Consul General Canton's 47 to you. Possibly

moment is not opportune for altering existing arrangements

especially as atmosphere at Canton seems better and I have

still hope of Pearl River being opened to trade in April.

I propose this matter should stand over to a time which

Consul General Canton considers more suitable (? than) action

suggested in your telegram 229 to Foreign Office.
