Your telegram No.86.
Counsellor of French Legation (Minister is away)
informs me that French Legation never approach the
Waichiaopu unless they know for a fact that provincial authorities themselves have already applied to Central
Government for a huchaos.
In that case the most they
would be prepared to do would be to make some form of verbal
representations to Vice Minister for Foreign Affairs
expressing the hope that there might be no difficulty about
grant of the huchaos.
2. French attitude would appear a reasonable one and from
a local point of view I recommend that I be authorised in
principle to adopt similar policy.
Addressed to the Foreign Office No.237, repeated to
Commercial Counsellor, Mission, Canton, Hongkong and Trade
Commissioner.
