Addressed to Hongkong No.62.
Peking despatch No. 78 of 5th August, 1936. Note dated
26th October has been received from the Waichiaopu in regard
to instructions said to have been issued for the removal of
certain residents in Kowloon city to Ya Chien-wei (Giles
12831-1737-12529) before the end of the year instead of
Kou Shih-ling as previously arranged.
2.
Waichiaopu state that it is evident that the
residents in question are not yet willing to remove and as
both places named are outside the city they may if forced to
remove become homeless.
3. Waichiaopu therefore request that the government of
Hong Kong be moved to cancel or suspend the original proposal
to force the residents of Kowloon city to remove. Reply is
requested.
4.
Copy and translation of note follow by air mail.
5. What reply would Your Excellency wish me to
return?
Repeated to Foreign Office No.821 and His Majesty's
Ambassador No. 436.
