Dear Young,

FOREIGN OFFICE, S.W.1.

30th August, 1937.

25

With reference to our telephone conversation

this morning I enclose for your information copy of a minute

by the Legal Adviser on the point raised in Paragraph 3 of

Rogers' telegram of August 28th, namely, removal of Head

Offices of Chinese Government banks to Hongkong, assuming

that to be what is contemplated. The political implications

of such a removal have not yet been examined and it may be

better to wait until some clarification of Paragraph 3 is

received before doing so. An extra copy of the minute is

enclosed in case you are communicating with the Colonial Office.

[So S.T PRATT]

F. Young, Esq.,

The Treasury.
