EPARTMENT OF OVERSEAS TRADE,

35,

RECEIVED Old Queen Street S.W.1.

[15 JUN 1936

C. O. REGY

11th June 1936.

Dear Shuckburgh,

Many thanks for your letter of the 8th

June on the subject of the British Empire and

China Trade Fair. I have written a letter to

Malcolm Robertson of which I enclose a copy.

When he comes I propose to read to him extracts

from Caldecott's letter. I was extremely interested

in the "open letter" from Junius Sinicus because he

reproduces almost exactly the arguments which I used

when discussing this question with Malcolm Robertson

and Sempill.

Some friends of mine from Hong Kong whom

I consulted about the fair Beatrice told me that

all that they can remember about the capture by

brigands in the interior was that there had been a

fracas with a Chinese coolie on the Pekin-Hong Kong.

in Hongthing: I felt I must leave

this in!

Sir J.E. Shuckburgh, K.C.M.G., C.B.
