Dated 6th July.
Received 12.52 p.m. 6th July, 1934.
[16]
Addressed to the Secretary of State for the Colonies No.98
Repeated to Pekin Mission Canton.
Your telegram No.52. Kowloon City. Offer has been
communicated and either it or the formor offer(which is
regarded as more favourable in certain cases where site of
area is more important than simple reprovisioning ) has been
accepted by all concerned except absentees and two
recalcitrants.
Chinese Government has however audressed
Minister reiterating charge of breach of Treaty.
Apart from danger inherent in any acquiescence in this
repeated claim to imperium in imperio it is impossible for
Colonial Government now to withdraw offer accepted by great cajorily corrupt group) inhabitants and allow Treaty issue
todrop by leaving them in statu quo and unless the above facts regarding acceptance induced the Chinese Government
to abandon their claim principle I see no alternative but
to come into the open and take a firm line.
