FOREIGN OFFICE.

S.W.1.

22nd September, 1937.

Sir,

23 SEP 1937

C. O. REG

I am directed by Mr. Secretary Eden to transmit to

you herewith copy of a despatch to His Majesty's Ambassador

at Lisbon recording a conversation between Sir Alexander

Cadogan and the Portuguese Ambassador on the subject of the

forthcoming visit to Macao of the Acting Governor of Hong

Kong.

2. I am to suggest that, if the Secretary of State

for the Colonies sees no objection, Mr. N.L. Smith should

be informed by telegram of the approach made by the

Portuguese Ambassador here and instructed to afford such

assistance and advice as lies in his power to the Governor

of Macao.

The Under-Secretary of State,

Colonial Office.

I am,

Sir,

Your obedient Servant,

Cw. Onde
