FURTHER ACTION.

Dear Ronald,

With reference to your

letter to Gent of the 26th November,

1938, F 12316/12316/10) regarding a

316/20)

proposal for establishing in Hong

Kong a branch of the Provincial

Bank of Fukien, we have had a letter

from Caine, the Financial Secretary

and Treasurer, Hong Kong, stating

that it would be useful to the

Colonial Government to have fuller

information about the treatment of

foreign semi-governmental corporations

carrying on commercial business in

this country as problems may arise in

ノ

the Colony in connection with Chinese

Government
