Dear Youry.

Many thanks for your letter of the 31st August

enclosing copies of further telegrams between the

Bank of England and Rogers about the possible removal

of the Chinese Government Banks to Hong Kong, and the

draft of a cable from the Bank to Rogers.

There seems to be no harm in a branch of a

belligerent government bank carrying on ordinary banking

operations in a neutral country; subject therefore to

the views of the Colonial Office, to whom I am sending

a cony of this letter, we concur in the draft.

Yours Ancerely

synis J. Pratt.
