No. 229.

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.
