Your telegram to His Majesty's Ambassador at Peking
No.8 of May 1st 1929. Commercial Treaty.
The possibility of readjustment of Anglo-Chinese
economic relations is, in the light of impressione formed
by Six Frederick Leith-Ross, under consideration.
I
shall be obliged if, for this purpose, you will let me
know by telegram as soon as possible whether the circule r
concerning the retention of national status by Chiness
,
goods shipped from one treaty port to another via Hong Kong
which was issued in February 1929 by the Inspector General
of the Chinese Maritime Customs, is still in force and being
effectively applied. If so, have its effecta been
appreciable on Hong Kong trade? Can they be estimated
quantitatively?
