2 June, 1932.

In connection with the matters discussed in our official letter No. 16/Abroad/276 (F.1.) of the 25th (1) April, 1932, on the subject of the Hong Kong Military

Contribution, I notice that in the correspondence from the Governor on the question of the profit by exchange on the sale of investments, a reference is given to a Colonial Office despatch, No. 431 of 26th November, 1925, in which the Secretary of State for the Colonies issued certain instructions in the matter to the Colony.

47207/255

We do not appear to have seen the despatch referred to, and I shall be glad if you can let me have a copy to complete our records on the question.

Yours sincerely,

Throwway
