With reference to your despatch No. 936

of 14th August, regarding the expropriation of

Chinese tenants in Kowloon City, I have the honour

to inform you that I hended the memorandum enclosed

therein to the Head of the European and American

Department at the Faiahisopu today.

2. In handing the Note to Mr. Liu Shih-shun

I emphasised that no notice fixing the time limit

for evacuation had been issued by the Governor, and

that the inducement offered had been an extremely

generous ono, ɛɛ was shown by the feat that all the

inhrbitents except one had gladly accepted it.

3. Mr. Liu confined his reply to stating that

he would communicate the memorandum to Mr. Wang Ching-

woi.

I have the honour to be,

sir,

Your most obedient,

huable servant,

(Signed)
