HONG KONG,

27th October, 1932.

51.

With reference to recent correspondence dealing

with the deportation of Sung Man Cho alias Nguyen Ai Quoc

and more particularly to my telegram No.171 of 18th August, 1932, and your reply No.113 of 29th August, 1932,

regarding the destination of this deportee, I have the honour to enclose a copy of the paraphrase of your (cypher telegram No.124 of 8th October, 1931, as it stands

in the records of this Government and to request that it may be verified with the original message.

On 82837/11

In the light of your more recent instructions it seems probable that the word 'NOT' in the sentence "His

coming to England would not be objected to by the Home Office" is a mistake, but as the original cypher message

has been destroyed further investigation here is

impossible.

Sir,

Your most obedient, humble servant,

W.D. Southor.

Officer Administering the Government.

THE RIGHT HONOURABLE

SIR P. CUNLIFFE-LISTER, G.B.E., M.C., M.P.,
