Sir,

I have the honour to acknowledge receipt of

your despatch No.440 dated 30th October, 1937, transmitting

Son, Limited, regarding the cost of sidings constructed

on the Kowloon-Cant on Railway to provide location for

certain coaches of the Compagnie Internationale des

Wagons-Lits and in reply to enclose for your information

a copy of a memorandum by the Manager, Kowloon-Canton Railway, containing the history of this transaction.

memorandum I regret that I do not feel justified in

acceding to the request that this Government should

make a further contribution to the cost of storage of

the se coaches.
