Dear Heppel,

15th November, 1938.

Canton Kowloon Railway.

I suggest the enclosed alternative to the

draft enclosed with your official letter (F 11285/10648/10)

of the 3rd.

As I thing you agreed, there seems to be no

reason why we should not remind the Japanese of our

interest in the Chinese section of the railway, and of

our ownership of the British section.

e agree that in

the circumstances it would be unwise to raise the question

of payment out of railway revenues towards the service of

the loans; but I do not think that the telegrams must be

read as suggesting this.

I am sending a copy of this to Gent.

Yours sincerely,

R.P. Heppel Esq.,

Foreign office.
