Sip,
With reference to your third personal note No.
59 of 20th Juno, 1934, forwarding a copy of your Confidential
despatch to Peking No.80 of the same date on the subject of
anti-piracy co-operation with the Canton authorities I havO
the honour to inform you that there are obvious objections
to the proposal mentioned in the third paragrath of your
despatch, namely, that Chinese troops should be permitted to
enter British territory in pursuit of pirates. The arrange-
ments in forac which provide for co-operation and ezolvange of
infomation between the Chinese local authorities and the
Hong Kong Police Department have worked quite satisfactorily
in the past, and there is no reason to anticipate that any
difficulty will occur in the future »

Vith regard to the second part of the paragraph
in question, Canton detectives have from time to time assisted
the liong Kong Police in tracing and identifying criminals ship
have taken refuge in the Colony, and, should occasion arine,
similar arrangements for co-operation will no doubt be made.
I have the honour to be,
Sir,
Your most obedient Servant.
