of Hong Kong in the matter of the transmission of munitions

from the Colony to China, I am directed by Mr. Secretary

for the Colonies that no advantage is likely to be served

by any intervention on the part of His Majesty's Ambassador

in Tokyo.

The Under Secretary of State,

I am,

Sir,

Your obedient Servant,
