GOVERNMENT HOUSE,
HONGKONG.
1st October, 1934.
I have the honour to confirm my telegram
No.25 regarding Kowloon City reading as follows:-
"Your telegrams (57) and (58) and note No.81
"(20/63A/1934) Kowloon City. I have since
"received copy of further correspondence
"between home departments concerned. Please
"await despatch".
and to forward for your information a copy of the corres-
pondence there mentioned. As you will see this corres-
pondence has been sent to me by the Colonial Office for
information only and I am not clear what line of action
is indicated in respect of the Wai Chiao Pu's note of
7th September. The course of persuasion advocated in the
last paragraph of the letter from the Foreign Office to
the Colonial Office dated 9th March, 1934, is precisely
that pursued by this Government with, it was thought,
success. It is however clear that someone with a
grievence against the Colonial Government's land policy
has a wire to the Wai Chiao Pu which he is pulling
vigorously. This person cannot at present be identified.
It seems probable from the mention of Kowloon Tsui that
his grievance does not arise from action over Kowloon
City at all. "Kowloon Taui" is probably a mistake for
"Kowloon /
