As regards the suggestion, in Foreign Office letter No. F.7760/48/10 of the 20th of December, that copies of the Report of the Committee appointed by the Governor of Hong Kong to consider the question of

Slavery Committee, I am to way that Mr. Thomas would

prefer to postpone taking this action until the
