Many thanks for your letter of October 15th

regarding the banning of Asiatics from Colonial Golf Clubs.

We quite appreciate that it may be impossible

to get the ban relaxed at Mombasa, although the sending of the

correspondence to the Colonial Secretary, Kenya may

conceivably do some little good. We are however not so much

concerned over the question of Mombasa, where visits of

golfing Japanese diplomats cannot be very frequent, as of

Hong Kong. Even though the local Japanese of the Colony may

have their own course, it seems desirable, when one considers

the number of Japanese officials who must pass through

and you

Hong Kong, to avoid giving them unnecessary offence;

might therefore think it worth while to find out whether there

have been any unpleasant incidents there of the kind which

provoked Shudo's original complaint.

Yours sincerely,

(Signed) A. W. G. RANDALL.
