The

second para. contains the startling assertion that the H.O. eld. not agree to the proposal that the Chinese Phroice Officer in H. K. shd.be

empowend to issue passports to chinese nationals.

to Mr. Mc. Alpine

on the phone. He assured

me, after some investigations, that the H.O. have

not contradicted themselves, & that the para.

as cancelled. He is

informing the F.O. accordingly.
