giving the Passport Office

the general authority for which

is requested

Sheg ok, that is, to endorse the

certificates as valid for the return

journey. He would propose, however,

to suggest to Hong Kong that the

wording of the certificates should

be altered as to make it clear that they

are valid for the return journey without

endorsement
