re Mr. Sing Man Cho.

92610/1932

We are in receipt of your letter of yesterday's

date, which appears to us to be a contradiction in itself.

You state that the settlement was approved by

the Secretary of State on behalf of the Government of Hong Kong;

that is to imply that the Secretary of State, while approving

on behalf of the Governor of Hong Kong to the clause that the

Government of Hong Kong would use its best endeavours to enable

Mr. Sung Man Cho to reach a place of safety, had already decided at

that time, that it would be useless for the Government of Hong

Kong to use any endeavours to allow Mr. Sung Man Cho to reach

England.

Ca/n PC.

It seems incredible to us that such can really

been the intention of the Secretary of State at that time.

Platter

We are

are cabling to Hong Kong with regard to the

latter portion of your letter, but our instructions here from

Hong Kong are definitely to the contrary.

Under Secretary of State,

Colonial Office.

S.W.1.

Yours faithfully,
