Dear Sirs,

5 & 6 Clement's Inn,

Strand, W.C.2.

13th September, 1932.

Sung Man Cho

We have received a letter from our professional

clients in Hong Kong to the effect that after discussion

with the Police and the Crown Solicitor of Hong Kong

agreement was reached that the only safe place for the

gentleman was England and the only safe route was via

Australia, South Africa.

Arrangements were made for Mr. Sung Man Cho to

leave Hong Kong on the 23rd August subject to the consent

of the Colonial Office. After all the arrangements had

been made, our client was notified that Mr. Sung Man Cho

would not be allowed in England. This appears to us to

be directly contrary to Clause 3 of the undertaking given

by Sir Stafford Cripps in settlement of this matter.

We also understand that the Governor of Hong

Kong has cabled to England explaining the position and

saying that he has granted two months extension for the

purpose of this point being elucidated.

The matter is urgent and we shall be glad to

hear from you as early as possible.

We view this matter very seriously, as we feel

sure that you your selves will also.

Yours faithfully,

LIGHT & FULTON

Messrs. Burchell,

5. The Sanctuary,

Westminster, S.W.1.
