My telegram No. 23 to Canton.
I have no received Cant on despatch No. 40 and I
concur in the views expressed by the Commander-in-Chief
in his telegram to Canton of March 2nd.
Subject to your views I consider His Majesty's Consul-
General at Canton should now write to his Japanese
colleague, referring to the passage in the agreement quoted
in the first paragraph of Commander-in-Chief's telegram and
Anlassadi saying that His Majesty's Consul-General, to whom the matter
has been reported, while not dissenting from the view that
sailings in the immediate future may in practice be
generally in these proportions regards this as merely
temporary situation of the fact and as in no way
constituting any precedent for the future.
Addressed to Foreign Office.
Repeated to Canton
telegram No. 27, Governor of Hong Kong telegram No. 28 and
Commonder-in-Chief telegram No. 62.
